House Insurance
House Insurance
Insurance for your most precious asset
Whether you’re insuring a tiny townhouse or a clifftop castle, Primesure brokers work with New Zealand’s leading insurers to customise a comprehensive cover for your property.
Getting the right policy means that whether a rogue cricket ball breaks a window, or a natural disaster causes serious damage, you know you’re protected.
Common policy features
Area-based replacement for non-natural disaster damage
If your house burns down, in most cases the insurer will rebuild your house based on the square metres listed on your schedule – regardless of the cost. If your house is destroyed by a natural disaster like an earthquake, they’ll rebuild your house up to the sum insured.
Furthermore, if the disaster is an area-wide one and this results in an inflation of building costs, there are policies with built-in price surge cover to provide an extra layer of protection when you need it most.
Adjustable cover limits
Some kiwis have sprawling sections and others little lots. That’s why cover limits for landscaping and retaining walls can be adjusted based on your property.
Alternative accommodation cover
This cover pays for temporary housing (e.g. in a motel) for you, your family and your pets if you have to vacate your home after an event you claim on, such as flooding. You can adjust the value of the cover based on your needs and the size of your family.
Optional cover
You can often customise your policy to include additional coverage, such as excess-free glass replacement. This means you won’t be required to pay an excess for the accidental breakage of glass or sanitary fixtures.

Contents Insurance
Contents Insurance
Protect your prized possessions
Many New Zealanders are underinsured to replace their contents and get an unpleasant surprise when it comes time to make a claim.
The right way to think about contents insurance is not what all your ‘stuff’ is worth today or what price you bought it for. The question you should ask is,
‘If I lost all my possessions, what items would I need to replace, and what would it cost me to do that at today’s prices?’
For example, that leaky old fridge might not sell for much on TradeMe, but it would certainly cost you more to buy a new one.
Common policy features
Adjustable cover limits
Generally, you won’t have to specify your contents item by item for them to be covered, but you can choose extra cover to protect your most important or valuable items, such as art, jewellery, photography equipment or bikes.
Alternative accommodation cover
This cover pays for temporary housing (e.g. in a motel) for you, your family and your pets if you have to vacate your home after an event you claim on, such as flooding. You can adjust the value of the cover based on your needs and the size of your family.
Primesure brokers work with leading insurers to get you the right cover for your contents and ensure there are no surprises at claims time.
Car Insurance
Car Insurance
Get back on the road, faster.
Whether you’re road-tripping on the open road or crawling in rush-hour traffic, when cars are involved, accidents can happen. Repairing or replacing damaged vehicles is never cheap, so car insurance should be at the top of any driver’s list.
It’s important to understand what you’re covered for under different levels of insurance and choose the level of risk that you’re comfortable with.
Cover options
Comprehensive
The highest level of protection available. Comprehensive insurance covers the cost of replacing or repairing your own damaged car and accidental damage you cause to someone else's vehicle or property.
Third-Party, Fire and Theft
This cover will replace your car if it’s stolen or destroyed in a fire and pay for accidental damage you cause to someone else’s vehicle or property.
Third-Party only
This option does not cover your own vehicle, just accidental damage you cause to someone else’s car or property.
Common comprehensive policy features
Agreed value
Agreed value means if damage to your car can’t be fixed, or it’s stolen, you can claim for the price you agreed on, not the current market value – and there can be a BIG difference!
Lock and key replacement
Some comprehensive policies will cover the partial or complete cost of having your keys and locks replaced.
Roadside cover
Many insurers offer this as an optional feature. If you break down, get a flat tyre or lose your keys, roadside cover will usually include towing to a mechanic.
Rental car
If you need some wheels while your car gets fixed, some policies will partially or completely cover the costs of renting another vehicle.
Primesure brokers work with New Zealand’s leading car insurers to give you access to a range of great features. Speak to us today about getting the right cover.
Boat & Pleasurecraft
Boat & Pleasurecraft
Reel in the right cover to stay afloat
Boating is a way of life for many kiwis. On a great day, the fish don’t stop biting and breath-taking sunsets are almost guaranteed. On a really bad day, well, that’s what insurance is for!
Primesure brokers can find you the right specialist marine insurance cover for all types of boats and pleasure craft, so you can enjoy your time on the water.
Common pleasure craft cover:
Comprehensive:
This covers accidental and malicious damage to your boat, fire damage, theft of your boat and its contents, accidents when trailering or in transit, and damage you may cause to someone else’s boat or property.
Third-party:
This covers accidental damage you may cause to someone else’s boat or property, including mooring infrastructures such as pontoons and piles. Many marinas around New Zealand will not allow you to hold a berth without this level of cover.
Storm damage
If your boat is damaged or sinks during a storm, there are policies that will cover the damage and recovery costs, including fuel removal.
Primesure brokers work with leading pleasure craft insurers to get kiwi boaties the right cover. Talk to us today about your boating needs and we’ll find the right policy; Hook, line and sinker.
