Australian Seniors car insurance provides cover tailored to seniors. They offer the standard Comprehensive, Third Party Property, Fire and Theft, and Third Party Property Damage policies, plus a Pay-As-You-Drive policy for those who don't drive much. Australian Seniors car insurance might be a good choice for you if you’re older, don’t drive your car as much or are after a seniors’ discount.
We don't currently have this brand on our panel. But don't fret! You can head to the Australian Seniors website or compare a bunch of other car insurance companies with finder.
Third Party Property Damage. If you’re seeking simple cover, Third Party Property Damage insurance protects you against any accidental damage to other people's cars and property.
Third Party Property, Fire and Theft. Offering the same cover as Third Party Property Damage with additional protection against fire and theft, or attempted theft.
Comprehensive. Comprehensive policies cover everything from accidental damage to fire and theft, emergency repairs and even damage to your personal belongings, and come with a range of optional offers (see below).
Pay as You Drive. If you’re seeking Comprehensive cover but don’t use your car much, you can save with Pay as You Drive insurance. Providing the same level of cover, your premiums will be based on the distance you estimate you’ll drive in the period of the policy.

What additional cover options are there?
Excess-free windscreen cover. The cost of replacing or repairing your windscreen is covered if your windscreen is accidentally broken or damaged. With this optional extra your first windscreen claim in any one period of insurance will be excess free. This option only applies to claims where damage is limited to the windscreen, sunroof or window glass.
Hire car cover. If your car is unavailable due to damage or theft, hire car cover provides you with an approved hire car, to a limit of $50 per day, until repairs are completed on your car or you have reached the maximum hire period shown on your Certificate of Insurance, whichever happens first.
Roadside assistance. This is available as an optional service with all insurance policies and also available as standalone cover. This option gives you access to 24-hour roadside assistance service.
What exclusions are there?
As with all insurance policies, there are a number of exclusions you need to keep in mind when selecting your cover. Your claim may be rejected if:
You lie or provide misleading information on your claim
You failed to secure your car or you leave it in an unsafe location
You fail to report the incident to the police as soon as possible in cases of theft, malicious damage or a serious accident
The person driving your car was under the influence of drugs or alcohol
The driver is younger than the age restriction of your policy
Your car was being used in an illegal way or for criminal activities
Your car was being used for business, taxi or rideshare purposes
Your car was carrying passengers or loads over the legal limit
You deliberately caused or authorised the damage or loss
Your car was damaged or lost outside of Australia
What excess do I need to pay?
If you make a claim and are considered responsible or at fault for the accident, you will be required to pay the applicable excess. The amount of the excess will vary depending on the damage and situation of the incident. Your Certificate of Insurance will show the amount and types of excess that apply to your policy. A claim is only accepted if the total amount you are claiming for is more than any excesses that apply to your claim.
How do I make a claim?
Secure your car and contact any services you may need (ambulance, police or roadside assistance). Gather all details, including full names, contact numbers, licence and registration details for all drivers involved, and lodge your claims by calling 131 343.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands 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. You can learn more about how we make money.
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.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan and read any disclosure documents (such as any Target Market Determination (TMD) and/or Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)) issued by the provider before making a decision.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
