RAA is a South Australia based insurer, best known for providing motor, travel and home insurance products. In addition to these services, it also offers RAA landlord insurance. When you sign up to a policy, you'll be covered against fire, storms, theft and other types of damage, and you'll automatically become a member, which gives you access to discounts and savings.
Here are the policies that you can get through RAA.
This type of policy is for traditional rentals. It comes with the option to cover:
This policy can cover you for several insured events such as storms, theft, fire, vandalism and more. A combined policy is helpful if you also have a furnished property, otherwise, building only cover may be more suitable. You may want to consider a rental furnishings only policy if your rental property is furnished and under strata control.
RAA is one of a handful of insurers that provide short term rental insurance for landlords looking to rent out their holiday home or property. In order to be eligible for cover, your property must be used primarily as a rental property and you mustn't be at the property for more than 50% of the time available for occupation, unless RAA has agreed with you otherwise. Like Landlord (Permanent) Rental insurance, you can get cover for the building only, the contents only or a combination of the two.
It can be hard to tell exactly which policy is the best for you. The table below outlines exactly what RAA's policies cover.
