Ready to renew your policy?

You should receive a renewal notice at least 14 days before your policy is due to end, by post or email.

Here’s what to do:

  1. Review the accuracy of the details in your Certificate of Insurance and compare them with your previous policy period.
  2. Check your sum insured and excess to make sure they continue to align with your needs.
  3. Confirm your payment method or update it if required.

Most policies renew automatically. Your Certificate of Insurance will indicate whether this applies to you.

If you need to make changes or renew manually, call 13 1361 before your renewal date. 

Renewal FAQs

Typically, policies are set to automatic renewal. If this is applicable to you it would be stated on your Certificate of Insurance. 

If you need to make changes or opt out of auto-renewal, call 13 1361.

Your insurance premium is likely to change when you renew your policy, even if your personal circumstances haven't changed. 

Each year your premium is determined using your latest information and external risk factors across Australia. Aside from your claim’s history, there are several factors taken into consideration when calculating your premium at renewal. This includes: 

  • Weather events 
  • Repair and supply costs 
  • Inflation 
  • The frequency of natural disasters 
  • Cost of portable valuables

For more information about how your premium discount/s and applicable excesses are determined, read the Premium, Excess and Discount Guide for your product on our website.

The cost of an insurance premium for home, landlord or car is typically made up of several components:

  • Base premium 
  • Government taxes and levies including the Emergency Services Levy (ESL), the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Stamp Duty

  1. Review your policy: Understand what's covered, including limits and exclusions. 
  2. Check your cover limits: Ensure you have enough cover to meet your needs, budget and circumstances.
  3. Regularly review your cover: Reassess your cover after significant life changes. 

It is important to ensure that your payment details for your insurance policy(s) are correct and up to date so that there is no chance that your policy could lapse, which may leave you without coverage.

To update your direct debit or credit card details, call 13 1361.

Operating hours are Monday–Friday, 8am-8pm or Saturday 8am-5pm (Syd/Melb time).

The product has changed so that Portable Valuables cover now applies only within Australia and New Zealand. If you’re travelling outside these regions, Portable Valuables won’t be covered under this optional feature. To stay protected, you may want to consider adding an appropriate travel insurance policy.

Find out more in the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS).

You'll be given up to 14 days of temporary cover if you permanently replace your vehicle. These 14 days begin from the date you buy the new vehicle.

Call 13 1361 if you’ve bought a new car, as your policy will need to be updated.

For the temporary cover to apply:

  • You need to provide full details of the replacement vehicle within 14 days of taking ownership of it.
  • You need to receive an agreement to cover the replacement vehicle.
  • You need to pay any additional premium required.

The temporary cover will be the same type as your existing cover. For example, if you have Comprehensive cover your temporary cover will also be Comprehensive.

You can insure your car for either market value or agreed value, provided the vehicle can be insured. It’s important to note this is only available with Comprehensive Car Insurance.

Here’s what they are:

  • Agreed value is the amount that has been agreed to insure your car for. You will know the agreed value from your Certificate of Insurance. 
  • Market value is the reasonable amount that the market would pay for your car immediately before it’s loss or damage, taking into account the age, make, model, condition and kilometres travelled, among other things, provided that the vehicle is insured. This means this amount could vary during your Period of Insurance and the value isn’t shown on your Certificate of Insurance.

You can find out more in the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS).
