My house & contents insurer - CGU - isnt offering cover for sporting goods outside of the home this year
Anyone know which companies are still offering cover for kites & boards, cameras etc stolen from locked cars.

I know its been discussed before but I have tried a 'search'.

I am pretty sure they can stop it, obviously not part way through a contract, but definitely for a renewal.

The last time I inquired, at the start of the year, AAMI was covering this. It's part of home and contents and it's called something like optional extras. Obviously it doesn't cover the equipment while in use.

Andrewm who are you with? I think i have a similar cover to yours with Allianze. I did the same and asked him like 6 or 7 times just to confirm it but he said it was covered, which included travel around AUs and o/s for 90 days as well.

Hey Rooboy, I'm with Allianz for home & contents. How much is the cover?

We had a few cars broken into recently up here and I couldn't risk it any more so I insured kites with AAMI.. they were awesome

"portables insurance" covered $4000 of kites for $103/yr
(same deal as the others - not while in use)

Thanks for confirming my previous post.

got all my stuff covered with vero insurance.. bloody brilliant about 15000 of specified portable valuables including my kit and contents insured up to 40000 for 55/month... had to make a claim about 2 years ago.. no problem got a check to buy a whole new kite about 2 weeks later :)

Uh, if they have changed the policy then it's not a renewal because it's no longer the same contract. Bl%dy insurance companies...

If they have changed the policy, then technically it's not a renewal, as you're signing up for a different policy. Bl%dy insurance companies... grr.

Makes me think of the claim on some products you buy at the supermarket: New and Improved! Which one is it?! If it's New, there was nothing like it before and thus it can't be an Improvement. If it's an Improvement then there was already something before it to improve upon and thus it can't be New. Ouch, my head hurts. I'm going kiting... Redkite Downwinder! Oh yeah!

Does make me wonder if I'm covered or could get cover for mine tho. Best make a couple of calls.
