Moving household goods within NZ
Move NZ (PDF of policy)
If you are moving household goods and personal effects anywhere within New Zealand, this is the policy that will be issued on-line. There are two insurance options available, but we strongly recommend Option 1 - full cover, which has a much wider scope of cover than the restrictive cover provided under option 2. Where goods are not professionally moved, cover is restricted to Option 2.
Mechanical and electrical breakdown is automatically insured for free, and there is no "pairs and sets" exclusion clause. Other providers of moving insurance usually add 10% to 20% on base premiums to delete the "pairs and sets" exclusion and include mechanical and electrical breakdown cover.
Vehicles, boats, boat trailers, motor cycles, caravans, personal watercraft, aircraft or helicopters are not insured under this policy. These would normally be insured under standard policies available with any one of a number of insurance companies operating in New Zealand. However, we will consider insuring such items in certain circumstances and on application to info@ezimove.com
