Types of Allianz Car Insurance policies in NZ

Comprehensive car insurance

This is Allianz Insurance’s full car cover policy, protecting your vehicle from a wide array of scenarios. It covers legal liability in case of an accident while also paying for damages your car sustained in the incident. In addition to these benefits, Allianz also offers liability protection should you get into an incident when using a substitute vehicle while your car is being repaired.

Third-party car insurance

Third-party cover is a budget level insurance policy that covers only other people’s property. It doesn’t cover any damages to your car. This is okay for people who are confident in their ability to get their car repaired or for those who don’t really use their car often in NZ.

Third-party, fire and theft insurance

This covers up to $1 million for damages to other people’s car or property should you be involved in an accident. It also covers you for damages resulting from fire or theft, giving it just a bit more benefit over the standard third-party policy.

Allianz Rental Car Insurance

As part of their travel insurance policy, it may be possible to avail of Allianz Rental Car Insurance should you need protection while driving abroad. While it’s not always necessary, especially when only travelling for a short time, having the collision damage waiver will at least cover you should the rental car be damaged or stolen, potentially preventing further problems later.
