Deciding on the Best Laptop Insurance in Singapore

What is the best laptop insurance?

That is a question that is a little easier to ask than to answer.



The problem is that so much depends upon your individual circumstances such as how old your laptop is, how much it is worth, how often you use it and what sort of risks you face in your day-to-day usage.

The obvious answer then to the question of what is the best laptop insurance is that only you can say because what is best for someone else may well not be the best for you.

Perhaps it is worth thinking about a couple of examples to illustrate this.

If you are a businessperson that travels overseas regularly, then your laptop may be virtually indispensable. Leaving it behind in the SG may be inconceivable but that is exactly what you may need to think about doing if your existing laptop insurance policy does not cover use outside of the SG.

As another examples, some policies may not cover liquid damage. However, that is something that you may find to be unacceptably restrictive and not in line with your expectations of what laptop insurance should provide.

Some people may also be inclined to think that the best laptop cover is automatically that which is the cheapest. Once again, that position may be difficult so substantiate because it does not take into account what cover the policy is actually providing.

So, one policy may be offering a guaranteed 48-hour replacement of your laptop following approval of your claim. That may be exactly the sort of service you expect to minimise the disruption you incur and you may not be willing to consider another policy not providing this to be 'better' simply because it cost a little less.

Of course, as with any insurance product, terms and conditions, exclusions and limitations will apply and you may wish to read these carefully to ensure you understand them. That is part of deciding what is the most suitable cover for your individual situation.

There is, therefore, no obvious answer to the question of what is the best laptop insurance. It is a very personal thing.
