Where do you use your iPad? If you take your iPad out of the house, it’s important to make sure that it’s covered for theft. If you take it on holiday, a worldwide policy gives you up to 90 days of overseas protection 

Are you accident prone? Accidental damage covers things like cracked screens, drops and liquid damage. Most policies include this as standard

Do you lose things easily? Most insurers charge more to add loss cover. Think about paying higher premiums if you have a habit of losing your gadgets

Do you use your iPad for work? You may not be covered by a standard gadget policy if you use your iPad for work. Compare business gadget insurance instead

How long could you go without your iPad? Sometimes an iPad can take weeks to repair. Look for an insurer that lets you get your iPad fixed at your nearest Apple store to save time

Home insurance: your contents cover may protect your iPad against theft or accidental damage at home. However, mechanical breakdown isn’t covered

Travel insurance: this could protect your iPad if you take it on holiday, but check to see if your policy’s limit for gadget claims is enough to pay for a replacement

Apple warranty: if your iPad is still under warranty, it’s covered for mechanical breakdowns or faults. However, a warranty won’t cover accidental damage, loss or theft

The maximum cover: this should be no less than the cost of your iPad

The excess: beware of £0 excesses because they could increase the cost of your policy’s premiums

The monthly cost: look for the cheapest policy that offers what you need
