Most customers choose our Maxi Contents policy, because it offers replacement (or 'as new') cover on almost all of your contents, plus a range of additional benefits, up to the sum insured that you choose.
But there are a few items where your insurance is limited to a dollar amount unless you've specified them for more (like jewellery, bicycles and photographic equipment). Older or lower value contents (like portable electronics over 3 years old and clothing or books regardless of age) will be covered for indemnity (or 'as is') cover.
Our Flexi cover is a more affordable, and flexible, option. Rather than providing cover for any accidental loss or damage, your contents are covered while in your home for damage caused by specific events including natural disasters, fire, theft or flooding.
If you have our flexi policy, most of your contents are covered for indemnity (or 'as is') value. You can choose to add optional cover for general accidental damage, cover anywhere in New Zealand or replacement value if you need it.

Up to 10% off by combining house and contents
You may be eligible for a discount of up to 10% if you insure two or more qualifying assets through the same brokerage. Please speak to your broker or to us for further details as eligibility criteria apply.
Covering high value items
Contents policies have limits on the amount you can claim on particular items. To make sure your valuable items which have higher values than the limits stated in the policy wording are covered, you’ll need to specify them when talking out the policy. Talk to your adviser about this.
