Useful info

  • If you have a car in the UK, you must have car insurance by law.
  • Phone 999 in emergencies to contact the Police, Fire or Ambulance.

Insurance is a wise investment. Anything could happen during your stay in the UK and you will save a lot of trouble by being prepared.

Contents insurance is different from travel insurance. This will cover the value of your possessions in your student house, halls or homestay accommodation, in case they get damaged or stolen.

Imagine how much you would spend if you had to replace everything: your laptop, phone, clothes and books. It's cheaper to buy insurance!

Health insurance will cover you for medical treatment during your stay in the UK. You may already be eligible for some treatments. To find out more, click here.

Useful info

  • It is likely that insurance will be included in your rent if you're staying in halls of residence, but make sure you check to see if you are covered.
  • You can pay for insurance for a year, or pay every month by Direct Debit.
  • Don't think you are 100% protected just because you live in halls. One in three students becomes a victim of crime.
  • Remember to get travel insurance if you are travelling around.
  • Ask your UK bank if they offer contents insurance, or research different offers on the internet. Try www.moneysupermarket.com
  • You can register property (like laptops, phones, bikes) on the National Property register which will increase the chances that it can be recovered if stolen. Click here: www.immobilise.com
