What level of cover is right for me?

There are two different levels of cover which allow you to tailor your policy to you and your home. Both of these levels offer combined buildings and contents cover which helps protect your home and your belongings, all in one place.  

If you don’t need combined building and contents cover, you can also select buildings only cover or contents only cover.

Buildings only insurance covers the costs of repairing damage or rebuilding the structure of your home. Contents only cover protects the personal belongings in your home from things such as fire, theft, flood, loss or damage.
