You can locate your policy number on your Certificate of Insurance.

Whilst this is handy for Chubb to have, you don’t need your policy number to start your claim. You can lodge your claim online, provide information about the event that has occurred and then one of Chubb’s claims specialists will get in touch with you to help locate your policy number.

The Qikio Contents Insurance policy is issued and underwritten by Chubb. A world wide recognised company that our customers can trust.

Your excess is the amount you pay toward the cost of your claim for each incident covered by your policy.

Your excess is shown on your certificate of insurance and applies to all claims unless your policy states otherwise.

You can be asked to contribute this cost upfront, or it can be deducted from an amount that Chubb pays you.

An Unoccupied Excess will also apply if at the time of the instance covered by your policy, your home has been unoccupied for more than 60 continuous days.

Absolutely! during your quote, prior to purchasing your policy, you can select an excess that best suits your budget. The higher your excess, the cheaper your premium is.

You are required to pay the premium on or before the Policy Start Date. You can choose to pay your premium annually or in monthly instalments, which Chubb can direct debit from the debit or credit card that you nominate.

The annual premium or the first monthly premium (as applicable) will be debited from your nominated account or credit card on or before the Policy Start Date and on the same day of each subsequent month for policies paid by instalment.

You can contact Chubb on 1800 952 357 to make changes to your policy, or email qikioservice@chubb.com.

The policy will cover your contents for loss or damage caused by flood.

Flood means the covering of normally dry land by water that has escaped or been released from the normal confines of any lake, river, creek or other natural watercourse (whether or not these have been altered or modified), reservoir, canal or dam.

Contents means personal property kept at the insured property location that you or a family member own. This includes things like unfixed carpets, clothing, and furniture.

When nominating the contents insured amount, please include the replacement cost of your valuables (such as jewelry and watches), art and antiques, and electronic contents (such as music or computer game collection) when selecting the contents insured amount. Limits and exclusions apply (including $2,000 per item and $5,000 in total for valuables, and for art antiques). Please refer to the PDS for full details.
