How does Coles compare with other car insurers?
Coles offers a good range of benefits and limits at a reasonable price point in comparison to other car insurers. Plus, you can claim extra perks if you link your Flybuys.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
Price comparison data from the 2024 Finder Insurance Awards found that, on average, an annual comprehensive car insurance policy from Coles costs $1,287. This comes in under the average. While they're certainly not a high-cost or premium insurer, there are plenty of providers that offer cheaper car insurance. Keep in mind, the best car insurance for you may be based on more than price.
They are overpriced (went up $400 in one year) even if you have never had a claim.

Coles was the cheapest policy I found and offered a similar policy to other insurance companies.

They do not offer any discount for loyalty, or no-claim, so shop around others for a better deal.

I have been told no more than twice in one week, but there is nothing about this in the PDS. What does twice a week mean? What if my daughter in law borrowed it for a weekend?

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.
