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?

However, we can help protect the tools of trade and portable equipment securely stored inside your work vehicle with Tool & Portable Equipment insurance. So, if your tools are stolen from your locked ute or van, your policy can help replace them (subject to the policy terms).

Public Liability Insurance: 5 Tips for choosing the best policy for your business

If you’re a sole trader or small business owner, protecting your business and your customers with Public Liability insurance is one of the most important aspects. It offers protection should a customer, supplier, or even member of the public, sue your business for damage to their property. And whilst you probably take every care not to damage their property, it doesn’t mean you won’t be found negligent should an unwanted accident occur, or someone attempts to make a claim against you. As cliché as it sounds, accidents happen. If you don’t have Public Liability insurance you face the risk of being out of pocket for hefty legal and compensation costs that can potentially cripple your business.
