Step 1: Choose your level of cover
When choosing your level of cover, consider the value of your car and how much cover you’d like. For full details, see the Cover Comparison table below. Consider whether you could pay the replacement cost of your vehicle or someone else’s in case of an accident. There are three levels of cover to choose from.

|---|---|---|
Comprehensive |
This cover offers the broadest and most flexible protection, and covers you for loss or damage to your vehicle as a result of an accident, fire or theft. Includes cover for liability if your vehicle is involved in an incident causing loss or damage to someone else's vehicle or property. For a list of the inclusions, see the ‘Inclusions’ table. |
Consider this level of cover if your car is relatively new, or high in value or a leased vehicle, or if you need cover for a motorcycle, trailer or horse float. |
Third Party Fire & Theft |
This covers your car or motorcycle for damage as a result or fire or theft. Includes cover for liability if your vehicle is involved in an incident causing loss or damage to someone else's vehicle or property. |
You might consider this insurance if your car has a lower value and you prefer a lower premium but still want cover for fire and theft. |
Third Party Property Damage |
Basic cover for liability if your vehicle is involved in an incident causing loss or damage to someone else's vehicle or property. |
This level of cover has the lowest premium, and protects your legal liability. |
To compare the policies and the inclusions for each level of cover, see ‘Inclusions’.
Step 2: Choose your policy
Save on your premium by only paying for what you need. You can choose from three policies, so you can save if your car is driven by up to two nominated drivers only.
- Motor vehicle Insurance - a flexible policy for your car, motorcycle, trailer, or horse float
- Nominated Driver Motor Vehicle Insurance (cars only) - your premium will be calculated on the basis that your car will only be driven by no more than two drivers who are 25 years or over
- Nominated Driver Low Kilometre Motor Vehicle Insurance (cars and Comprehensive cover only) - your premium will be calculated on the basis that your car will only be driven by no more than two drivers who are 25 years or over, and will not be driven more than 10,000 kilometres during your period of insurance.
