Yes, it’s really important to tell us about these things as we may need to increase the event limit within your policy.
Let us know about valuables such as jewellery, cameras, bicycles, works of art and any coin, stamp, card or medal collection so we can specify them on your policy and increase the limit. We have standard limits for certain valuables and if we don’t know about the extra cover you need for your special items, the standard limit will apply.
Check our Contents Insurance page or contact us and we’ll discuss if you need more than the standard limit for any items.
Your Contents Insurance will cover the possessions of you and family normally living with you at your address and not covered by a Tenancy Agreement. However, it doesn’t cover people you’ve invited into your home — for example, tenants or party guests.
Cover is also provided while children are living at boarding school, with limited cover for children living in tertiary accommodation.
There are several ways to calculate the cost of rebuilding your home, including:
- Using an online calculator such as the Cordell Sum Sure Calculator*. The Cordell Online Calculator provides estimated typical building replacement costs for standard residential homes.
- Obtaining a valuation completed by a builder, architect, quantity surveyor or other building expert.
There are many details that need to be taken into account when assessing the rebuild cost of your home, and because no one knows your home better than you do it’s up to you to determine the rebuild value of your home and provide your Sum Insured. Each home is unique; made from a variety of different materials, to different qualities and sizes and it is important that the sum insured reflects this.
For a full description of what’s included as part of your home, please read the ‘Your home includes’ section of your AA Insurance Home Insurance policy document.

Yes, your home is covered by natural disaster top-up cover if your claim is first accepted by the Earthquake Commission (EQC). Your Home Insurance premium includes an amount for natural disaster insurance, which is provided by the Earthquake Commission and is called EQCover.
If the unexpected happens and your home is damaged by a natural event, we’ll top up the EQCover, to your Sum Insured limit, to ensure you can get your life back to normal as quickly as possible.
