Safety net home protection

There are times when the cost of repairing or replacing a home exceeds what you’ve insured it for. At Suncorp Insurance, we know that this can happen. That’s why with Safety Net Home Protection, if your home is damaged and the cost of repairing or replacing it is more than your home sum insured, you can potentially be covered for some of the unexpected costs that exceed the home sum insured. Learn more about this optional coverage below.
