Kogan home insurance is issued by QBE Insurance (Australia) Limited, one of Australia's biggest insurers. It means you're in trusted hands but your policy is similar to other QBE insurance products.
Its 16% discount isn't market-leading – Budget Direct, St.George and Westpac all offer more.

Kogan home insurance comes with a 21-day cooling off period which is the standard among most insurers. This means you can cancel within 21 days of taking out a policy and you won't be charged, so long as you don't make a claim. Like all insurers, you'll also need to pay at least one excess when you submit a claim.
Wondering about Kogan's home insurance complaints?
We looked at home insurance complaint data from the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) between July 2022 and June 2023. The data breaks down different underwriters and compares their business size to the number of complaints processed.
When comparing insurers, keep in mind that insurers with a larger market share serve more customers, so can potentially get more complaints.
Here's an overview of how Kogan's underwriter, QBE, did:
It received significantly fewer complaints compared to other insurers of its size
QBE has a fairly low rate of resolving its complaints directly with its customers compared to Hollard and Insurance Australia Limited.

Kogan home insurance is good if you want an insurer that's underwritten by a big insurer like QBE but comes with Kogan.com perks.
You pay nothing. Finder is free to use. And you pay the same as going direct. No markups, no hidden fees.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
