We haven’t had much to do with our home insurance. It was just one we were suggested when we got a home loan so don’t really have a review about them as of yet. But when I’ve had to call them I’ve never had to wait to long to speak to some one and they were always able to help with the enquiry

Quality over price

Had had CGU insurance for years, yes more expensive however more coverage and claim process is great. Wouldn’t feel comfortable going for a cheaper cover as wouldn’t be confident I had enough coverage

CGU Home & Contents Insurance
Overall 8/10
Professional insurance company with great service.

I have been with CGU for several years now and have had the bad luck of making a claim. Upon making contact and explaining what had happened I was emailed the claims form, filled it out and posted to them with the repairer's name and details. Within weeks I had approval to purchase a replacement TV minus the excess fee. CGU answered any questions I had along the way and everything was handled professionally. The excess fee was inline with other insurance company's. I was happy with the service I received from CGU.
