Excellent cover, online application was a breeze and almost $800 LESS for my annual premium than with RACV - and I get a ton of "loyalty" discounts with RACV! I've been with RACV for over 25 years - my Landlord's premium went up $332 this year!!! I'll likely move ALL my insurances to QBE now. Show details · 1

Always a pleasure to use the QBE insurance website or speak with a consultant on the phone. Excellent Landlord Insurance cover, a reasonable premium & a company that follows through with administrative tasks; for example, posted documents, emailed… Read more · 2

You can select either email or paper information, certificate of insurance, receipt or policy documents etc. They always arrive in… Read more

Insurance is too expensive but we have no choice. This time I got discounted price because I have a Costco membership. It will be good if insurance companies reward loyal customer instead of new customer. The world we live in no reward for loyalty. Show details · 1
The online experience was simple, extra details were clarified by calling the help line. Spoke to Jess extremely helpful answered all of my questions. The landlord Insurance policy is better value than my previous insurer with better cover/ value. Many thanks Show details · 2
The website is easy to manoeuvre. The choices to individualise the product make significant differences in the price of the final product. The prices are fair. From experience, I know that the service in case of a claim is excellent. Show details · 1
It was very easy to set up new landlord insurance policy online. I’ve found that with other policies whenever I have had to talk to someone from QBE they are easy to understand, based in Australia, friendly and helpful. Show details · 1
BEWARE OF THE QBE RENEWAL TRAP! I took out my first QBE landlord insurance policy last year. The 2025 yearly premium was $2,121.66 per annum. Thankfully, never made a claim, in fact, never had to contact QBE. This year, at renewal, my yearly premium was increased by more than double, to $5,670.56. The stated reason for the increase (I quote… Read more
verbatim): This increase reflects our current assessment of the flood risk at your insured address. We appreciate a price increase is never easy to hear.
What a joke! Flood risk same as last year, mate. Did a quick check comparison online and every other major insurance provider - Hollard (CommBank), Hollard (Everyday Insurance), EBM and AIA came back with a quote close to the 2025 premium, showing that no other insurer deemed the property as having increased "flood risk".
QBE - I really wanted to renew with you, but after your disappointing (robotic?) premium renewal email, I'll be going elsewhere.
For anyone interested, EBM specialise in landlord protection so I will be going with them in 2026.
The process was surprisingly simple and quick. I've used a few online quote portals recently and some ask so many questions about every little irrelevant detail, this was very simple and efficient, and the insured sum calculation was helpful and easy to understand Show details · 1
The online application was very easy unlike some other insurers. QBE made it easy to see what was insured. The questions were straight forward. One thing to watch out for is the price between the standard QBE quote and the velocity Frequent flyer QBE quote. The quote with velocity is higher. I also liked that payment option of paying later. As… Read more · 1
I've got almost 2 weeks before I need my new policy to start, I didn't want to pay up now so the pay later option is very good. Keeping the funds in my pocket.
I would prefer renewals to be cheaper or the same price as going through the process of a new quote each year, it would show recognition of customer loyalty. I have never lodged a claim. Show details · 3
Overall, an easy request to quote but for the final stage...an email of the quotation was sent but it is only valid for the day of quotation. When I retrieved the quotation and wanted to proceed, there was a 'technical' issue and I was asked to call but only during office hours...but my quotation was made on Sunday and only valid for the day of quotation...so, it would not void by the time I call in!.

Generally quite good, will insure stuff others won't like Airbnb rented holiday homes - However, automatic renewal was not easy to alter so re started the policy to save $400. Although the proof in an insurer and their quality is when you need to make a claim which thankfully I haven't had to yet. Show details · 1

The experience of purchasing a policy online with QBE was by far the best compared to other insurers. The questionnaire was much more mature and thoughtfully designed, allowing me to provide only minimal information. It was clear that significant effort had gone into pre-populating property details from various sources, which meant I didn’t have… Read more · 1
to spend time digging through information or doing my own research.
Overall, QBE stood out as the clear winner—and the cherry on top was that the premium was significantly cheaper than the other quotes I received.
Easily to use online platform. However, I would like to give a feedback to include explanation of each selection to help with consumer understand and provide an accurate information. Show details · 1

Very user friendly website for new insurance. Quick, easy to understand and navigate. If I was unsure of any wording the "i" more information was excellent in detailing the options. I love that the system already pre filled information from data they have. For a new property I found this extremely helpful. Show details · 1

Amazing, I though Budget Direct was meant to be the cheapest, however QBE suprised me. I usually shop around, luckily this time around I read the canstar email with some recommendations and QBE was infact cheaper. Saved $278.00 for the same12 month Landlord insurance policy. Well done me. Show details · 1

My initial review: Just signed up based on reviews from Product Review. Premiums are very competitive. Hope the same experience continues when it comes to claim as well. Latest update: Sorry, I should have updated this months ago! My annual insurance was paid by the rental agent but he rounded off the amount (by 30 cents more than required as I… Read more
sent him the rounded figure!). Instead of making my policy in-force they kept sending payment reminders for outstanding premium. I had to send couple of emails to get their response as it took more than a week to get a reply.
They do not have a customer portal to view your own policy. Email response is pathetic and the only way to get to them is through phone! Finally, when I called, I luckily spoke to someone that understood the issue. She was able to raise a request to process my payment and refund the excess amount.
They raised a complaint that went into their age old processing system. I got few emails and final response after 2 months!
I am glad that I cancelled my policy within the 21 days cooling off period through the person that helped me through the phone. The one star that gave is for her.
I ended up signing with APIA, which has online account portal and all other good stuff. I will give them a good review on the product review page.
Based on my experience, I would not recommend QBE to anyone as I do not trust in their highly inefficient outdated processes and procedures.

willingness to tailor the policy to my specific needs. They took the time to explain potential risks, coverage options, and made sure I was fully protected without overpaying.
Filing documents was straightforward, and the support staff was always available to answer any questions. I truly felt like a valued customer, not just another policy number.
If you're a property owner looking for reliable, comprehensive landlord insurance with top-notch service, I highly recommend this provider. It’s rare to find a company that combines professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for their clients — but they nailed it.
