Policies you can get through AON

AON offers two types of landlord insurance policies. Here's what they do.

Rental Protection Plus Advantage

Rental Protection Plus Advantage includes set cover for your property's contents (worth up to $50,000) and loss of rent as an optional extra. You can also get cover for malicious and accidental damage and legal liability for up to $20 million if someone tries to sue you. This policy comes with a basic excess of $100.

Rental Protection Plus

This is a landlord insurance policy that lets you choose what you're covered for, including building insurance. The cost of a policy will depend on what you want covered and the excess you choose.

AON's excess explained

An excess is an amount that you need to contribute whenever you make a claim. All insurers generally require you to pay an excess. With an AON landlord insurance policy, the standard excess is usually $100. It may differ if you buy a Rental Protection Plus policy.

If you need to make a claim for damage or loss because of an earthquake, it's likely that you'll have to pay an additional excess of $250 on top of the standard excess. You might find that you have to pay additional excesses for other reasons but this should be outlined in your Certificate of Insurance.

Claiming with AON

To make an AON landlord insurance claim, you can call 1800 105 900 or complete the form and return it to newclaims@cgu.com.au. Before you submit your claim, it's worth noting that you'll need:

  • Information about what happened and when it occurred
