How to Make a Claim for Cyclone Damage

Cyclone season can be tough for homeowners, which is why house insurance with optional special benefit cyclone cover is important to take out before the damage is done.

If you do have house insurance with cyclone cover, and your house has been damaged in a storm, then it’s time to make a claim!

What is a claim?

Making a claim through your insurance provider means that you’re asking for coverage or compensation for the damage caused by the event that you’re covered for. So in this case, you’ll be claiming compensation for your cyclone damaged home. Here are 5 reasons why house insurance is a great idea to help protect you and the family.
