I think ours is through QBE as the cars are too.

No idea on the cost.

I have combined buildings and contents with the Commonwealth Bank and it costs me $62 per month.

We use SGIO for all our insurance: so building, contents and car - you get a discount if you use them for more than one.

Cant say I've had any complaints but (touch wood!) havent needed to make a claim yet. Found them cheaper than QBE or any of the alternatives too.

AAMI - found them cheapest for contents-only policies. No problems with them so far after 18 months.

Just out of interest:

Do the policies from the insurance companies above cover you for/against bush fires destroying/damaging the house, garden and contents?

NRMA - and they paid up with a new laptop when the previous one got fried via the phone line in an electrical storm.

Have not had to claim on any of the other policies.
