Top questions from our members
Can I choose my excess?
You can choose an excess from $500 to $5,000. Just make sure you choose something you can afford to pay in the event you need a claim.
How do excesses work?
An excess is the amount of money you pay towards the cost of any claim. See your excess as a contribution you are making towards your claim. The excess reduces your premium to make it more affordable.
When an excess applies, you have to pay your basic excess plus any applicable additional excess(es).
You won't have to pay an excess if the damage to your car was caused by another car and you were not at fault, and we have the details of the other party.
Is anyone insured to drive my car?
We insure licensed drivers as well as learner drivers, as long as they are older than the minimum age listed on your Certificate of Insurance and are following the requirements of their learner license.
Internationally licenced drivers are also insured, as long as the road traffic authority in the state or territory that they drive the car in recognises the international licence and the driver complies with their licence conditions.
Although you are not required to list all drivers of your car on your policy's certificate of insurance, it's important to understand that an additional excess does apply for a driver of your car if they are not listed and under the age of 25.
How often do I pay?
You can choose to pay monthly or yearly for your car insurance. Monthly payments are slightly more expensive.
How can I get the lowest premium?
A safe driving history will go a long way. But choosing Pay As You Drive Cover or a higher excess that you can afford can also help reduce the premium you'll pay. Simply get a quote and choose the options that are best for you.
How does Pay As You Drive Cover work?
As you sign up, you can buy between 1,000km to 15,000km per year, depending on how many kilometres you think you'll drive during the period of insurance.
We'll then ask you for your start odometer reading within 14 days of the start date of your policy. Your end odometer reading will be your start odometer reading plus the number of kilometres you purchased.
Your Certificate of Insurance will show:
- the start odometer reading you gave us;
- the number of kilometres you bought; and
- your end odometer reading
Don't worry, if you think you'll drive more than the number of kilometres that you bought, you can apply to top up your kilometres during the term. Just keep in mind that we'll need to adjust your premium, too.
If you need to make a claim and your odometer reading at the time of the claim is less than your start odometer reading or greater than your end odometer reading, a $1,000 additional excess will apply.
Make sure you give us your start odometer reading within 14 days of the start date of your policy. If you need to make a claim after this time and you have not given us your start odometer reading, the $1,000 additional excess will apply. Subject to conditions and additional premiums. See our PDS for more details.
Can I choose where to get my car repaired?
If we accept your claim and the damage to your car can be repaired, we’ll arrange for your car to be repaired using trusted car repairers. We work closely with trusted car repairers to make sure they provide you with quality repairs in a timely manner.
