We’re currently shopping around for some Insurance (House & Contents), and are trying to decide going direct with someone like ANZ (Underwritten by Vero), or using a Broker (Have received some quotes by Rothsbury, as they seemed to be quite widely recommended).
I’m finding prices similar, but ANZ definitely seems cheaper overall.
I had heard that getting insurance through a broker is better, as come time to put through a claim, they will help you through the process, and get paid out faster. Is this really the case?, and so making it worth the higher costs (few hundred more).
I have had a great service from FMG (for household and car insurance) clear language, simple processes and reasonable prices.
Good to know. Will keep them in mind for when we come to renew next year. For now, we’ve decided to go with our Bank, mainly due to price and the cashback promotion they currently have.
