Rental Protection Plus Advantage
Rental Protection Plus Advantage includes set cover for your property's contents (worth up to $50,000) and loss of rent as an optional extra. You can also get cover for malicious and accidental damage and legal liability for up to $20 million if someone tries to sue you. This policy comes with a basic excess of $100.
Rental Protection Plus
This is a landlord insurance policy that lets you choose what you're covered for, including building insurance. The cost of a policy will depend on what you want covered and the excess you choose.

AON's excess explained
An excess is an amount that you need to contribute whenever you make a claim. All insurers generally require you to pay an excess. With an AON landlord insurance policy, the standard excess is usually $100. It may differ if you buy a Rental Protection Plus policy.
If you need to make a claim for damage or loss because of an earthquake, it's likely that you'll have to pay an additional excess of $250 on top of the standard excess. You might find that you have to pay additional excesses for other reasons but this should be outlined in your Certificate of Insurance.
