Cheap contents insurance

Your household contents consist of many different items with different values. Over the years you buy, and also get, more and more stuff. Your contents probably include valuables. These items can be damaged in many different ways. For example, by fire, burglary, water, storm or lightning. If your contents are already damaged, you are not at all looking forward to the extra costs involved. A good contents insurance can be the solution for you. Since life is already expensive enough, you don't want to overpay for contents insurance. Fortunately, good contents insurance doesn't have to cost you too much money. But what should you look for when buying a cheap contents insurance policy? In this article, we'll go into that in more detail.

Contents insurance premium relative to benefit

If you were to calculate what you would lose in premium relative to the benefit you would receive in the event of a claim, the premium is negligible. In the event of substantial damage, the cost can quickly add up. If you pay €12 a month in premium, that's €144 a year. That amount is negligible when compared to the actual value of your household contents.

Cheap does not have to be expensive. If you pay close attention when comparing different home contents insurances, you can be cheap and not end up with unforeseen costs afterwards. Important when buying home contents insurance;

That you know well what you want to insure. Your requirements and wishes play an important role in this. Make sure you figure this out well before you purchase contents insurance.

The standard premium is built up based on a number of factors. These include the value of your belongings, your place of residence, the type of house you live in, any preventive measures (such as an alarm or Politiekeurmerk Veilig Wonen), the coverage you want, your claim history and whether you want a guarantee against underinsurance. If you live in Amsterdam, the premium will be higher than if you live in a small village in Drenthe. This is because the risk of burglary is much higher in Amsterdam. In addition, the premium consists of your specified wishes and requirements.

Over- or underinsuring your household contents

You may have underinsured or overinsured your household contents. This means that you have under- or over-estimated the value of your household contents. If you are underinsured, the insurer will often only pay out the maximum amount for which you are insured. You have to pay the rest yourself.

You can prevent this by filling in the household effects value meter. This way you get a better estimate of the value of your household contents and you will not be confronted with unpleasant surprises afterwards. The value meter can also be useful to prevent overinsurance. This way you do not pay too much for your home contents insurance.
