Do I need iPad Insurance?

In some instances you may not need to purchase insurance for your iPad

Your home contents policy may cover you

Your iPad may already be covered by your home contents insurance policy (if you have one). Not all policies include cover for gadgets and often they do not provide the same level of cover as a specialist gadget insurance policy – it’s important to contact your contents insurer to see exactly what is covered.

Some coverage is offered by the Apple Warranty

While Apple won’t replace your iPad if it is lost or stolen (or certain types of damage including water damage), there are some types of damage which are covered by your Apple warranty. If you are uncertain refer to the warranty.

You may be a very careful person

It’s possible you will never lose or damage your iPad, insurance is simply a safeguard.

What to Look for in a Policy

Knowing what to look for is the first step in finding a great deal. Use this as a reference point when comparing the available policies.

• Theft - A replacement if your iPad is stolen
• Damage - A replacement/cover for repair costs if your iPad is damaged
• Water Damage – Specific cover for liquid/water damage
• International Cover – The same level of cover abroad as you have at home
• Breakdown cover – Typically an extension of your warranty

   Both policies have their strengths and benefits and it’s important to use the comparison table to compare which one offers the better deal for your needs.
