Can I pay my premium fortnightly?
We do not offer fortnightly payments, but we do offer annual and monthly payments. The great news is we don’t charge you extra if you pay by the month.

Why has my Landlords sum insured increased on my renewal documents?
Each year at your insurance renewal, we automatically adjust the amount you are insured for to help the cover keep pace with inflation. In addition to this adjustment, you may also need to consider (amongst other things) recently completed improvements to your building.
