How we compare contents insurance

We collect publicly available product information on insurance policies, and send surveys to insurers asking for quotes for a range of scenarios. 

Premiums differ from home to home, so we can't estimate how much a policy will cost you. To compare policies on price we obtained quotes for five different customer scenarios in two locations per state and territory (one in the capital, one in a high-risk area) as well as northern Queensland. By comparing the results of these tests we can see how each policy stacks up against the competition in each region.

    Satisfaction score

    Expand to view more details.

    We surveyed customers to ask them about their overall experience with the insurer. This score represents the percentage of people who rated their experience as above average or excellent. Percentages with an asterisk* had fewer than 30 respondents, so they should be taken as indicative only. N/A means there was no result for that insurer.
