Other things to know
There are a few more things you should know about this policy:
- Cooling-off period. If you haven’t made a claim in the first 21 days you can cancel the policy with a full refund.
- Repayments. You can choose to pay in instalments or as a lump sum (please note that paying an annual lump sum will cost you less in the long run).
- Repairs. If your car needs repair work Bingle will always use its own repairers (these repairs come with a lifetime guarantee).
- Contributions to repairs. If Bingle agrees to pay for your repairs you may still need to pay for repairs to items not covered in the policy (such as pre-existing damage) if the repairs are necessary to get your car working again.

Hi Navi,
Thanks for getting in touch with finder. I hope all is well with you. :)
Bingle does provide car insurance for non-residents. You may click on the “Go to site” green button found in the table above. If you are still exploring other options, you may go here. On that page, you will find other insurers who can help you. There’s also a comparison table that you can use to decide which insurer is the right one for you.
Please remember that you should have a current and valid international driver’s license, although the laws for driving on these vary depending on which state you are in at the time.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers,

I’m looking for a car insurance. Do you have any special offers? My car type is alfa romeo giulietta. And another thing I concern is I would like pay monthly. How much I have to pay for each month? Thanks
Hi Emily,
Thanks for your question. Just to confirm, you have reached finder.com.au, not actually Bingle and neither do we represent them.
We are unaware if Bingle has a current special offer running. It’s a good idea to contact them directly to check. With Bingle, you can pay monthly although the total premium is a little higher when you pay in monthly instalments. As for the premium, that will commensurate the cover you plan to take. You may click the “Get Quote” button above to know how much it will come up to.
Cheers,
Liezl
