Graduates with Free Home Content insurance

– keep your free Home Contents Insurance for a year after your graduation

Due to recent changes made by the government that puts students and graduates in a tighter spot financially, IDA has decided that we will counter by prolonging the free Home Contentes insurance for recent graduates up to a year. This means, that if you get the Home Contents insurance while you enrolled and active in a study, it will remain free for a year after graduation.
