More than one thing damaged at once?
If an incident means you need to claim on multiple Tower house, contents, car and boat policies, you’ll only pay one excess. The highest excess applies.
Lost or stolen keys? Excess free replacement
We’ll organise the replacement of your keys or locks if they’re stolen, lost, or illegally duplicated, and you won’t need to pay an excess.
Replacement up to your sum insured
If your home and contents are destroyed, we’ll pay up to the sum insured amounts to rebuild your home and replace your damaged contents with new.
For all of these benefits, please make sure you read the policy wording to understand the terms, conditions, limits and exclusions that may apply.

We know insurance lingo can be a bit confusing. While our policies are WriteMark™ approved, we've put our heads together to explain some common terms.
If you're wondering what all that insurance lingo is all about, let’s unpack it.
Contents insurance FAQs

Our Plus and Premium contents insurance policies do cover your home office. Plus gives cover up to $5,000 at your house and Premium gives cover up to $10,000 at your house.

Don't worry. All of our contents policies cover mobile phones starting from $500 cover on our Standard policy, up to no limit on our Premium policy.
Want our Standard or Plus policy, but need more cover for your phone? No problem – just let us know and we'll increase the limit for that item.
If your phone needs repairing, we have a network of skilled technicians who can handle this for you.
Yes. Our contents policies cover your prescription glasses and sunglasses, contacts, hearing aids and removable dentures. We'll repair or replace them if they are damaged, lost or stolen.
We know how important these items can be to your quality of life, so we strive to get these sorted as soon as possible.
If you have either the Plus or Premium contents policy claims for these items will be excess free.
It can be difficult to know how much any specific item is worth, especially after you've owned it for a few years. As a rule of thumb, consider how much it would cost to replace your contents. Not just your electronics and jewellery, but your clothing and kitchen utensils.
To help you estimate this cost, look at prices for similar items. Be aware of sales while you do this. To be safe, always use the standard retail price.
Damage to your contents through daily life, ageing and normal wear and tear is not covered.
We will cover contents of the named policy holders and their family members who live at the same address as you. If you have flatmates, boarders or guests they will need to have their own contents policy for any items that belong to them.
