What is Home Emergency cover?

Home emergency cover is an extra level of cover you can add to your home insurance policy, to make sure you get extra quick assistance in an emergency. We will arrange for an approved tradesperson to come to your home and do the work needed as quickly as possible.
 
  • Home Emergency cover means we arrange and pay for approved tradespeople to help you in an emergency and then carry out repairs.
  • Home Emergency can be added to Allianz Home Insurance as an optional extra – it offers protection if you have a home emergency.
  • There’s no excess and you’ll have up to £1,000 per emergency to cover call out fees, labour and parts.
  • When you add our emergency cover, you’ll be able to call us so we can let you know what to do in an emergency to help keep your home, and the people in it, safe.
  • If your home’s not fit to live in after an emergency, you’ll have up to £250 towards somewhere to stay for you, your family and any domestic pets.
