Gadget insurance

Our gadget cover goes where you go

Wherever in the world you take your gadgets, make sure they’re insured.

  • Protect your smartphone, laptop, tablet and digital camera from loss, theft and damage
  • You’re covered whether you’re at home or anywhere else in the world
  • Available if you’re insuring your contents with us (including starter contents)

What’s covered

With gadget cover, you can carry your gadgets around with you and they’ll be covered against loss, theft or damage not just at home but anywhere in the world. Your phone’s protected against unauthorised network charges and if it’s stolen, we’ll always aim to provide a refurbished replacement within 48 hours.

You're not just covered, you're Barclaycovered.

What you get as standard

Worldwide cover for your gadgets and associated accessories against loss, theft or damage

Cover for mobile phones, laptops, tablets, digital cameras and other portable electronic devices

 

Accessories, such as camera lenses, covered up to the sum insured

 

Choose the level of cover you need, from £1,000 to £10,000 – no need to pay for anything you don’t require

 

You only need to specify individual gadgets if they’re worth more than £1,000

 

Replacement, repair or cash/vouchers for gadgets

Mobile phone breakdown

We’ll aim to provide a refurbished replacement mobile phone within 48 hours, if yours breaks down outside the manufacturer’s warranty

No age restrictions on gadgets

It doesn't matter how long you've had your gadgets, they're covered regardless of age

Family cover

We’ll also cover gadgets belonging to your partner and other family members who live with you permanently

Independent excess

The excess on your gadget cover is completely separate to the excess on any other cover you purchase, so you can set it to suit you, from £50 to £200

What’s not covered

We won’t replace your mobile with a new one, it’ll be a good-as-new refurbished model. Other exclusions include

  • Unauthorised use if you haven’t notified your network provider within 24 hours of discovering your gadget has been lost or stolen
  • Loss of information stored on the gadget, such as music, photos or videos
  • Cosmetic damage such as scratches, dents or any other type of damage that doesn’t stop the gadget from working properly

The policy document [PDF, 893KB] provides full details of what is and isn’t covered. The list we’ve shown above is only intended as a guide.

This could suit you if

  • You want cover for your gadgets both inside and outside the home
  • You want to protect your gadgets along with your other possessions under one insurance policy

Only have a few gadgets?

If your gadgets are worth less than £1,500, or you only want to cover up to four mobile phones, our Tech Pack [PDF, 55KB] might be a better option.
