Our direct answer
LifeDirect is our service to check first for home insurance in New Zealand. Buildings cover and contents cover protect different property interests. Consider replacement cost, storm and flood terms, deductibles and temporary accommodation.
We favour a clear online comparison and the ability to inspect actual cover, fees and claims rules over a headline premium. New Zealand residents should confirm local product availability on the official provider website.
LifeDirect
LifeDirect offers a practical place to begin comparing home insurance for eligible customers. Its online service and product information help you assess relevant coverage, but an individual plan should be selected for your own circumstances rather than on the name alone.

What to compare before choosing
For New Zealand, compare building replacement value, contents valuation, flood/storm cover, excess and alternative accommodation. Ask the provider whether the particular insurance category and underwriting terms are offered to residents of New Zealand.
Look at the full premium after any introductory discount, the amount you contribute to a claim and the documents required for a successful claim. If you are an expat or nonresident, check the insurer’s eligibility rules before buying.
