Lawn Mower Insurance FAQs

Can you insure a ride-on lawn mower?

Yes, ride-on lawn mowers can be insured under equipment insurance or tool insurance policies in New Zealand. Coverage typically includes theft, accidental damage, fire, and vandalism. Commercial lawn care businesses should include ride-on mowers in their business equipment insurance.

How much does lawn mower insurance cost?

Lawn mower insurance is priced per application based on equipment value, use, and storage. Premiums vary between insurers.

Is my lawn mower covered by home insurance?

Personal lawn mowers may be covered under home contents insurance, but usually with limited sub-limits and only while at your home. Commercial mowers used for business are not covered by home insurance and need separate equipment or tool insurance. Check your contents policy wording for the specific sub-limit on garden / outdoor equipment.

What if my mower is stolen from a job site?

Commercial lawn mower insurance covers theft from job sites, not just your property. Make sure your policy includes "away from premises" coverage if you're a mobile lawn care operator. Document the theft with police and your insurer for a smooth claims process.

Does insurance cover mechanical breakdown?

Standard equipment insurance typically doesn't cover mechanical breakdown from normal wear and tear. However, accidental damage is covered. Some policies offer breakdown cover as an add-on. Manufacturer warranties cover defects, while insurance covers theft and accidents.
