Valuables Insurance

Valuables Insurance policies provide cover for personal valuables you own, this type of insurance cover applies on a worldwide basis. There are many differences between how your valuables are covered under the Personal Valuables Insurance policy.

What is covered on a Valuables Insurance policy?

Not only can you insure your valuables for an agreed or appraised value, your cover applies anywhere in the world. The policy also provides cover for mysterious disappearances, which means if you lose an expensive watch or ring while hiking in the mountains, the insurance policy will pay for replacing it. The policy will also provide cover for loss due to breakage which means if the diamond falls out of your spouse's wedding ring and is lost, it's covered; or if you accidentally drop an expensive camera and break it, it will be covered as well.

Scheduled or Blanket Insurance Cover?

When you purchase your Personal Valuables Insurance, you will generally create a schedule of items to be covered. This means that you will list each item by type, description, appraisal amount, and requested limit. For smaller, less expensive items, you have the option of grouping them together with a single limit of cover (blanket) for the group. In most cases, the insurance company may require proof of value by requesting a copy of current appraisals for each item on the schedule. Your final cost of the policy is typically a percentage of the total, however, you may receive better rates if your valuables are stored in a safe or deposit box at your bank.

Newly Acquired Property ?

Your policy will also have a newly acquired property clause which means that any valuable items you purchase are automatically insured up to a percentage of the total limits on the policy. This comes in very handy if you are traveling and decide to make a purchase. With this clause, you have plenty of time to report the new purchase to the insurer when you return home.

Loss to a Pair or Set Insurance?

This covers you if you lose a piece of jewellery or valuable piece of art that belongs to a pair or in a set. The cover will pay to replace the pair or the entire set of valuable property as long as you agree to return the remaining pieces to your insurer.

Valuable property is always at risk whether it’s in your home or with you when you travel. It makes very good financial sense to protect your property anywhere in the world and on a much broader basis than what you have in your.
