laptop insurance without receipt

[mkjuk]

I am thinking of taking my laptop away on holiday on Sunday and want to get travel insurance to cover any problems i might have with it getting damaged in transit etc

however i don't have a receipt for the laptop. Can anyone recommend a policy where i will still be covered?

Thanks a lot in advance

why would it get damaged,take it on the plane with you,its allowed,me thinks your trying to con someone.

er - the whole point of insurance is to protect against the unexpected

MKJUK we ask questions like that when you are trying to accidently drop or lose it lol? if thats the case you shouldn't ask it on here

[NORMANTHEDOG]

normal travel insurance should cover,laptops,cameras,etc.and by the way they will know how much it cost you,as they have lists and lists of prices of everything.

right can i just state here and now that in no way am i trying to make a false claim

I just want to insure the laptop for my trip but at the same time am worried that i don't have a receipt. i know the model number etc and value of the machine. I just want to be sure that should i need to make a claim the lack of receipt wouldnt be a problem

any guidance gratefully received

Make a written note of the make, model and serial number of the laptop and keep it safe at home.

Take photos of the laptop - on / off; open / closed, front and back etc. Take very good photos of the labels on the bottom of the laptop.

This should be sufficient to support your claim.

I've used www.laptopinsurance.org.uk before for insuring my laptop to take abroad on business. I think you may need a recept though with whoever you go with though.
