What is car insurance?

Car insurance protects you against financial loss for damages resulting from car accidents, theft, weather events and other unforeseen costs according to your policy type. A car insurance policy helps pay for the cost of damage to cars, property, and even people.

What does car insurance cover?

It can cover you if you cause personal injury in an accident or if you damage property or another vehicle. If you opt for a higher level of coverage, you may also be covered for the repair or replacement costs of your vehicle as a result of collisions, fire, theft, and weather events. Most policies will vary in coverage (and price), which is why it’s important to review your options carefully.

Frequently asked questions

The cost of insurance depends on the type of cover you hold (i.e. Third Party Property, Third Party Fire & Theft or Comprehensive), and how risky you are to insure, meaning premiums can vary.

When using our online comparison, we ask you to enter certain details to help you find products that may suit your needs and budget. Each of these questions can impact your premiums in some way, including:

• Your claims history
• Your address
• Where your car is parked (i.e. in a garage or on the street)
• Your driving history (and the driving history of other listed drivers).

With several different types of car insurance out there to choose from, it can be hard to keep track of what each one may or may not cover. Of course, the inclusions, benefits and optional extras available may vary between the many providers out there, so you should always read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) of any insurance policy before purchasing it.

To help you understand the types of car insurance, we’ve compiled the following table as a simple way to compare them; however, the information in this table should be used as a guide only. Just so you’re aware, the table’s information is based on quotes for each type of insurance from Budget Direct, Virgin Money and Australia Post for a 2010 Mazda 3 sedan driven for personal use by a female driver born in 1985 with a Rating 1 NCD.

‘Extras’ are inclusions or perks bundled into car insurance policies that are competing for your business. Otherwise known as ‘benefits’, some common extras you may find incorporated into your policy are:

• Hire car cover. Your insurer may provide you with a hire car when your vehicle is being repaired or replaced.
• Roadside assistance. Your insurer may waive roadside assistance membership fees upon taking out cover.
• Replacement keys. Your insurer may cover the cost to replace your keys if you were to misplace them.
• Windscreen cover. Your insurer may cover the cost of repairs or replacement, including cracks to your windscreen.
• Personal effects cover. Your insurer may cover the cost to replace your valuables in your car (up to a certain value).

Depending on your insurer, there are various extras available when taking out car cover. Like all insurance products, it’s important to understand the fine print when choosing extras, so that you fully understand what you’re covered for, and how adding extras may affect the cost of your premium.

You can potentially save on premiums by:

1. Paying for your premiums annually. As opposed to monthly or quarterly.
2. Increasing your basic excess. If you increase your excess, you can typically reduce the cost of your premiums. However, be aware that if you need to claim, you will be paying a greater amount in excess.
3. Place age exclusions. This means you can limit drivers to a certain age (i.e. drivers under 25 or 30). In theory, older drivers are generally more experienced, and therefore, less risky to insure.
4. Drive less. Some insurers will reduce your premium if you’re a low kilometer driver: typically under 15,000km each year.
5. Compare often. You might have been on a great value deal a few years ago, but have you reviewed your options lately? Perhaps something cheaper has come along that offers the same benefits, but you won’t know unless you shop around.

Always disclose as much information to your insurer as possible; if you decide to hide your claims history, for example, your cover could be cancelled or future claims could be denied.

Excess is the amount you’ll pay your insurer when you make a claim on your policy. This excess is agreed upon when you first take out the policy. When you make a claim, you will pay this amount, while your insurer will pay the rest of your repair/replacement costs up to the agreed amount on your policy.

There are different types of car excess:

• Standard excess. Paid out of pocket when you make a claim.
• Voluntary excess. Paid in addition to your other excess charges, sometimes for a cheaper premium.
• Age/inexperienced driver excess. A separate excess for less experienced and/or younger drivers.
• Unlisted driver excess. If you have to claim on your policy, but the driver wasn’t listed on the policy, you may have to pay an additional excess (if you are even covered at all).
• Additional excesses. Other additional excesses may also apply depending on the product you have chosen.

If you are not-at-fault in an accident, you may not be required to pay an excess. The exception to this rule is when the at-fault party is not identified. For example, say you’re involved in a hit and run and the guilty party is not found or identified, you may still be required to pay the excess.

To confirm all excesses that may apply to you, be sure to check your Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and Insurance Certificate.

Liability refers to the person who is legally responsible, or at-fault, in an accident. For example, you may be liable for third-party damage if you didn’t give way and collided with a vehicle that was already on a roundabout.

Compulsory Third Party (CTP or Green Slip cover) is the only form of car insurance that covers your legal liability if you’re at-fault in an accident where another person is injured or dies.

Classic car insurance is a broad term referring to a product that covers classic, vintage or prestige vehicles. It is broken down into a variety of specific types:

• Veteran. For car enthusiasts who own automobiles made between 1905 and 1919.
• Vintage. Covers cars made between 1919 and 1930.
• Prestige. For high-end European or UK-produced sports cars or ‘supercars’ associated with ‘status’ owners.
• American Classics.Covers the owners of US-made ‘muscle cars’ typically manufactured between the late 1970s – early 1980s.

Many variables determine car insurance premiums, including:

• age
• location
• car model
• average kilometres driven per year
• car modifications
• driving and claim history

With these factors in mind, it’s difficult to calculate average prices when every policy is different. However, to give you an idea of how much car insurance may cost in your area, we completed some quotes through our comparison tool for a 42-year-old female driving a 2010 Mazda 3.

As you can see in the table below, prices for comprehensive policies can vary significantly, which is why it’s important to shop around for a policy that suits your lifestyle.

State/territory	Least expensive premium (per year and per our panel of insurers)	Most expensive premium (per year and per our panel of insurers)	Average premium (per year and per our panel of insurers )
NSW	$654.06	$914.66	$741,13
