Our verdict

Pros

  • ALDI's home and contents policy includes a few benefits as standard that would come at an additional cost for some other insurers, like jewelry and tools of trade cover.
  • It has a higher benefit limit than other popular insurers for home office contents.
  • Optional use of smart sensors in the home means that avoidable damage can be prevented, which also leads to a cheaper premium.

Cons

  • ALDI does not offer any underinsurance protection.
  • It's new to market so we don't have any independent reviews to know how ALDI treats its customers.

How does ALDI compare to other home insurance providers?

ALDI's home and content insurance policy stacks up well next to other insurers. It includes cover for jewelry and tools of trade (limits apply to both) as standard. Other insurers list these benefits as optional extras that come at an additional cost.
