Renters Insurance

Contents insurance for renters
Our Renters Insurance helps cover the cost of loss or damage to your contents at your rental home

What is renters insurance?

Renters insurance provides contents insurance for renters. It’s designed to help cover the cost of loss or damage to the contents at your rental home as a result of an insured event. Renters insurance can provide cover for your furniture and appliances to electrical goods and your BBQ, and even clothes, shoes and handbags.

Renters insurance covers the cost of repair or replacement of your contents when loss or damage is caused by break-ins, fires, natural events such as storms and bushfire3, impact damage such as a fallen tree, as well as accidental breakage of glass and more.

Has your property or its contents been damaged? Making a claim with us is quick and simple. Find out what’s involved and what you’ll need to make a claim.

What our Renters Insurance covers

Find out what is and isn’t covered under our Renters Insurance, as well as some optional covers you can buy.

  • Legal liability cover
  • Up to $20m legal liability cover. Provides cover for if you’re found liable to pay compensation to someone because you’ve accidently injured them or damaged their property during the period of insurance.
  • Alternative accommodation

    If your contents are damaged by an insured event during the period of insurance to such an extent that your home can’t be lived in, we’ll pay for temporary accommodation costs.

We’ll also pay up to $500 for your pets in a commercial boarding establishment.

    The maximum we’ll pay is the balance of your contents sum insured, after we’ve paid any claim for damage to your contents.

*Conditions apply

  1. Up to 30% No Claim Bonus
    Based on data collected from 1/8/20 to 31/7/21 of new customers who purchased an Allianz Home Insurance policy and received 30% No Claim Bonus.

    When you take out a new policy, we calculate your No Claim Bonus based on your home insurance claims history. To qualify for the maximum No Claim Bonus of 30%, Home Insurance customers must’ve had no Building or Contents Insurance claims in the preceding five years. However, customers who have had claims may still qualify for a reduced No Claim Bonus.

    After each claim-free year, the No Claim Bonus applied to your renewal premium will be increased by 10%, to a maximum of 30%. However, for every claim you make in a year, the No Claim Bonus applied to your renewal premium will be reduced by 10% to a minimum of 0%.

    The No Claim Bonus is applied to some optional covers if selected; Motor Burnout and Accidental Damage, but not Flood or Portable Contents cover.

  2. Minimum premiums may apply
    Any discounts may be subject to rounding and only apply to the extent that any minimum premium isn’t reached. If you’re eligible for more than one discount, Allianz applies them in a predetermined order. This means the effect of applying any subsequent discount will be reduced. For example, the aggregate effect of applying two discounts consecutively means that you won’t see the full benefit of both these discounts.

    Discounts don’t apply to taxes or government charges. No discounts are applied to the optional cover: Domestic Workers’ Compensation (if available and selected).

  3. 72-hour exclusion period
    We don’t provide cover for any loss of or damage to your property caused by cyclone, flood, grassfires and bushfires, during the first 72 hours after you first purchase a policy or increase your cover under an existing policy.

  4. Portable Contents
    Some portable contents must be specified on your policy schedule as Listed Portable Contents to be covered.
