NAB landlord insurance comes with a 30% no claim bonus if you make no landlord insurance claims in 3 years — not many other insurers we looked at offer this.
It's good if you have a furnished flat — you can get 10% off when you combine building and contents cover.
Its 10% online discount isn't the largest offer available — competitors such as Budget Direct, Australian Seniors and Domain all offer more.
We don't currently have this brand on our panel. But don't fret! You can head to the NAB website or compare a bunch of other landlord insurance companies with Finder.

Make sure to read NAB's PDS for a more detailed breakdown of exclusions.
Bottom line about NAB landlord insurance
NAB landlord insurance values loyal customers with its 30% no claim bonus and it's one of the few insurers to give you money off if you take out combined cover. However, it's possible to get bigger discounts elsewhere.
Frequently asked questions about NAB landlord insurance
Before you claim, it's important that you contact the police if a theft or attempted theft has taken place. Then you can contact the Allianz claims centre (the underwriter) or make a claim online. It should only take you around 10 minutes and you'll be given a confirmation number straight away for your reference. The claims lodgement service is available 24/7. You'll need your policy number or address and details of what happened including photos, quotes and receipts
All insurers generally require you to pay an excess when you make a claim. This is a specified amount that you'll need to pay upfront towards the costs of a claim.
With NAB, you'll pay a basic excess as outlined by NAB and a voluntary excess which you can choose to help lower the cost of your premiums.
In some cases, NAB may impose an additional compulsory excess depending on your claims history and risk. This will be outlined on your policy schedule or PDS.
There is also generally an earthquake and tsunami excess. This is an additional excess of $250 you'll need to pay for any claims related to an earthquake or tsunami, during any period of 48 consecutive hours.
Yes. You can get contents cover (which covers furnished properties) or a combined building and contents cover policy.
A NAB landlord insurance policy is suitable for someone that owns a residential building that they rent out to a tenant. It's suitable for those who want to protect themselves against:
loss or damage to their building caused by certain unexpected insured events, like a fire or theft.
loss of rent as a result of their building being uninhabitable or inaccessible because of an insured event.
legal liability resulting from their ownership of the building.

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.
