Re: House And Contents Insurance With Full Flood Cover
Does anyone have the full 2011 Choice House and Contents Report they are willing to share???
It rated insurers for who's the best. RACQ declined to take part though.

Rightyho, Suncorp have hiked our premium from $1000 a year to $1500 we haven't claimed in the 3 years we have been with them).
We expected a rise given recent events but this is just extracting the Michael so ...
Their main is selling point is the comprehensive flood cover, which we need (backing onto a creek and all).
Recommendations before I do the tedious thing and hit the majors anyone?
Ta muchly.

Re: House And Contents Insurance With Full Flood Cover
An update on this ... after much searching and scrutinising fine print we renewed with Suncorp despite the 50% hike in premium.
The flood cover did it for us and saving maybe a maximum of $150 wasn't worth it for the risk.
