Criminals don’t go on Holiday
Make sure that your home is properly covered while you are away on holiday:
- Know that your home contents policy may have a limit on how much you can claim for lost items. Understand the limit and consider increasing it before going on holiday
- Check and test that your home alarm system works properly
- Ask a friend or relative to housesit
- Don’t overshare your whereabouts on social media as criminals can track that you’re not at home, and target your house
- Before leasing or renting out your home as an AirBnB over the festive season, check that you have the right insurance to cover your risks
- Save important numbers on your cell phone including emergency numbers and Thaba Bosiu Risk Solutions’ numbers
Personal Belongings
- The risks for your personal items such as jewellery, laptops, tablets, phones, and cameras increase when you’re travelling
- Understand the conditions and exclusions contained in your policy. i.e., most policies require that jewellery and other high-value items be kept in a safe while not being worn or used
- Understand the value of your personal items in case they get lost or are stolen
- If you’re travelling outside Lesotho, understand your destination risks and insure yourself appropriately
