Our verdict

Pros

  • ING includes similar benefits to other more expensive insurers, yet remains comparatively cheap.
  • Of the 42 home insurers we got prices for, ING was in the top 10 cheapest.
  • There are plenty of optional extras available if you'd like to extend your coverage.

Cons

  • The sum insured safeguard is an optional extra only, other providers like QBE include this as standard. Although QBE is typically more expensive.
  • If you want to pay monthly, you'll be charged an additional fee for this.
  • It includes up to $20million in legal liability cover, but other brands can cover you for up to $30million.

ING includes decent coverage and generous benefit limits, yet remains competitive on price in comparison to other home insurance providers. It's typically cheaper than many other popular brands, including Youi and QBE, however, those two policies are also more comprehensive than ING.
