Frequently asked questions
Yes, you can. The calculation provided is just a guide. It's your responsibility to ensure your home is insured for its full replacement value. However, if you insure your home or contents for more than the cost to repair, replace, or rebuild, CGU will only pay the actual cost of repairing, replacing, or rebuilding.
Yes, you can choose who repairs your home. However, if you decide not to use one of CGU’s partner repairers, they won't be able to guarantee the workmanship or repairs that are completed, nor assist in managing the repairer regarding timeframes or quality. CGU will also only pay you the fair and reasonable amount that the repairs should cost.
