Nature of This Service
BreakdownInsurance.co.nz is operated by Cover4You as an independent information and comparison service for mechanical breakdown insurance (MBI) in New Zealand. We are not an insurance company, underwriter, or licensed financial adviser. We do not sell insurance products directly. Our service is to compare leading MBI providers based on publicly available information and link users directly to those providers' own websites.
Cover4You is not regulated as a financial advice provider under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The insurance products we reference are offered by independently licensed insurers and underwriters who operate under their own regulatory obligations.

- Financial advice or a financial advice service
- Insurance advice or a recommendation to purchase any specific product
- A quotation, offer, or contract of insurance
You should always seek independent professional advice from a licensed financial adviser or insurance broker before purchasing any insurance product. They can assess your specific circumstances and provide personalised recommendations.
