Market Scan - NZ’s #1 Insurance Comparison Tool

Market Scan is our powerful and free insurance comparison tool, designed specifically to help Kiwis easily find and understand their options. It goes beyond simple price comparison to provide analysis of policy features and coverage from 10+ NZ insurers.

It works in three simple steps:

1. You provide a few key details about what you need to insure.
2. Our smart technology instantly scans the market to find policies and quotes options.
3. You receive a clear, side-by-side comparison that shows you not just the price, but the crucial differences in coverage, benefits, and what you can claim for.

Answering the questions should take under a minute. From there Market Scan typically takes under three minutes to retrieve a number of options in real-time and generate your personalised comparison results.

You can compare quotes and policy details for a wide range of personal insurance policies in New Zealand, including:

• Car Insurance (Comprehensive; Third Party, Fire & Theft; Third Party Only)
• Home Insurance
• Contents Insurance
• Landlord Insurance
• Life Insurance
• Motorcycle Insurance

We are constantly working to add more providers and policy types to give you the most comprehensive comparison in NZ.

Market Scan tool is 100% free for you to use. There’s no obligation to purchase. We believe every New Zealander should have the ability to easily find cheaper and better insurance easily online. If you decide to purchase a policy after using our service, we may receive a commission from the insurance provider. This comes at no extra cost to you—it simply allows us to keep our service free.

The quotes you see are provided in real-time directly from the insurance providers and based on the information you enter. To get the most reliable comparison, it's important to answer the questions accurately. However, some assumptions are made so this is only a quick quote. The final price is only confirmed when you proceed with the insurer to finalise the policy where you can add in all your details and select the options you require.

It ranges from as much as $1,800+ as confirmed by verified users to potentially nothing if you discover you’re already on the best price. This varies for everyone as savings depend on your current policy, your individual circumstances, and the latest market rates. However, many Kiwis are surprised to find they can save hundreds of dollars a year for a similar level of cover. Even better, many users find they can get significantly more comprehensive coverage for a similar price to what they're already paying. The goal is to find you the best value, not just the cheapest price.

No. There are absolutely no hidden fees or charges from Quashed when you use our tool or decide to purchase a policy. Our service is completely free for consumers.

Yes, in some cases. Once you’ve chosen the insurance provider you want to purchase from on Market Scan, you will either continue to the online check-out on Quashed itself to make payment and you can see your policy instantly on your dashboard or you are redirected to the insurer’s website. We are working to integrate with more insurance companies to make the experience super seamless for you.

Market Scan is a far more comprehensive tool that does more than provide you with some information and examples that is not relevant to your situation. It doesn’t tell you about how to save money on your insurance in general, it helps you to find actual savings for you based on your information. You also have the option of using your very own insurance dashboard to track all your policies, regardless of who it is with.

Yes. Here are a couple from Google reviews and also Reddit.

“Quashed is good. I used to work in insurance and we were impressed with their system” Reddit user.

“quashed.co.nz is a good place to start, it gives quotes from a handful of companies, and there's an indicator of what online customer reviews say which is probably the closest you'll get to comparing claims experiences.” Reddit user
