Mobile devices: protect yourself from theft outside your home

Your multimedia equipment (phone, camera, computer, etc.) is part of the furniture and, as such, it is covered against theft in your home under your home insurance policy, or in your vehicle under your car insurance.
But what happens if you are robbed outside your home, on public transport for example?
In this case, specific insurance for multimedia devices can cover your losses, which can quickly leave you thousand euros out of pocket. This very simple insurance allows you to insure all your family's mobile devices against theft and breakage with one single policy. At AXA, your mobile multimedia equipment is covered worldwide.
However, a word to the wise before you take out this kind of cover.
In actual fact, insurers often limit the coverage to characterised theft, i.e. robbery or burglary. So check the conditions carefully to make sure that you are covered in event of snatching or theft without your knowledge.
