The Platform Helping Kiwis Find Better, Cheaper Insurance

Quashed.co.nz - The Platform Helping Kiwis Find Better, Cheaper Insurance

Have you ever wondered whether you’re paying too much for your insurance? Most New Zealanders are, and many don’t even realise it. 

With premiums climbing sharply in recent years, thousands of Kiwis are now turning to Quashed.co.nz, the country’s fastest-growing online insurance platform, to finally see how their policies stack up.

Insurance doesn’t have to feel opaque or overwhelming. With Quashed.co.nz, you can compare, shop and track all your insurance in one secure place. As of November 2025, over 90,000 Kiwis have already joined to shop smarter and save more.

At the heart of Quashed is Market Scan, a powerful tool that provides real-time, personalised quotes across 10+ insurers. Rather than re-entering your details with multiple companies, you enter your information once.

Market Scan helps customers find better or more affordable insurance by comparing prices, explaining coverage differences, and clarifying claim options. Users can also upload their existing policies to easily track costs and manage all their insurance information in one place.

Founded by Justin Lim, a former banker who helped launch innovative digital banking solutions for ANZ and BNZ across New Zealand and Singapore, Quashed is backed by prominent investors including Icehouse Ventures, Turners Automotive Group and New Zealand Growth Capital Partners (NZ Govt Fund).

Quashed is free for consumers to sign up and use. With insurance premiums for cars, houses and contents rising 51% on average in the past three years (from $3,288 in 2022 to $4,966 in 2025), the need for comparison tools has never been greater.

Quashed tracks insurance trends through its own Quashed Insurance Index.

It helps Kiwis not just find cheaper policies, but better-matched cover based on their real needs. Importantly, the platform allows you to compare across both major, well-known insurers (like AA, State, Tower) and challenger brands (such as Cove, Provident, Initio), helping you access a broader insurance market.

Consumers are finding savings of around $1,200 a year when comparing and shopping for their insurance, and 8 in 10 consumers are discovering savings compared to their existing car and contents policies. 

Today, Quashed.co.nz stands as New Zealand’s fastest-growing online platform helping consumers compare, shop and save on their insurance. The platform is free to use and has attracted more than 90,000 subscribers in New Zealand since launching in 2021.
