Here's what you need to know about getting covered with us. Our house insurance is flexible to cover extras like sleepouts, retaining walls and swimming pools.

The amount you pay for your insurance is influenced by your 'excess' - the money you contribute towards your claim. A larger excess means a smaller premium, and vice versa.

We provide cover for unexpected events.
