Garden insurance

Why you might consider garden insurance cover

• Your garden is a vulnerable area of your home. The Office for National statistics recorded that in 2015-2016, garden furniture was stolen in 44% of all thefts outside a dwelling – making it the most commonly taken item in that category.
• The contents of your shed and garage, such as lawnmowers and tools, could be worth more than you think and may not be covered by your existing home insurance.
• We offer plant insurance and tree insurance – should your greenery be damaged by vandalism, or stolen.

How Hiscox Contents Insurance covers your garden

• We'll pay up to £10,000 for garden furniture and outdoor equipment left outside.
• We'll also pay up to £10,000 for theft of contents from outbuildings, sheds or garages.

How Hiscox Buildings Insurance covers your garden

• We'll restore loss or damage to your garden, including fly tipping, up to £25,000.
• We cover physical loss or damage to fences, apart from loss or damage caused by falling trees, storm or flood.
• We'll pay up to £1,000 for any one tree or shrub.

If you suffer a loss from your garden, garage or outbuildings, simply call our award-winning claims team. If we can't settle your claim immediately, we'll assign a dedicated claims handler to your case who will manage your claim from start to finish.
