Explore our analysis and see how you can find the best car insurance for your needs.
Ask a question
I moved 1 street, same suburb, car insurance advised additional $150 and $130 for each car payable for remaining 6 and 8 months of premium. I asked why this happens when in same suburb, reply was number of claims for actual address taken into account. I am being insured as the driver with my own unblemished history, not past tenants of a property, why is more than suburb considered? or is this just discrimination for rental property as cannot control what other drivers claim or how they drive?

I’m looking at buying comprehensive car insurance for my 23yo daughter – car previously insured in my name – I’m finding the quotes from Bingle to be $200-$400 cheaper that other insurance companies.
Am I missing something or are they really that much cheaper?

Hi,
I think you misunderstood my question. I have done all the comparisons and obtained quotes and as best as i can, i have tried to apply the same criteria to each quote. They are all much the same price, between $1100 and $1400 with the exception of Bingle. The Bingle quote, depending in the variable excess, is around $830 – $950, roughly $200-$400 cheaper than the others.
I have been through the pds for Bingle and it appears to be no different to the other companies so i was wondering, with your experience, whether you know of any reason why Bingle is substantially cheaper?
Thanks,
Peter
Hi Peter,
Thank you for clarifying that.
I understand. Bingle car insurance is issued by AAI Limited, which is part of the Suncorp Group. They are one of the company car insurances that we feature on our site. There is no need to worry. The fact that they are cheaper than others, that is one of their plus points to car insurance seekers. You may check more info on these page reviews:
Be sure to read through the terms, conditions, and features of the policies you’re interested to ensure you’re getting the right one for you.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,
Rench
I love all the options displayed but looking for comprehensive with road side assistance in all states. Can I have this as an add on option?
Hi Mandy,
finder.com.au is a comparison and information service and not actually an insurer.
The table on our comprehensive car insurance page lists some of the insurers in our panel who provide cover for 24/7 roadside assistance.
You can also get in touch with your chosen insurer directly and confirm if they can provide the cover you’re looking for.
All the best,
Zubair
