In today’s tech-centric world, taking your gadgets on the road is just as common and essential as packing an extra pair of socks. That's why our travel insurance plans have been designed for digital nomads. Whether you’re plugging into your social network or working remotely in a hub, we can help you protect your laptop, smart phones and other devices.

Travel Insurance: How are my electronics covered?

Our policies offer cover for a wide range of gadgets: iPhones, smartphones, iPads, Kindles, tablets, cameras, lenses and laptops. But how we can cover your items (and how much) depends on your plan. We may offer cover for: 

  • When you gear is stolen under your supervision
  • Tech devices destroyed by a fire or a natural disaster

Note: depreciation and wear and tear will be taken into account when calculating the value of your electronic items.

  • Any damage incurred when you check your device into your luggage 
  • Devices older than the policy can cover
  • Items that can't be proved that you own (for example, you don't have a record of their purchase) 

This is not a full list of what's covered and not covered.  Other terms, conditions and exclusions may apply. Please read your policy carefully.

Tips for Digital Nomads

  • Find and scan your receipts before you leave.
  • If an airline loses your gadgets, notify them right away and get a record.
  • Theft? Report it to the police as soon as possible.
  • Password protect your devices and enable the lock screen if possible.
  • Make a claim at home or on the road.

Bag snatched in Latvia.

It was my final day in Riga, Latvia. In my small bag I keep all my valuables, because hostels can't always be reliable with safekeeping. It contained my new GoPro, Iphone, digital camera, laptop and hard drive, plus my emergency money (200 euros). I planned on using my cameras and computer for editing later that afternoon. The coast was amazing and, as it got late, I decided to take the train back to Riga city. As I was getting off the train, down the vertical steep steps, I had my bag snatched off my shoulder. In seconds, the doors closed and the train pulled off. Telling authorities on the platforms immediately, they could not assist and referred me straight to the police. Feeling helpless, I went to the police where I was kept for hours, because of English barriers and translations of documents. I walked out just after midnight with my report. A day trip I won't forget soon.
