Read the conditions of cover, are you covered for accidents to 3rd parties who could put in a claim against you. If the cover is from a Cape Verde Insurance cover, is the info in Portuguese and English or a language you can understand to make sure it's the right type of cover for your needs?

Are you covered for breaks-ins, stolen items, damage to furniture, water leaks, accidents in the home etc.etc?
