AIA will also cover for third party liability up to RM50,000 - in case someone got injured within your premise and claim for it. Also, should you plan to rent out your house, you will be indemnified up to 10% of total sum insured when your tenant failed to pay monthly rental.

What about content insurance coverage?

Under a standalone Householder Insurance package, AIA will compensate you in the event of loss and damage to your household content due to main perils mentioned above. The best part about this package is that your valuable items will be indemnified based on a Reinstatement Value, albeit not all of them.

In extension to that, you will also receive cash assistance to up to RM2,000 in any one period of insurance to cover for out of pocket expenses due to any insured perils, automatic protection on newly purchased items up to RM20,000, and cash replacement of up to RM500 due to fire or forced and violent theft.
