Beyond Bank Car Insurance Review
Beyond Bank's policies are issued by one of the biggest insurers in Australia, which is more comprehensive than others – but you may find a cheaper policy elsewhere.
Its policies are issued by Allianz – one of Australia's most well-known and trusted insurers.
You get a 10% discount when you buy a comprehensive policy online.
Its comprehensive option goes further than other insurers – for example, you can get a $100 per day limit, up to 30 days for a rental car if your vehicle is stolen.
Cons
You may be able to get a cheaper policy elsewhere e.g. with Budget Direct or AAMI.
It doesn't offer third party fire and theft insurance.
Like most insurers, you'll need to pay extra to remove the basic excess for windscreen replacement or repairs.
