Guide to the table

We've provided policy detail and premium summary information for each of our consumer profiles requiring both house and contents insurance. See Consumer profiles for more information.

For a comparison of contents-only policies, see Contents-only policies compared.

Policies

The house policies are based on open-ended replacement cover.

2 ticks = replacement cover; 1 tick = indemnity cover.

Note:
  • AMP, NZI, Lumley and Vero were excluded as they are sold through brokers or other brands rather than directly to the public.
  • FMG and Medical Assurance were excluded as they are only available to people in certain geographical locations or professions.
  • HSBC and Ansvar declined to take part in our survey.
