How much is enough?
The cost of your contents insurance premium will depend on the value of the items you are looking to insure. You can take out insurance to cover from a minimum of €10,000 in contents. In order to make sure you are fully covered if you had to replace the contents of your home, after a fire, for example, it's important to work out how much it would cost to replace all of your contents with new items.
What’s covered?
Home contents insurance generally covers possessions or personal items that you would, for example, like to take with you if you were moving house. Items that aren’t fixed features in your home are covered under contents insurance against loss, damage, theft, fire and water leakage. Items covered by home contents insurance include: furniture, clothes, electrical items, money and jewellery. In the event of a household emergency, all Zurich customers can avail of our 24 hour emergency assist helpline by dialling 0818 400 700.
