Home Contents Insurance protects the value of all the things in your home that you love, and it provides coverage for the people living there
Home Contents Insurance Insurance is for everybody living in a home, whether it is a rented or an owned property
Majority of residents in Qatar live in rented apartments or homes, which are typically insured by the landlord
What most of us are not aware of is that the contents of our home are not insured by the landlord’s insurance, nor is your maid and her liabilities
We’ll cover it if you, a family member, or a guest accidentally damages or destroys your valuables and possessions
If you’re unable to live in your home due to the damage caused by accidental fire, flood or any causes not excluded in the policy, we will cover the additional expenses for an alternative accommodation during the repairing period
If your watch or jewellery is damaged or stolen outside your home, then we will cover that, too! While traveling, your home insurance will also cover specific valuables which are not covered by standard travel insurance
Without the Home Contents Insurance, you would not be compensated for the loss or damage of your valuables if there is an attempt of theft or an accident in your home
Without the Home Contents Insurance, you would have to pay for accidental damages caused to your landlord’s furniture
Without the Home Contents Insurance, you would have to compensate your maid / her family if she dies or gets full or partial disabled while working for you
Our Home Contents Insurance has been designed to provide you with a feeling of security and peace of mind and covers you for damage or loss of your belongings, all at a very affordable price
We offer both building and contents insurance policies. In addition to our standard cover, we provide optional policy features, which you can add to your standard policy for a small fee. This way you can tailor the cover to suit your budget and needs
Please refer to policy wordings for correct and detailed descriptions of covers and limits
The Basic Insurance cover starts at QR 450:- and provides cover for all your personal contents except the building value
