Advice

As New Zealand’s leading rural insurer, we know a fair bit about the type of accidents that lead to claims each year in rural and provincial New Zealand. We use that data to create specialised risk advice to help you make good calls.

House fires

While insurance is there to cover damage to the physical structure and contents of your house, at FMG, we also know the emotional toll of losing your home to a fire.

That’s why we want to help you reduce risks around your home and prevent fires from starting in the first place.

Cool tips

Dairy

We know dairy farmers have a lot to do and the last thing they need is an accident stopping them in their tracks. So, we've used our claims data to help them avoid the common risks and accidents on farm.

Sheep and beef

Our sheep and beef farmers have a lot to do in a day so we've looked at common claims and put together advice to help them avoid damages and loss on farm.

On farm

At home

At FMG, we know a home is so much more than a roof over your head which is why we've put together advice to make sure you have the right level of cover and can reduce the risk of fires, theft and other accidents.
