Our Verdict

Pros

  • Coles has an option to add tenant default protection for loss of rent.
  • If you connect your Flybuys account then you can collect double Flybuys for the lifetime of your policy. A max cap applies.
  • You can save 15% on your first year's premium when you buy online.

Cons

  • It'll cost you extra to pay your premiums monthly or fortnightly. It's free to do this with many other insurers.
  • If you wish to cancel your policy early then you may have to pay a $40 cancellation fee.
  • Flood cover is not included as standard, it's an optional extra. Other insurers, like Youi, include flood cover as standard.

Features

Coles' landlord insurance policy includes adequate cover that is comparable to many other popular landlord insurance providers. The only downside is that flood cover is an optional extra rather than a standard inclusion.
