Building and Contents Insurance

Insure your home inside and out for loss or damage caused by one or more of 11 insured events.

Allianz Building and Contents Insurance

Get cover for your home buildings and your contents by combining buildings and contents covers on the one policy.

 

If you take both Building and Contents insurance, here's how they can work together if the unexpected occurs:

  • Your house burns down. You could lose all your buildings, and everything in them. With adequate sums insured under Buildings and Contents cover, you could rebuild and replace your insured belongings.
  • A fire damages your kitchen. You could repair or rebuild built-in damaged parts of your kitchen, such as benchtops, with Buildings cover. Then you could replace damaged items like blinds and kitchenware under your Contents cover.
  • A thief smashes your window, breaks the lock and steals your belongings. You can fix the window and lock through your Buildings cover and replace the items that were stolen under your Contents cover.
Plus, you will only have to pay the applicable excess(es) once in respect of any single claim if your buildings and contents are damaged by the same insured event.
  • Save up to 10% on your first year's premium when you quote and buy a new policy online1,3
  • Combine your building and contents cover to receive up to 10% discount on your premium2,3
  • Pay by the month at no extra cost4.
