Frequently Asked Questions
I thought I already had cover for glass breakage under my home policy?
Yes, accidental breakage of glass is an additional cover that comes with your policy, however when you make a claim under accidental breakage of glass the excess shown on your certificate applies. When you have the optional extra Excess-free Glass cover, we cover the cost to replace certain fixed glass in your home without you having to pay an excess if the fixed glass breakage is the only claim.
Limits, exclusions and conditions apply, please refer to the PDS for full details.
Does Excess-free Glass cover also cover the glass frame?
We will also cover the frame of any window, door or shower screen, but only if this is necessary to enable the glass to be replaced.
