Frequently Asked Questions about Tenants Contents Insurance
1. Who is the product suitable for? If you’re a tenant who’s renting a property, then this product is for you. If you’re renting but then you buy your own home mid-way through the tenancy, you can take your cover with you.
2. Is my bike covered under Tenants Contents Insurance? Tenants contents insurance does cover pedal cycles, but not motorbikes. You get £500 per pedal cycle included as standard at your house with the option to insure more expensive bikes in or out of the home if you’d like. If you have more than one bike, you can claim for each, as long as each bike doesn’t exceed a £500 value per bike.
3. My circumstances have changed – do I need to do anything? You need to notify your insurer when any relevant circumstances change, as this could impact your cover or any future claims you might need to make.
