What is Full Accidental Damage Cover?

Accidental Damage is a type of insurance cover that protects against unexpected accidents to your home or contents. It’s an optional extra that you can add to your home insurance.

Repairing or replacing damaged items can be expensive, and without Full Accidental Damage Cover, you might have to pay the costs out of your own pocket.
