For  a comparison of house and contents insurance, see House and contents policies compared.

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. 
  • Ansvar and HSBC declined to take part in our survey.
