Personal belongings are anything that you own that you could pack in a bag or take in a moving van with you. For example, your clothes, laptop, cellphone, refrigerator etc., are all things included in your personal belongings coverage. When you set up your policy, you have the option to set your coverage limit for your personal belongings, based on approximately how much your stuff is worth.

If you have fancier items, like expensive jewellery or silverware, consider whether their cost would be within your overall personal belongings limit. If not, you can either increase your overall limit or add these items separately to your policy. They’ll be covered by their own limit(s) and have no deductible.
