Although not mandatory in Mauritius, home insurance carries many advantages for both owners and tenants. Water overflow, fire, cyclone, flood, vandalism or even burglary... Protect your property and your personal belongings against life's hazards!
Prevention is better than cure!
On a tropical island like ours, we are vulnerable to natural disasters... Quantum Insurance Marketing Manager Dimitry Ah-Yu points out:
“At the beginning of the cyclone season, to which can be compounded the risks of torrential rains, floods, water damage, landslides or other natural disasters, home insurance is essential”.
Other disasters such as break-ins or fires can also occur, where your home and belongings can go up in smoke!
Delphine Ahnee, Acting Chief Operating Officer (General Insurance) at MUA, concurs: “A house is a lifetime investment. A good home insurance policy is therefore necessary to safeguard your belongings and to protect yourself and your family”.
All to your advantage
Home insurance compensates a resident in the form of cash paid to the holder or joint holders of the home insurance policy. The various insurance companies in Mauritius offer different packages to suit the needs and situations of their clients, allowing for compensation up to the amount of the loss incurred.
“Protecting your property is of paramount importance. With the Protect Home policy, SWAN offers its customers the peace of mind, knowing that their most valuable assets are insured. This coverage allows the insured to add personal effects, computer equipment, pets, etc., to their policy. You can take advantage of exclusive offers to sign up.

While some insurance covers compensate for material damages, others protect your loved ones if they undergo an accident within the insured home.
