iPad Pro and Applecare+
I have just bought my grandson an iPad Pro to take to University next year. Ordinarily I don't take out any insurance on my Apple purchases but in this instance I would like to do so. However, looking at the T's & C's it only covers accidental damage, not loss or theft. Is there a better alternative ?

Put it on your household insurance.

As above, any household insurance will cover you. |

Chances are your household insurer won't cover it as they have no insurable interest given it's your grandson's and he's not living with you. Tell him either to take good care of it or arrange his own insurance through Endsleigh or similar.

He does take good care of things, but accidents can happen to anyone. If there's no obvious alternative I will take out AppleCare +. |

I just want to give my Grandson peace of mind that if he breaks it it won't cost me anything. I wouldn't bother if it was mine as I can afford to underwrite any loss. |

Ended up taking out Applecare +. One thing I find curious is that the price is the same whether you are insuring a £400 iPad or an £800 one.

One halls of residence I stayed in had contents insurance included in the rent, you could also extend this if you needed more cover over what the policy included. If your grandson is staying in halls he may have similar. Or as said, be able to get student content insurance through someone like Endsleigh if this isn't included or if he is in private accommodation.

He doesn't go until next September
Edit, sorry I didn't read the whole thread earlier. I see you have already taken out Apple care. |
