UK (PRWEB UK) 22 September 2014 -- Moneymaxim today re-launch the latest version of their popular mobile phone and gadget insurance comparison service. The new service offers:

  • The ability to compare insurance for both single and multiple gadgets
  • Automatic calculation of the total cost including discounts for insuring more than one item
  • Ability to tailored results to focus on features such as loss or accidental damage cover
  • Filters so families can find policies providing cover for gadgets used by children
  • Cover for both new devices and insurance from a later date, perhaps to replace existing arrangements

Coinciding with the launch of the iPhone 6 and Apple Watch, the new service has reacted to developments in the market that reflect the changing lifestyles of the average UK household.

Whereas just a couple of years ago most gadget insurance buyers wanted cover for an individual phone or laptop nowadays many Moneymaxim users are looking to insure a range of products from the latest smart phone to their tablet, games console, headphones and laptop. To accommodate this Moneymaxim have totally redesigned their search engine.

Now users can select either single items or input details of a number of different devices, and the Moneymaxim service will identify policies that with cover the basket of products. Results will be displayed for both ‘multiple gadget’ policies (typically covering 3 or 5 items) owned within a household or individual policies.

The service has also been developed with families in mind. Filters allow parents to find policies which cover smartphones are now used by younger members of the family. As many insurers only cover use by those over 18’s this feature can save much time spent in researching inappropriate products.

Mark Bower, Managing Director of Moneymaxim, said: “We have designed our new mobile phone insurance comparison service (which also covers most other battery powered gadgets) to meet the demands of today’s gadget owner. Nowadays it is not unusual for an individual to walking the streets with devices approaching £1000 on their person. And when you consider all the items owned within a family that figure can multiply fast."

"We have retained key elements of our service, such as our insistence that all insurers are backed by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, reassurance that comes into sharp focus this week with the unfortunate demise of Phones4u. With policies covering up to 5 gadgets starting at under £55 we can display policies that will cover a whole family’s devices for less than the cost of covering a single handset through a high street retailer.”
