Home & Contents Insurance Features and Benefits

We offer 2 levels of cover so you can choose the one that best suits your needs:

Home Elite Insurance

Comprehensive protection with broad cover and higher benefit levels.

Accidents do happen. That's why our Home Elite Insurance gives you cover against accidental damage as well as a host of other additional covers for your home. It is a more complete cover, for homeowners who want to leave nothing to chance.

Home Essential Insurance

A quality product for those who want the essential covers.

For those who just want the essentials we can give you just what you need without the extras on top.

Here's a rundown of the two cover options and the protection they can give your home & contents.
