What your premium goes towards

When you choose us, you're getting an insurer with a proven response to natural disasters and networks that deliver quality repairs and replacements. Your premiums go towards the cost of replacing and repairing your property and belongings should something happen, and we're committed to being there for you when you need us most. You might be surprised to learn that only part of the price you pay goes to AMI. Some of your premium is paid to the New Zealand government in the form of levies and tax.

Factors that may cause a change in Home and Contents insurance premiums from year to year:

Cost to repair or replace your house or belongings

Risk of natural disasters and climate change

Government taxes and levies

More or less claims of a specific nature

Specific home features or items you choose to insure

The cost of doing business
