Posessions Insurance

Didn't really know where to ask about this, so I thought I'd give this forum a go. I'm renting accomodation in Dublin, and I want to take out insurance on my own possessions, which is basicly just my clothes, my PC, my violin and my MP3 player.

I'm renting accomodation in Dublin, and I want to take out insurance on my own possessions, which is basicly just my clothes, my PC, my violin and my MP3 player. I want to just insure these, which is only a few thousand euros, but all the insurance companies I've phoned, such as axa, only offer policies that start at E20,000

Any suggestions on companies that offer this?

Oops, I meant by policies that start at E20000, as in the amount of posessions that will be insured.

You'd be surprised. Clothes will cost a lot more to replace than you initially think, especially things like suits, coats and shoes. I've got several thousand's worth of CDs and DVDs and I don't have a particularly big collection. Jewelry, passports, licences, documents - there's a lot to replace if there's a fire.
How much does the 20k of cover cost?

Yeah, but sadly that doesn't answer my question. I'm really looking for someone that's the equivalent of Endsleigh in the UK.
