What is the difference between Tool & Portable Equipment insurance and Contents (Property) insurance?

Tool & Portable Equipment insurance covers the cost of the things you take on-the-job with you anywhere in New Zealand. Contents insurance covers the things which stay on your premises.

What is the difference between Contents (Property) insurance and Building insurance?

Both cover damage caused by storm, fire, and theft or break in, but Contents (Property) protects the money, equipment, stock, and glass in your building, while Building Cover protects the building you operate out of.

Are my tools covered if they were stolen out of my van?

Tool & Portable Equipment insurance can cover you if your tools are stolen from your locked van, ute, or work vehicle. When you make a claim, we will assess if the stolen equipment was stored securely.

Can I buy Business Vehicle insurance for my work ute or van?
