Honey differs from many home insurance brands as it offers customers three smart home sensors, to detect and minimise the risk of fire, water, damage, and theft. Its policies are cheaper than the national average and have competitive benefit limits.
As part of our 2024 awards, our insurance experts researched 45 home insurance brands and got over 400 quotes. This research showed the average cost of home insurance is $2,044, Honey was cheaper than average at $1,924. There are cheaper home insurance policies available including AAMI, QBE & Budget Direct, but keep in mind that the best home insurance for you may depend on more than just price.
Remember, your quote may look different as pricing is highly dependent on specific situations.
