Comprehensive cover for your home


 

 Echelon cover provides

 
  • Open all
    ​Protection against damage or loss to your home

    If your house is damaged we’ll repair or restore your home to the position it was in prior to the damage. If it’s totally destroyed and you choose not to rebuild it on the same site, we can agree to pay you present value so you can build a new home somewhere else.

  • ​Alternative accommodation

    If you can’t live in your house because of damage covered by the policy, we’ll pay for accommodation for your family and your pets while it’s being repaired.

  • $250 excess on claims for windows and fixtures

    You will only have to pay an excess of $250 per event on a claim that is solely for the accidental breakage of a window, bathroom fitting or fixed glass lampshade.

  • Home office

    Echelon cover extends to any part of your home used as a home office.

  • Protection from personal liability for damage to other property

    We’ll cover your legal liability if you accidentally damage someone else’s property or if you accidentally injure somebody, anywhere in New Zealand in relation to your home ownership. Provided you check with us first, we may also cover your legal fees.

  • Landlord protection

    You can choose to add an optional benefit to cover the use of your home by tenants. This will protect your home from intentional damage, theft or loss of rent.

  • ​More about Echelon Home insurance
