Our verdict

Pros

  • Save up to 16% when you buy home and contents insurance online. T&Cs apply
  • We compared over 40 home insurance brands. None offered higher limits for legal liability, temporary accommodation, or lock replacement than Kogan
  • Insurance customers get a $10 off a purchase over $100 on Kogan.com, every month

Cons

  • If you're looking for a budget policy, there are cheaper alternatives available
  • There's no option to remove flood cover from your policy to lower your premium
  • Standard cover for jewellery is quite low, with a limit of $2,500 unless you specify higher

Kogan is a mid-priced home insurance policy with some strong benefits and generous limits - we couldn't find a brand that offered higher cover for legal liability, temporary accommodation, or lock replacement.

However, Kogan offers no cover for guest contents, while some brands - including Westpac, NAB and Bendigo - all cover up to $5,000. Limits on jewellery are also low at $2,500 compared to the $7,500 offered by Allianz, St George and QBE.
