Why buy gadget insurance?

Phones are fragile. If you haven’t already suffered a damaged phone, you might want to get gadget insurance before you do

What’s the excess?

The more you need to insure, the higher the costs can climb. So we’ve worked hard to keep the excess to pay on claims as low as possible. The amount varies depending on the cover level you choose and how long after taking out the policy you claim.
