Qantas might be best known for flying Aussies across the globe, but they’ve also got their feet on the ground when it comes to home insurance.

Offering building (or ‘home’) insurance, contents insurance, and a combined home and contents policy, Qantas Home Insurance is designed for Australian homeowners who want reliable coverage with flexible options. Essentials like fire, theft, and storm damage are all covered, and there’s the added bonus of earning Qantas Points on your premiums and wellbeing activities—so you get a little something back just for protecting your home.

Whether you’re here for the points or just solid, dependable coverage, Qantas gives you options worth considering.

  • No replacement of documents, so important paperwork won’t be covered

Our verdict

Qantas Home Insurance offers strong, flexible coverage that holds its own in the marketplace, with standard features you’d expect, like fire, theft, and storm protection. We like its optional underinsurance coverage, which provides up to 25% beyond your home’s insured sum if needed. While some competitors offer a 30% cap, the difference is generally minor unless you have a high-value property or expect major fluctuations in building costs.

Qantas also performs well in some finer details. For instance, it provides above average cover for software and electronic files (up to $3,000), though lock replacement is capped at $1,000, which is slightly below average. The policy also covers garden borders, pathways, and paved areas—benefits that not all insurers include, so this could be a plus for homeowners with outdoor enhancements.

Overall, Qantas Home Insurance is a solid and flexible choice. Just be sure to check specific coverage limits and options to see if they align with your needs. Flood cover is optional, so if you’re in a flood zone, remember to tick that box. And for those who enjoy earning rewards, the added Qantas Points make this policy even more appealing.

Qantas Home Insurance FAQs

What is Qantas’ underinsurance protection?

Qantas offers optional underinsurance protection, covering up to 25% beyond your building’s insured sum - something not all providers will offer. This feature can help with additional rebuild costs if your insured amount falls short. While some providers cap underinsurance at 30%, the difference is usually minor unless you own a high-value property or expect significant cost fluctuations.

Is there a cooling-off period for Qantas Home Insurance?

Yes, Qantas Home Insurance includes a 21-day cooling-off period. If you decide to cancel within 21 days of purchasing or renewing the policy (and you haven’t made a claim), you’ll receive a full refund of any premiums paid.

What is the excess on a Qantas Home Insurance policy?

Qantas offers a flexible excess range of $100-$5,000, allowing you to select an amount that balances your premium with potential out-of-pocket costs at claim time. This flexibility can be helpful if you want to adjust for lower upfront costs or reduced expenses during a claim.

Does Qantas offer landlord insurance?

While Qantas doesn’t offer standalone landlord insurance, you can add tenant default, tenant theft, and malicious tenant damage cover to your building policy as optional extras.

Does Qantas offer renters insurance?

There’s really no difference between renter’s insurance and content’s insurance besides clever marketing, so if you’re a renter, Qantas’ contents insurance policy should suit you just fine provided you’re happy with the policy details.

How do I make a claim with Qantas Home Insurance?

To make a claim, you can visit the Qantas Insurance claims portal or call their claims support line at 13 49 60. Be sure to have your incident details, photos, and other supporting documents ready for a quicker process.
