It’s a well-known fact that insurance premiums have gone up.

Over the past 2 years, New Zealand, and Gisborne in particular, has been hit with severe and frequent weather bombs. In addition, rising inflation has pushed building and construction costs through the roof.
With the everyday cost of living putting the squeeze on Kiwi pockets, it’s no surprise that many shop around for a better deal at renewal time.
While a cheaper premium might catch your eye, it’s a classic case of situational irony—where saving a few bucks upfront can lead to pricey surprises when it comes time to make a claim. That bargain premium might just leave you out in the cold when you need coverage the most!
