What our claims data shows in Queensland

NRMA Insurance claims data shows the types of incidents behind motor claims in Queensland. Collision and glass damage accounted for the largest shares of claims in FY26, while hail, storm and flood damage made up a larger share than in FY25.5

Collision accounted for 51% of claims

Collision was the largest motor claim category in our Queensland data, accounting for 51% of claims in FY26. This can include incidents such as rear-end collisions, hitting stationary objects or colliding with animals.5

Around 1 in 4 claims involved glass damage

Glass damage was the second-largest motor claim category in Queensland, accounting for 26% of claims in FY26. That’s around 1 in every 4 claims and can include damage to windscreens, windows and sunroofs.5

Weather-related claims increased in FY26

Hail, storm and flood damage accounted for 10% of Queensland motor claims in FY26, compared with 3% in FY25. This means these events represented a larger share of the state’s motor claim mix in FY26.5

Why get Car Insurance in QLD?

Queensland drivers can choose from different levels of Car Insurance with us. Comprehensive Car Insurance is our highest level of cover. We also offer Third Party Fire & Theft Insurance and Third Party Property Damage.

Unlike Compulsory Third Party (CTP) Insurance, which is included in your Queensland vehicle registration, these covers are optional, so you can choose the level of cover that suits you and your vehicle.

Queensland drivers face a range of conditions, from busy Brisbane traffic to long stretches of regional highway.

Depending on where you travel, severe storms, flooding, tropical weather and wildlife can all pose unexpected risks. Whether you're commuting or heading off on a road trip, the right level of cover can help protect you against the unexpected.

What you're covered for depends on the policy you choose, so check the PDS for details.

CTP in Queensland

You’ll select and pay for your CTP insurance as part of your vehicle registration, if you’re a vehicle owner in Queensland. 

The Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC) regulates and monitors the scheme, which provides third-party injury cover only.

It's important to note that CTP insurance in Queensland does not cover injury to at-fault drivers, damage to your own car or someone else’s property. To learn more, visit MAIC.

FAQs

QLD Car Insurance FAQs

Some drivers may choose to get protection for their car and even add options such as excess-free windscreen cover. Other drivers may choose to get basic protection for things like damage to other people’s cars or property. We have car insurance options for a range of preferences. 

You can read about our 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 Queensland, 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.
