You know farming. We know rural insurance. Let’s work together.
We’ve partnered with New Zealand’s rural communities for over 150 years. Along the way, we’ve learnt a thing or two about making our policies work smarter to cover your farm, business and personal assets.

About your premiums
At Vero we strive to develop insurance policies that are accessible to as many New Zealanders and their businesses as possible. But it’s equally important that they are priced in a sustainable way, ensuring we’re able to support our customers both now and in the long term.
