Frequently Asked Questions

How age affects excess depends on whether a driver is listed on your policy:

  • For any driver listed on your policy, we take their age into account when calculating their excess
  • If a driver under 25 isn’t listed on your policy, you will pay an additional excess called an undisclosed driver age excess.
  • If a driver aged 25+ isn’t listed on your policy, you may pay an additional excess called an undisclosed driver excess, depending on the type of cover you have.

Special note for learner drivers:

For learner drivers, any excess related to a claim when the vehicle was driven by a learner driver is based on the excess of the supervising driver.

An excess is an amount that may apply and that you may need to contribute towards the cost of a claim. Depending on your policy and the type of claim you make, different excesses may apply.

An excess usually applies for most claims unless there's someone else we can recover the costs from, like the driver of another car who caused the accident. In some cases you’ll be asked to pay the excess to the repairer or supplier. We can also deduct it from any payment we make to you.

To find out which excess type applies to your policy, please refer to your policy document or view your policy in your online account.

For more general information about excesses, see our Premium, Excess and Discounts Guide.

It's always a good idea to let us know if you've sold your vehicle. By telling us you've sold your vehicle, we can let you know if you're entitled to a refund of any unused premium, should you choose to cancel your policy at that time.

You can cancel your policy online, or by calling us on 132 132.

We cover anyone who drives your car, even if you haven't listed them on your policy.1

However, your excess may be affected if a driver isn’t listed.

  • An additional excess (known as an undisclosed driver excess) applies where a driver is 25 years of age or older and is not listed on your policy
  • A higher additional excess (known as an undisclosed driver age excess) applies if the unlisted driver is under 25 years of age
  • You won't have to pay either of these additional excesses if the driver is listed on your policy.

Special note for learner drivers:

You don't need to list learner drivers on your policy. Instead, we base any excess related to a claim when the vehicle was driven by a learner driver on the excess of the supervising driver. This excess may be higher if the supervising driver is not listed on your policy.
