Our verdict

Pros

  • Allianz won a range of Finder's customer satisfaction awards all across Australia because it was so highly rated by its own customers.
  • There are a range of excess options on offer so you can find something that suits your budget.
  • Allianz's home and contents insurance covers up to $7,500 for jewellery — this is higher than many other insurers.

Cons

  • Allianz does not offer underinsurance protection — this is an optional benefit for many other providers.
  • It does not offer a full building replacement option — this is important to some homeowners.
  • Its cooling off period is just 14 days — other insurers have cooling off periods of 21 days and longer.

Features

Allianz Home and Contents insurance includes higher benefit limits than other home insurance providers for some features, like jewellery and tools of trade. However, it also lacks other benefits like underinsurance protection and full building replacement which can be valuable features for many homeowners.

From 9 November 2024, any Allianz home insurance policies that have been purchased and have a start date from 14 January 2025 will include flood cover. If you purchase a policy and have a start date before 14 January 2025, flood cover will remain an optional extra.

    Hello we have a house in Moorina Qld Australia that we would like to insure. Our son is currently living there and the home was built around 1980 and is brick veneer. There is also an NBN tower on the property which the land is leased. The property is 9 acres. The tower is about 80 metres from the house and we require it to be covered under the legal liability. Can you do this, and how much?

      Hi Sally,

      Thanks for contacting Finder.

      I understand you are requesting for a home insurance quote from Allianz. Just to clarify that we are not affliated with Allianz so I suggest you call them directly to discuss which is the best home insurance policy for your house in Moorina Qld.

      Kind Regards,
      Faye
