Congratulations to Tower the winner of Canstar’s Home & Contents Insurer of the Year Award 2025.

This is the second year in a row that Tower has won this award, which is based on a sophisticated ratings methodology that compares costs and features across a range of insurance policies.

The award is unique because it also factors in feedback from over 2500 Kiwi insurance customers about how satisfied they are with their insurers.

Canstars Expert Panel's research covered 14 products from 11 providers, across three types of insurance:

Home & Contents Insurance
Home Only Insurance
Contents Only Insurance

And for the customer service element of the award, policyholders were asked to rate their satisfaction with their insurer across five key areas:

  • Communication
  • Comprehensiveness of cover
  • Cost
  • Customer service
  • Value for money

Awarding Tower its Home & Contents Insurer of the Year Award, Canstar’s research panel noted:

The outstanding value offered by Tower’s insurance products, especially its Standard and Plus policy options, which feature comprehensive insurance cover at market-leading pricing.

Our team also noted Tower’s strong performance when it comes to events cover, including floods, storms and earthquakes, which is particularly relevant for many Kiwi households.

Final Thought from us

It is always sensible time to review your home and contents insurance rather than simply rolling it over.

Because these are two of the biggest insurance commitments many households carry, it is worth checking not just what you are paying, but what you are getting in return.

Shopping around can help uncover better value, highlight gaps you may not have noticed, and make the most of the tools and savings available to you.

For members, that review should include considering Tower as part of the mix, especially when our member-only discount is available.
