Canstar, a leading financial comparison site, has announced the recipients of its 2026 Landlord Insurance Awards, recognising insurers that offer outstanding value to Australian property investors.
The awards assess a combination of cost and features to identify policies that provide comprehensive protection without compromising affordability.
In the latest awards, AAMI and QBE have emerged as standout performers. AAMI secured the National Award for Contents Cover, reflecting its strong performance across multiple states. Additionally, AAMI received state-specific awards for Building & Contents Insurance in Queensland and Contents Cover in the Northern Territory and Victoria. Notably, AAMI's policy includes features such as motor burnout coverage for appliances and new-for-old replacement for household items, catering to the needs of unit and strata-titled property owners.
QBE was also recognised for its exceptional offerings, particularly in the realm of short-term rental coverage. The insurer's policy stands out for including protections against accidental damage by tenants and their pets, addressing common concerns for landlords in the short-term rental market.
These accolades underscore the importance of selecting landlord insurance policies that balance comprehensive coverage with cost-effectiveness. For property investors, the recognition of AAMI and QBE serves as a valuable guide in choosing insurers that align with their specific needs and risk profiles.
As the rental market continues to evolve, staying informed about top-performing insurance providers is crucial for landlords aiming to safeguard their investments. The 2026 Landlord Insurance Awards by Canstar provide a benchmark for evaluating policies that offer both value and robust protection in the dynamic Australian property landscape.
