Tailored cover for valuable items

A gadget insurance policy that fits your lifestyle

Proof of ownership and why it matters

Clear evidence helps your gadget insurance work quickly. Keep receipts or invoices, photos and serial numbers. For mobile phones you may be asked for the IMEI. This supports claims for loss, theft and accidental damage and keeps valuations accurate.

Why generic home cover can fall short for gadgets

Many home insurance policies use low sub-limits for electronic devices away from home or in transit. That can leave mobile phones and other valuable electronic devices underinsured.

Standard mobile phone insurance can also have tight limits such as device age restrictions, loss cover exclusions and per device excesses.

With rivr your gadgets sit under contents with worldwide cover and clear terms.

Tech moves and risks move with it

Your devices travel between home, office and trips. Our gadget cover follows you with loss, theft and accidental damage covered worldwide, subject to your schedule and exclusions.

Cover that scales as your tech evolves

You can add more than one gadget under one policy. New purchases are covered automatically for 60 days so you can update your schedule and keep sums insured aligned.

Simple claims and clear outcomes

If you make a claim our UK team will confirm eligibility and arrange repair or replacement where appropriate. Your schedule shows how much excess applies.
