Mozo snapshot

You'll find a great deal with either Apia’s standard Home Insurance or Home Extra Insurance if you’re looking for a flexible, comprehensive level of cover at an affordable price. Apia gives you the option to pay your premium on a month-to-month basis at no additional cost and allows you to choose the amount of excess you’ll pay, all the while offering a neat 10% discount for getting a quote online.

Key features

With the standard cover and the higher coverage level (Apia’s Home Extra Insurance), you'll be covered should bushfires, tsunamis, earthquakes, storms or lightning strikes blight your humble abode. But you’re also covered for human-based damage such as vandalism and burglary. 

While both levels cover you in a wide range of situations, it is important to know that if your home is damaged by a power or storm surge then you might not be covered. Read through the PDS before deciding if this is the right policy for you, and remember the Home Insurance and Home Extra Insurance have difference levels of coverage.

It is great knowing your home is covered for damages from such a large scope of events, but let's get down to the details. Beyond the bricks and mortar of your house, Apia also covers you for damage to any outdoor walls, fences and clotheslines. If you’ve recently kitted your home out with solar panels, Apia will cover you for those as well as any water tanks, pools or spas that are fixed to your property. While Home Extra and the standard policy option don't cover you for any buildings that are currently under construction on your property, it will cover building materials when securely stored on the premises.

Aside from the 10% online discount that Apia provides, you will also be able to drive down your premium if you bring over or have any other insurance policies such as health or car insurance with Apia. If you’d like the convenience of having both your home and contents covered by Apia you’ll be rewarded even further with a combined policy discount.

Who is it good for

More mature homeowners across the country who are looking for a comprehensive policy that won’t break the bank should definitely check out Apia’s policies. Across its entire insurance range, Apia recognise customers with a little more life experience deserve some credit and will reward you with a cheaper home insurance premium if you’re over the age of 50.

Any catches

Without any underinsurance protection, you need to make sure your home is insured for its absolute worth. If you’re installing a new spa, extending the balcony or have recently upgraded your fence, make sure you’re updating Apia so you’re not caught short if something was to go wrong.
