FAQs

Popular questions

The Worldwide Personal Liability Benefit of this Plan provides coverage up to HKD10,000,000 for the policyholder or his/her family members who are legally liable for accidents, including accidental incidents such as objects falling from height caused by negligence, and damage to shop property. 

This Plan can protect both yours and the former tenant's decoration. If you want to protect the fixtures and fittings provided by the developer, you can choose to add "Developer’s Fixtures and Fittings" (optional benefits) when you apply. You only need to pay extra HKD30 per month to enjoy this additional all-risk protection, which covers the damage to the fixtures and fittings provided by the developer due to accidents. Items in coverage are limited to flooring, skirting, wall and ceiling paint works, wall tiles, iron gate, doors and door frames.

No, this Plan only provides protection for household contents (e.g. furniture, decoration, electrical appliances and personal belongings), excluding building structure, fixtures and fittings provided by the developer, such as floors, walls, doors and bathroom sanitary ware. The building structure is usually covered under the Fire Insurance Plan.

The legal liability arising from the property damage of buildings or other units caused by an accidental bursting of pipes within the insured property can generally be covered under the Worldwide Personal Liability Benefit.

Application

Yes, but the coverage only includes the owner's home contents within the insured address, loss of alternative accommodation / rental, replacement of doors and windows, door locks and keys due to home burglary or theft, and Worldwide Personal Liability Benefit (subject to outbound travel not exceeding 30 days).

Managing policy

No, your policy will be automatically renewed.

Claims

If the home is unoccupied for 30 consecutive days or above, no claims will be paid for the loss of household contents, unless the loss is caused by fire, lightning, explosion, earthquake, typhoon, windstorm and flood. 
However, if the insured or his/her family members successfully apply for the Travelsure Protection Plan (including Single Trip Cover / Annual Global Cover / Annual China Cover) during the period of insurance under Home Care Plus Home Insurance, the coverage period will automatically extend to the entire journey (up to 180 days for a Single Trip, and up to 60 days for an Annual Global Cover / Annual China Cover), for household contents section and developer’s fixtures and fittings section only.

No, you can only claim either actual loss of rent or alternative accommodation arranged to the tenant whichever is lower.
