What does my Renters Contents Insurance policy cover?

When you have Renters Contents Insurance and your possessions are damaged, destroyed or stolen, you can claim back some or all of the value with Allianz if the claim is valid.

Your insurance policy covers your possessions in natural, accidental or malicious events, including:

Fire, theft, flood, explosion, storm and lightning
Smoke damage caused by faulty heaters and cooking appliances in your home
Escape of water from any plumbing or heating system, fixed water appliance or domestic appliance
Vandalism or malicious damage
Accidental damage to audio and audio-visual equipment up to €1,300
