Mozo snapshot

This new tech-led insurance company focuses on damage prevention as well as broad policy coverage to deliver more tailored, affordable home insurance to Aussie homeowners. With honey, you’ll be rewarded for using smart sensors which aim to prevent disasters and accidents in the home, and satellite data will be used to ensure your home is insured for its full value.

Key features

When you take out a home and contents insurance policy with honey, you’ll be sent smart sensors which are used as a home monitoring system to alert you to water leakages, fire, changes in temperature and unusual activity (like someone breaking into the property). 

If the sensors detect any of these events, an alert will be sent to your connected smartphone via an app, so you can check in on your home and take appropriate action to avoid damage or theft. Because honey sees this as an opportunity to protect your property and reduce the likelihood of you making a claim, they’ll give policyholders who install the sensors an 8% premium discount every year. 

Honey is also trying to combat underinsurance by using satellite data to monitor for any additions to the structure of your home. This way, if you put in a pool or build an extension and forget to mention it to honey, they’ll be able to spot it on satellite and get in touch to amend your policy so your property is covered to its full value. 

While further underinsurance protection isn’t included in the policy and there aren’t any buy online or combined policy discounts, there are some generous inclusions. Your home office will be covered for up to $20,000 and trade tools for up to $2,000, making this policy ideal for those working from home. Plants as a part of your landscaping are also insured for up to $1,000, as is half the cost of replacing up to 2km of fencing.

You’ll get to choose your excess with honey, with the basic excess starting at $500. Just remember, while opting for a higher excess could help reduce your premium, you’ll have to pay more at claim time before your coverage kicks in if you take this route.

Who is it good for

Any catches
