Burglary is a common crime and, according to studies by TheEcoExperts, a burglary is estimated to take place in the UK every 106 seconds. Unfortunately, student accommodation is often targeted; it’s well known that students arrive at uni equipped with expensive items such as laptops, speakers, phones and other essential gadgets and personal belongings. They’re often getting used to a new town/city and aren’t always familiar with their surroundings. Figures show that almost 1 in 15 students have experienced a burglary whilst at University.
But this doesn’t mean that moving away from home has to be a stressful or frightening experience. Often things happen in life that we have no control over; from dropping your phone and spilling coffee on your laptop, to having your flat broken into, but there are things we can do to minimise the stress. This is where Student Insurance comes in.
If the worst happens, and you become a victim of theft, you have the security and peace of mind of knowing that your insurance can go some way towards replacing your stolen items, so you can get back to normal as soon as possible.
It can help in other situations too. If, for example, you miss a coursework submission or exam because you or a family member are ill, The Insurance Emporium student insurance can help with the cost of resitting exams and reproducing coursework.
We can all be clumsy at times, but some mishaps can cost you more than you’d think, and it’s important to maintain a good relationship with your landlord. Accommodation Liability cover can come in handy if you accidentally damage the landlord’s household goods, gas, electricity or water meters.
You even get the option of covering the loss or theft of your house keys or swipe card, because who hasn’t locked themselves out before? The Insurance Emporium can pay for a new key and replacement lock, as well as giving you £50 towards the call out charge for an emergency locksmith, should you need one.
What’s in it for me?
University is one of life’s huge adventures, many say it’s one of the best times of their lives, so why take the risk of being uninsured for the sake of *£2.00 per lunar month? That’s less than the average price for a cup of coffee . We believe in preparing for the unexpected, leaving you free to focus on the important things; exploring a new city, meeting new people and enjoying nights out, while remembering to fit in some studying too!
