Comparing car insurance?

Here’s some things to consider when choosing a policy.

While price is important, it’s not the only thing to consider when you’re choosing a policy. Here’s a few other ideas to keep in mind:

  • Car age and value: Do you have a new car you recently purchased, or an older vehicle with a lot of mileage? Sometimes it’s worth considering how much your car is worth against what you might be paying for insurance. You may want to check whether a policy has an agreed or market value arrangement when making a decision on your policy.

  • Other drivers: Will there be more than one person driving the car? Sometimes, a different excess will apply depending on who’s behind the wheel at the time of an accident. For example, an age excess can be added to a policy if a young driver (under 25) is going to be driving the car.

  • Location: Different road risks can apply to different areas, and this may impact your decision on what level of cover you want to choose.

  • Crime statistics: Did you know that in 2023-24, around 72,000 Australian households had a motor vehicle stolen? Depending on where you’re located, this may be a risk worth considering when choosing a policy. For example, Third Party Property Damage won’t cover a stolen vehicle claim, so if this is important to you, you may want to consider a Comprehensive policy or Third Party Fire and Theft instead.

  • Your budget in the event of a claim: Accidents happen and unexpected costs can be stressful. Assess the cost of insurance against how much you think you could afford to pay in the event of a collision.

When buying car insurance, consider your budget, the types of claims you’re most likely to face and how they might impact you if you’re not covered.

To compare car insurance policies, consider:
