Our verdict

Pros

  • Save 15% on your first year's premium when you buy online.
  • Cover is highly customisable, with lots of optional benefits.
  • Manage your policy online, 24/7 via the Virgin Insurance Hub.

Cons

  • There's no sum insured safeguard available despite many other brands offering it.
  • Loss of rent is only covered up to 10% of your sum insured, but QBE offers up to 20%.
  • You'll have to pay extra if you want to pay your premiums monthly.

Features

Virgin Money offers competitively-priced cover, but its policies are not as comprehensive as some other landlord insurance brands. However, landlords are able to opt in or out from many benefits, giving a greater level of customisation compared to many other brands.
