What is Contents insurance?

Contents insurance, simply put, is insurance for your personal belongings in your home. You don’t need to be a homeowner, either, as many renters choose to take out Contents insurance for their homes.

‘Contents sum insured’ – the amount you insure your contents for – should cover the cost of repairing or replacing personal belongings and household goods. This includes items such as carpets, rugs, furniture and electronics. It’s important that you accurately assess the value of your contents, otherwise you may end up being underinsured.

Furthermore, RedClick's Home insurance provides a range of extra benefits and should you wish, you can also choose to protect your house with Buildings insurance. Want to go a step further and protect your vehicle? RedClick has you covered with some of the most affordable car insurance in Ireland.

Read our frequently asked questions on Contents insurance

What is covered by "accidental damage" under my home policy?

Accidental damage is optional and if you have selected it, you'll be covered for any sudden and unexpected damage which is not caused deliberately.

For example, on your Buildings insurance, it would cover you for accidents such as putting a nail through a pipe.

On your Contents insurance, it would cover you for accidentally spilling paint on a carpet.

More information is available in your policy booklet.

What are "valuables" in home & contents insurance?

Home
Our Contents insurance includes cover for valuables such as jewellery, items of precious metals, timepieces, photographic equipment, works of art, antiques, furs, musical instruments, collections of stamps, curios, coins or medals.

Any individual item valued at over €3,000 should be listed individually on your Home insurance policy. If you only want to cover these individual items whilst in the home, you can specify them as high value items. If you would like the cover to be extended outside the home, you'll need to specify the individual items as all risk items.
