*If you receive more than one discount, we apply each in a predetermined order to the already discounted premium (usually before adding taxes and charges). The discounts we offer are subject to change.

Online discount is only available for new, eligible policies purchased online and will be applied upon purchase and subtracted from the premium. Online discount is not available with any other offers and does not apply to optional covers Apia Home Assist, Excess-free Glass cover and Apia Roadside Assist (if available).

Excess-free Glass cover

  • No excess payable when your claim is only for the broken fixed glass
  • No limit on number of claims during the policy period
  • Easy claims process
  • Trusted glass repairer

How Excess-free Glass cover works

When the unexpected happens and fixed glass in a window, door, skylight or shower screen in your home is accidently broken, if for an extra premium you have chosen to add Excess-free Glass cover as an optional extra on your home insurance, we will cover the cost to replace that glass without you having to pay an excess. Just call us on 13 50 50 or lodge a claim online and we will organise for one of our trusted glass repairers to replace the broken window. We will also cover the cost to repair or replace the frame of any window, door or shower screen, if required to enable us to replace the glass.

Please refer to the PDS for full details.
