Frequently asked questions

Is my laptop covered by household contents insurance?
Only inside the home, and usually only for listed perils like burglary with forced entry. The moment you carry it to a coffee shop or client site you need portable possessions or standalone laptop cover.
How much is laptop insurance in South Africa?
Expect roughly R120 to R350 a month for a machine valued between R15,000 and R45,000, depending on whether theft from a vehicle and worldwide cover are included.
Does laptop insurance cover liquid damage?
Accidental liquid damage is covered on most comprehensive policies, though some insurers apply a higher excess for it than for drops or cracked screens.
Can I claim for a laptop stolen from my car?
Usually yes, but almost every SA insurer requires the vehicle to have been locked and shows signs of forced entry, and many exclude items left visible on a seat.
