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).

      Yeah I did here that AA were pretty good to deal with come claims time.

      Though with the slight difference in cost, but mainly due to ANZ’s $500 Cash back offering at the moment, thinking of possibly going with ANZ for a year, with the thoughts of changing in a years time - possibly to AA

        I used to be with MAS, but have since switched to AA. Mainly because it’s cheaper bundled with AA Motor Insurance and AA Membership. But when we had it, MAS was also great, even better coverage than AA, but just a touch bit more expensive.

          actually didn’t even think of bundling car insurance and the membership through AA. Will look into when we are due for renewal.
