Why you should insure your Laptop
Thousands of Laptops are reported lost, stolen or accidentally damaged every
month.
Standard Home and Office insurance policies do not provide adequate cover or
full protection. Some policies will not insure Laptops, others will incur hefty
excess charges.
CUSC's specialist cover is designed to enable laptop users to obtain immediate
cover at the most competitive rates.
The CUSC LapGuard policy provides comprehensive cover:
What is not covered?
- Laptops that were purchased over 6 months ago
- Damage or breakdown of your Laptop caused by a virus
- Mechanical breakdown or faulty construction
- Unapproved repair costs
- Loss of income or business interruption
- Wear and tear
- Cosmetic damage such as scratches
