Family Protection 1 is a simple policy for people starting out.

Family Insurance 1 is a household insurance policy, suitable for people looking for simple and inexpensive coverage. It offers good, basic insurance for your household possessions plus liability insurance, for people who do not need the most comprehensive insurance coverage, accident insurance for leisure activities or travel insurance.

A summary of Family Insurance 1

Our household possessions are often of more value that we realise, and most people need some insurance if they suffer losses, for instance, due to fire or a burglary. Family Insurance 1 is composed of two insurances, household contents insurance and liability insurance. Additional coverage can be added with comprehensive household contents insurance and accident insurance in leisure time.

The policy holder, his or her spouse or cohabiting partner and their unmarried children are all insured, as long as they have the same legal domicile in Iceland, live at that address and are all members of the same household.

Family Insurance 1 may suit persons of seventy years of age and older, and those who want insurance on their household goods and liability insurance but not the most comprehensive coverage, such as accident insurance for leisure or travel insurance.

Included in Family Protection 1

Household contents insurance

Pays compensation for damage to household moveable goods. To put it simply, household contents include those items in your home that you take with you when you change your residence, such as furniture and clothing, but not things you would leave behind, such as floor coverings or built-in cabinets.

What does the insurance cover?
Close
  • Damage to household items due to a fire, as when furniture is damaged in a house fire.
  • Damage to property that is stolen in a break-in, such as stolen jewelry, computers or television.
  • Theft of a locked bicycle.
  • Water damage to household items, such as furniture sustaining damage from a pipe that breaks and leaks.
  • Damage due to inclement weather, such as part of a roof torn off by wind or furniture damage by water that gets into the home during a storm.

This is not a full list of what is covered. Please familiarize yourself with the insurance policy.

What is excluded?
Close

  • Damage to that which is part of the property itself, such as flooring or doors damaged in a fire.
  • Items stolen from an apartment that has been left unlocked.
  • Items stolen from bars and nightclubs, such as mobile phones left on a table. 
  • Items stolen from unlocked cars, such as a laptop computer
  • Damage to items resulting from a leak from outside the property such as a cracked wall or water that seeps in along a window. 

This is not a full list. Please familiarize yourself with the insurance policy.

Liability insurance

Liability insurance pays for damages to other parties for which the insured are considered responsible under Icelandic law.

You can add supplementary coverage to Family Insurance 1

If you want to add additional coverage to Family Insurance 1, you can also include accident insurance for leisure activities or comprehensive household contents insurance.* If you want both leisure accident and comprehensive household contents insurance, we recommend Family Insurance 2.

*Adding onto your insurance will change the final price.

Leisure Time Accident Insurance

Pays compensation for accidents during leisure time, while doing domestic work, during studies or general sports activities.

The insurance covers
Close
  • Death benefits following an accident during leisure time.
  • Disability benefits  following an accident during leisure time
  • Daily stipends following an accident during leisure time
  • Dental fractures following an accident during leisure time
What is not covered?
Close
  • Injury sustained in an accident that occurs during practice or competing in sports, except for children under the age of 16.
  • Illness from a disease
  • Injury sustained during mountain-climbing or diving
  • Accidents that happen on the way to or from work (these are covered in worker's accident insurance).

Comprehensive Household Contents Insurance

Provides more extensive coverage of household contents than general household contents insurance. The coverage includes those items covered by household contents insurance, such as phones, computers or furniture.

The insurance policy covers
Close
  • The most common claim is damage to mobile phones and laptop computers.
The insurance does not cover
Close
  • Damage to mobile phones that are put into washing machines.
  • Damage to mobile phones from water.

What affects the premium you pay?

The premium for Family Insurance depends on how high the coverage is you choose, and whether you decide to add comprehensive household contents insurance or leisure time accident insurance. Our consultants will provide you with all the information on the premium and the amount of the deductible.

Customers in Sjóvá's Stofn loyalty programme receive a discount on their premium and customers who have not submitted claims and make their payments on time also receive a Stofn Rebate on their premium.

Other suggested insurance

Family protection is for your household possessions, but if you need to insure your property itself, we have the Mandatory fire insurance and the Real estate insurance

Fire Insurance

Fire insurance is a mandatory insurance that compensates for damage to a property due to fire, lightning, explosion, soot from house-warming equipment or fireplaces, and damage due to fire-rescue operations.
