When you take out Contents Insurance, it’s important the amount you’re insured for accurately reflects the cost to replace your contents. This is because you might have to pay the difference out of your own pocket if you’re insured for less than the replacement value of your contents.

For full details, see the relevant PDS.

The cost of your insurance is called a ‘premium’. Your premium will depend on a number of factors, and can change each year when you renew your policy. Your premium for each period of insurance will be shown on your policy schedule.

There are a number of factors that determine how your Allianz Contents Insurance premium is calculated, including:

  • Your risk profile. Allianz will work this out using a number of factors, such as:
    • Where you live
    • The type of property you’re insuring
    • The amount and type of cover you require
    • Any other people also insured under the policy
    • The relevant claims history of the people being insured
    • The likelihood of a claim being made on your policy
  • Any discounts that may apply
  • Any compulsory government charges such as Stamp Duty and GST
  • Emergency Services Levies if they apply to the State or Territory where your home is located
  • Any other charges Allianz tells you about
  • The excess you choose7

Yes, Allianz can offer insurance for up to three unrelated people living in the home. Allianz Contents Insurance for renters will cover contents for up to three housemates, as long as they’re named on the policy as insured policyholders.
If you’re a renter or tenant, and you want to be covered for the cost of repairing or replacing your contents, e.g. furniture, whitegoods, electrical appliances, and clothing, then you may want to take out Renters Contents Insurance. The Home Contents replacement calculator is available to help estimate the value of your contents.

If you take out Allianz Contents Insurance, here’s how it can work if you suffer an insured loss:

  • The house or apartment you live in burns down and destroys all your contents within it. With adequate sums insured under Renters Contents cover, you could replace your insured contents.
  • A thief enters your house or apartment and steals your contents. You can replace the items that were stolen under your Contents Insurance.
  • While rearranging your furniture, you accidentally drop your bookshelf on your glass coffee table, and the glass breaks. Your Allianz Contents Insurance covers accidental breakage of glass that forms part of your contents in your home (other than those contents that are excluded such as televisions – see the relevant PDS). If you take out optional Accidental Damage cover, Allianz will repair or replace the whole coffee table including the glass.
