FMG’s Home policy covers your house, including additional structures like garages, sheds, gates, fences, patios, and driveways.
As New Zealand’s leading rural insurer, FMG’s Home policy considers rural residential risks. This includes automatic cover to replace or rebuild your septic tank which hasn’t been damaged but needs to be reconnected following a claim on your home.
Our policy also covers damage caused by natural hazard (natural disaster) event including earthquake, tsunami, hydrothermal activity, or landslide. If the loss to your home is also covered by Natural Hazards Commission – Toka Tū Ake, we will pay the difference between your Natural Hazard Cover and the cover you have under this policy.
This policy also automatically covers your legal liability for damage or loss you cause to someone else’s property, or accidental bodily injury to another person, at your section.
