Welcome to Maitai Insurance Brokers
We are proud to be a Member Broker of Insurance Advisernet NZ.

What we do
Established in 2024, we provide insurance solutions to Commercial and Domestic Fire & General insurance clients across New Zealand. Whether you require simple House, Contents, and Motor covers, or more comprehensive business insurance solutions, we are here to help!
HOUSE & CONTENTS
Protect your home and everything in it. Whether it’s your own home, a rental, or holiday property, house insurance covers damage from events like fire, storms, earthquakes, and theft. Contents insurance covers your personal belongings – furniture, electronics, valuables, and more – both at home and away. With the right covers and sums insured, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you can repair, rebuild, or replace what matters most.
MOTOR COVERS
Private and commercial vehicle insurance protects everything on wheels against accidental damage, theft, and liability. From your personal car, motorcycle, trailer, horse float, to a fleet of business vehicles, the right cover helps keep you on the road and financially protected. Coverage includes repairs, third-party liability, and support if your vehicle is off the road.
RURAL
Protect your lifestyle block and farm, and your way of life. Rural insurance covers key assets including buildings, machinery, tools, and vehicles, as well as livestock. Rural Liability insurance protects you against accidental damage, loss or injury caused to others due to your lifestyle or farming operations. With tailored cover for everything from shearing sheds to tractors, you can keep your operations running smoothly – whatever comes your way.
BUSINESS
Commercial insurance protects your business from financial loss due to unexpected events. Core cover typically includes Material Damage for physical assets, Business Interruption to support cashflow after disruptions, and tailored Liability Packages to safeguard against legal and third-party risks. Ensure you’re well positioned to help keep your business running with confidence.
