Fair questions, straight answers
The things people actually ask before they pick up the phone.
What does an insurance broker actually do?
A broker works for you, not the insurer. We get to know your situation, compare cover and premiums from multiple insurers, recommend what fits, arrange the policy, and then manage it — renewals, changes and claims — on your behalf.
How much does it cost to use Shielded?
Starting a quote is free and there's no obligation. Like most brokers, we're typically paid commission by the insurer when a policy is placed, and any fees are disclosed to you before you commit. You'll always know how we're paid.
Which insurers do you work with?
We arrange cover with a range of NZ insurers and compare options for your situation rather than pushing one brand. Your broker will tell you exactly which insurers quoted and why we recommend one over another.
What information do I need to start a quote?
Just the basics: your name and contact details, plus a rough picture of what you want covered — your business, vehicles, farm or home. Your broker gathers the rest in a phone call, so you don't need paperwork to get started.
Do you handle claims for me?
Yes — that's one of the biggest reasons to use a broker. You can lodge a claim with our team 24/7, and your broker manages the insurer, the assessor and the paperwork for you from lodgement to settlement.
What happens when my policy comes up for renewal?
We review it. Before each renewal your broker re-checks your cover against your situation and the market, then recommends whether to stay or move. Your insurance keeps pace instead of quietly rolling over.
Is Shielded new to New Zealand?
The NZ brokerage is new — the group behind it isn't. Shielded is a multi-award-winning insurance and finance group founded in Australia, now bringing the same fast, personal broking to New Zealand under the Community Broker Network NZ licence.
Will I deal with a real person?
Always. It starts with a friendly phone call from an NZ-based broker, and the same team looks after you at renewal and claim time. The website starts the conversation — a human finishes it.
Get a quote. It’s free.
One minute now, one friendly phone call later — and the insurance legwork stops being your job.
