FAQs

What does ‘new for old’ mean?

New for old means:

  • New materials, new items;
  • New for old, regardless of age;
  • Same type, standard and specification as when new (or if not reasonably available, similar type, standard and specification).

For a full definition of ‘new for old’, and for how we settle contents claims, refer to the PDS.

What should I do if I have an accident?

Unfortunately, accidents can happen to anyone, even the most careful drivers. Make sure everyone is safe.

Contact us as soon as possible on 1800 429 598 if you suffer loss or damage, or if there is an incident that could result in a claim. Where possible, please have details of any other parties or vehicles involved (including registration number of the vehicle).

If you have caused damage to other people’s property

As soon as possible tell us about any incident that has caused damage to other people’s property. Also advise us about any demands made on you to pay compensation to others, any court actions or offers of settlement and send these to us. The quicker we receive these, the better placed we will be to protect your interests.

Joint policyholders

During the period of insurance, we might ask all joint policyholders first before we action a request or direction in relation to your policy (e.g. before we cancel your policy, reduce your cover or remove another policyholder). This way we can help protect the interests of all policyholders.

Your responsibilities

We have changed the responsibility for you to take ‘all reasonable care’ to prevent theft, loss, damage or legal liability with the responsibility to ‘take steps’ to prevent theft, loss, damage or legal liability. We have also included an example of a step you can take ‘(e.g. ensuring there are working smoke detectors in the building or unit)’.

Should I keep an inventory of my contents?

It’s wise to maintain a detailed list of electrical and electronic equipment, which should include makes, models, serial numbers, etc. This will come in handy if you ever need to make a claim.

Photographs will also help us with replacement, and help the police following a burglary.

How are claims paid?

If your claim for loss, theft or damage to your car is covered under your policy we will either:

  • repair or replace the damaged parts of your car using one of our preferred repairers;
  • pay you the amount of the assessed quote from our preferred repairer when our preferred repairer is able to complete the repair or replace the damaged parts of your car but you request a cash settlement;
  • pay you the amount of the assessed quote from your repairer if one of our preferred repairers cannot complete the repair or replace the damaged parts of your car;
  • settle your claim as a total loss

You/Your

We have extended this definition to include:

  • your legal guardian
  • people who provide care or services to you.
