GadgetRank is adding gadget insurance as a new comparison category. Right now we partner with one provider, Bimpy — we'll add more insurers here as we bring them on, so you can compare across providers the same way you do for recycling and SIM deals.
Core protection for everyday accidents and theft.
Everything in Essential, plus cover for loss.
Established in 2011, Bimpy provides mobile phone and tablet insurance, covering brand-new and refurbished devices up to 36 months old. Cover starts instantly, and any immediate family member using the device is also covered.

Most people insure a phone through their network provider or a high street chain without checking the price elsewhere first — and it usually costs them. Dedicated gadget insurers like Bimpy typically charge 30-50% less than traditional insurers for the same core cover, because they specialise in one thing rather than bundling it alongside broader home or contents policies.
The cover itself matters as much as the price. Look for protection against theft, accidental damage and liquid damage as standard — these are the three most common claims. Loss cover is worth checking separately, since not every policy includes it by default (Bimpy's Essential plan doesn't, Full Cover does).
If you've recently bought a refurbished phone through GadgetRank's refurbished comparison, insuring it properly protects that investment — refurbished devices are covered the same as new ones, provided they're under 36 months old.
Phone and tablet insurance starts from around £4 a month with Bimpy, typically 30-50% cheaper than traditional high street insurers. The exact price depends on your device model and value.
Essential Cover includes theft, accidental damage, liquid damage, unauthorised use up to £1,000, and worldwide use for up to 90 days a year. Full Cover adds protection against loss on top of everything in Essential.
