Bachcare

Bachcare & Initio have teamed up to provide bach owners with an extensive holiday home insurance policy that covers the property, its contents, and guest risk.

Bachcare has selected initio as its insurance partner because initio understands holiday homes. Unlike, many other insurers the initio policy is designed to cover the risks associated with short-staying guests.

As a Bachcare member, you’ll receive:

  • Competitive House Insurance Premium

Key requirements for accessing the initio offer:

  1. You must be an active Bachcare member.
  2. You must use the specific link initio.co.nz/bachcare to receive these benefits. Signing up through the general initio.co.nz website will not provide access to this offer.
