Uncomplicated contents insurance.
Confidence countrywide
With our contents insurance you can be confident that what you've insured is protected anywhere in New Zealand. You can claim for a single item like a broken camera or a lost necklace, or if something like a burglary occurs, you can make a claim for everything that was stolen.
What you need to know about getting covered with us
- Our contents insurance is flexible your sum insured can start from as little as $10,000.
- With our one event – one excess benefit, you'll only pay one excess if you suffer a loss from the same event to your contents and another Trade Me insurance policy.
- The amount you pay for your insurance is influenced by your 'excess' - the money you contribute towards your claim. A larger excess means a smaller premium, and vice versa.
