What does Everyday Home Insurance offer?

Everyday Home Insurance offers 3 types of home insurance: building insurance, contents insurance, and a building and contents insurance policy. After choosing your policy type, you can also select your level of cover from either standard or comprehensive. This is handy if flexibility is important to you and it's a feature that's not very common in Australian home insurance.

On top of that, Everyday Insurance also offers cover for landlords as well.

These policies are designed to cover events that can cause damage to your home. Here are some examples:

Everyday Home Insurance (AR No. 245476) is backed by The Hollard Insurance Company Pty Ltd. – a popular insurance underwriter in Australia. Everyday Home Insurance offers a few different levels of excesses so that you can choose an amount that you're happy with. On top of that, it has a 14-day cooling off period which is a little bit under industry standards.
