To help give you an idea about Allianz car insurance costs, we gathered annual quotes across their various policy types. Just remember, prices are going to change based on things like your vehicle make, model and year, where the car is parked, driver's age, claim history and your address, so it's always worth comparing policies and getting a few quotes.

How we picked these
To determine these insurance costs, we sourced comprehensive, third party fire and theft & third party property damage car insurance quotes for a 30-year-old male driver living in postcode 2011 (NSW).

If I hit kangaroo in friends car but due to being on pension can’t afford gap straight away, how long do I have to put claim in through allianz ?

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for reaching out.
Generally, the insurer’s claims team will advise the policy owner when they will need to pay an excess which could be upfront or as a deduction from the claims settlement. I suggest you request the policy owner contact Allianz directly to enquire about the claims process and excess payment.
Cheers,
Liezl

Hi Barry,
Thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately, overseas visitors and non-residents are not eligible for comprehensive cover and are only able to get third party options such as CTP.
Australian Unity car insurance, underwritten by Allianz, offers two levels of cover, the freedom to choose your own repairer and an easy 24-hour claims service.
With strong cover and reasonably-priced policies, AAMI performed well in the 2024 Finder Awards. However, some popular benefits are missing and cheaper options are available.
Important information about this website
Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
