If the value of the stolen item exceeds your deductible, your insurer can help reimburse you up to your coverage limit. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-does-insurance-cover-theft-outside-the-home\">Does insurance cover theft outside the home?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, insurance can cover theft that happens outside of your home, thanks to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youset.ca\/en\/blog\/what-is-contents-insurance-in-canada\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contents insurance<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (also known as personal belongings coverage). This coverage is designed to protect your stuff, including your phone, laptop, clothes, and other personal items, and is automatically included when you buy home, tenant, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youset.ca\/en\/condo-insurance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">condo insurance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The important thing is that this coverage usually isn\u2019t limited to your home. It often protects your belongings wherever you take them. For example, if your phone gets stolen at the gym or your laptop goes missing from your hotel room.\u00a0<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As long as the stolen items\u2019 value <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youset.ca\/en\/blog\/high-or-low-insurance-deductible\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">exceeds your deductible<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (the amount you pay when filing a claim), your insurance may be able to help cover the loss, up to your policy\u2019s limits. You\u2019ll find the details about this in the property damage and theft section of your policy.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bear in mind that theft occurring outside your home often comes with specific terms, conditions, and limits that may differ from those for theft inside your home.

For example, if your policy includes $50,000 in personal belongings coverage, theft outside the home may only be covered up to 10%, or $5,000.\u00a0<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On top of that, sub-limits often apply to high-value items like jewelry, electronics, bikes, and sports gear. If these are worth more than your policy allows, consider <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youset.ca\/en\/blog\/what-is-floater-insurance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">purchasing additional insurance<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for extra protection.\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll also need to pay your deductible before getting reimbursed. However, if your deductible is $500 and your stolen item is worth $300, you likely wouldn\u2019t file a claim and would simply cover the $300 yourself without involving insurance.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And finally, insurers expect you to take reasonable precautions. For example, if items are stolen from a car without functioning locks or an unlocked hotel room, it will likely affect the outcome of your claim.<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-questions-to-ask-before-you-file-a-claim-for-theft-outside-the-home\">5 questions to ask before you file a claim for theft outside the home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youset.ca\/en\/claims\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">filing a claim<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for something stolen outside your home, ask yourself the following questions:<\/span><i><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Can I afford to replace it myself? <\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the item was inexpensive or easy to replace, it might not be worth filing a claim.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What\u2019s my deductible? <\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the cost to replace the item is less than your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youset.ca\/en\/blog\/high-or-low-insurance-deductible\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">deductible<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you won\u2019t involve insurance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How much coverage do I have for theft outside the home? <\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your insurance documents to see if your policy includes a sub-limit specifically for theft outside the home.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Could a claim cause my premium to go up next year?
