    I am currently with EBM but do review what other options are available at renewal time. A broker has recommended Hollard Insurance and they do appear to be comparable to EBM in many regards although the excesses are slightly higher.

    I am not unhappy with EBM but if there is something else better out there, its worth at least investigating

    So, is anyone with Hollard, and if so what have your experiences been? Also, if you were with Hollard and went to EBM (and vice versa), are you now better off?

    Thanks in advance

    Their website does not even mention landlord policies. Or short stay. I believe they sell whitelabel polices that others sell for a fee.

    They appear to be a manager of a number of retails policies eg woolworths, kogan and so on. Many health insurers.

    I dont believe EBM are eligible for this ranking report...EBM may elaborate. This isnt uncommon with ranking reports. They are often designed to rank "retail"" rather than specialist products. They certainly seem to mention the major insurers a lot

    Sorry Paul, I'll look into what you said but was this a positive for Kogan, EBM or Hollard?
    Thanks

    There has previously been a Kogan thread and although as a general rule avoid direct comparisons like the plague, I did do one in this thread due to the queries raised.

    Kogan Landlords Insurance
