Congratulations, Everyday!
Everyday received the following highly commended awards in the 2023 Customer Satisfaction Awards:
Everyday Home Insurance offers 3 types of home insurance: building insurance, contents insurance, and a building and contents insurance policy. After choosing your policy type, you can also select your level of cover from either standard or comprehensive. This is handy if flexibility is important to you and it's a feature that's not very common in Australian home insurance.
On top of that, Everyday Insurance also offers cover for landlords as well.
These policies are designed to cover events that can cause damage to your home. Here are some examples:
Everyday Home Insurance (AR No. 245476) is backed by The Hollard Insurance Company Pty Ltd. – a popular insurance underwriter in Australia. Everyday Home Insurance offers a few different levels of excesses so that you can choose an amount that you're happy with. On top of that, it has a 14-day cooling off period which is a little bit under industry standards.
If an insured event happens and damages your home, here are some standard features that you can claim on with a Everyday Home Insurance policy (it may vary based on what type of policy you choose):
Removal of trees and debris
Accidental damage
Professional and rebuilding fees
Emergency accommodation
Contents in your home office
Emergency storage of contents
Replacement of locks
Food spoilage
Document replacement
Optional add-ons
Here are the optional benefits that you can choose to tailor your policy. Just keep in mind that it will likely increase the cost of your policy.
Electrical motor burnout
Portable valuables
Exclusions
These are some things a Everyday Home Insurance policy will not cover you for. Check out the Everyday Home Insurance Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for a full list of the exclusions.
Bushfires, storm, rainwater or flood damage that happens within 72 hours of buying your policy
Damage to a home that has been unoccupied for more than 60 consecutive days
General wear and tear
Damage from vermin, insects, birds and wildlife
Earth movements like erosion, landslides and mudslides
Mould
Deliberate damage by you or other people invited to your home

Make sure you read Everyday Home Insurance PDS for a more detailed breakdown of exclusions. You can also head to general exclusions for more information.
The bottom line about Everyday Home Insurance
Everyday Home Insurance is good if flexibility and customisation is important to you. Not only does it offer standard and comprehensive policies, but you can also choose the level of excess you feel comfortable with.
You pay the same as buying directly from the home insurer. Better still, we regularly run exclusive deals that you won't find on any other site – plus, our tables make it easy to compare policies.
Unlike other comparison sites, we're not owned by an insurer. That means our opinions are our own and we work with lots of home insurance brands, making it easier for you to find a good deal.

The underwriter for Everyday Home Insurance is The Hollard Insurance Company Pty Ltd AFSL 241436.
A Everyday Home or Contents Insurance policy is suitable for someone who owns and occupies a home (excluding properties owned under a strata title, community or company title) that:
isn't under construction or being majorly renovated or altered
is kept in good condition and is properly protected from loss or damage
complies with relevant statutory and local government requirements
is used primarily by you for residential purposes and is unlikely to be unoccupied for more than 60 consecutive days
If you live in a property that’s under a strata title, community or company title, you may only be eligible for a contents insurance policy.
Policies are also only suitable if you have estimated the cost of replacement of the building, fixtures and structural improvements. You must also be comfortable that the policy satisfies your need for affordable cover and is likely to help reduce your net financial loss in the event of a claim. Additionally, you can check out the Target Market Determination (TMD) document on the insurer’s website.
Comprehensive policies are suitable to people who want higher limits, additional benefits and accidental damage cover.
Legal liability can cover you if your negligence around the home caused injury or death to someone, or damage/loss to their property.
Everyday Home Insurance offer a benefit amount of $20 million, which is the total amount from all policies you may hold under Everyday Insurance (including separate contents insurance policies). If you need more details, contact the insurer directly since exceptions can apply.

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.
