Are people regularly damaging their 19" wheels?

Be careful as well as they often don't cover for repair of diamond cut alloys, or will only offer a partial payment.

.....and also some only cover up to 18" wheel.

If you're talking scrapes/scuffs, 19" Prets are going to be no harder (or easier) to kerb than 18" Cadiz. They should be easier to conduct a cosmetic repair as they're painted. My biggest worry on 19" wheels is pothole damage causing buckling or cracks as there's less of a sidewall to absorb an impact - will wheel insurance cover that?

Apparently so monkeyhanger (Hartlepool reference?). I'm even less convinced now of needing it after all the helpful responses. Thanks all!

Watts: Yes, Monkeyhanger is a reference to my place of birth, and not too far away from where I live now.

My sister lives near Stockton so we visit regularly and travel around a bit, lovely part of the country.
