How do I make a claim with NAB?

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

What excesses do I have to pay with NAB?

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.

Does NAB landlord insurance cover a furnished property?

Our verdict

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.

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.
