    What's covered.

    Choose from three cover options, so you only pay for the level of cover that suits your needs and budget. 

    Premium cover:  Our highest level of cover, with higher limits for everyday essentials like mobiles and prescription glasses. It’s designed for customers who want broader cover and fewer compromises.

    Plus cover:  A step up from standard cover, with higher limits for items you use often. It suits people who want more cover without paying for top‑tier limits. 

    Standard cover:  Simple, affordable cover for life’s essentials, with set limits for items like mobile phones and prescription glasses to help keep costs down.

    Calculate your sum insured.

    The sum insured is the maximum amount your insurance policy will pay out if your claim for a total loss is accepted. Tower’s helpful calculator makes it easy to estimate the sum insured for your belongings and gives you a figure to start with so you can work out the amount of cover you need. This can be helpful especially if you’re organising insurance for the first time or reviewing your cover.
