FAQs

NT Car Insurance FAQs

Some drivers may choose to get protection for things like damage to their car or to other people’s cars or property.

We offer a range of car insurance options you can choose from with different levels of cover, including Comprehensive Car Insurance, Third Party Fire & Theft Insurance and Third Party Property Damage Insurance.

And that’s not all. For classic cars, there’s Classic Car Insurance, and we even have insurance for other vehicles like caravans and motorcycles. 

Comprehensive Car Insurance is optional. It offers a broader range of cover than Third Party Fire & Theft Insurance and Third Party Property Damage Insurance, as third party insurance doesn’t cover your car if you accidentally damage it.

Our Comprehensive Car Insurance covers your car for accidental damage, collision or crash, severe weather, theft, vandalism and malicious acts. It also covers the extras on your car like alloy wheels, sunroofs and even baby seats.

You have various options to choose from for your car insurance in the NT, so you should consider which level of protection would best suit your needs.

For full details including limits, conditions and exclusions, read the policy documents.

Terms and conditions apply, so check the relevant policy documents to understand your cover.
