The most important rule when looking to buy cheap student insurance is to shop around. The more you shop around the higher chance you will have of finding the budget price you require.
The best places to find insurance companies for students is on the Internet and via your University - either by asking fellow students or at the Student's Union.
As well as getting quotes from general insurance companies, there are some that specialise in insurance for students and are worth checking out. Get a number of quotes so that you can compare prices.
Make sure you get enough cover for all of your possessions and remember that you may also need car insurance, bicycle insurance and mobile phone insurance. You may be able to negotiate a discount if you buy all from the same insurers.
