AA HOME INSURANCE

More information about home insurance from the AA

The AA is established and respected for its breakdown assistance, dubbed the "fourth emergency service". However, the AA brand has now expanded to include a wide range of insurance options, including home insurance (also known as 'house insurance' or 'household insurance').

The AA is a home insurance broker that will search a panel of more than 10 leading insurers to find the best home insurance quotes available. It offers both buildings insurance and contents insurance and according to a survey of new business quotes, 10% of new customers could earn a discount of 30% if they buy online - this is applicable to the first year of the policy only.

AA contents insurance includes cover up to £40,000 (higher levels available on request), automatic new-for-old cover on most items, legal expenses cover up to £25,000 and accidental damage cover for home electrical and gas equipment and non-portable home entertainment.

The AA also offers a number of buildings insurance options including unlimited rebuilding costs (for homes with a market value up to £1 million), accidental damage covered as standard and a 24hr emergency helpline. As an additional bonus, AA home insurance will also cover up to £20,000 of accommodation costs for you and your pets if your home cannot be lived in following an event covered by your policy.
