Great for price: Virgin third party property damage car insurance

Our verdict

Virgin is consistently one of the cheapest third party policies available. Our team got 250 quotes for third-party car insurance from 20 popular providers. Virgin was the joint cheapest on average across all major states.

- It cost an average of $37 per month in our research.
- It was $13 a month cheaper than the average price.
- It covers up to $5,000 worth of damage caused by an uninsured driver.
- Budget Direct was only a few cents more.
- Like other third-party policies, it does not cover damage to your own car.
- This is third party only cover; not third party, fire and theft.

Our team gathered 250 quotes from 20 different third-party car insurance policies across NSW, QLD, VIC, SA and WA. The car model used for all quotes was a 2007 Mazda 3 Neo BK Series 2 Auto 5DR hatchback.
Virgin emerged as the most affordable policy on average. Providers available in only one state, such as RAA, weren't included in the comparison.
It's important to note that while our team conducted extensive research, Virgin may not necessarily be the cheapest policy for every individual. Various factors such as location, driving history, age, and gender can influence the price of a policy.

Great for value: Budget Direct third party property damage car insurance

Our verdict

Budget Direct was the second cheapest third party policy, according to our research. To be exact, it was $1 more a year than Virgin! They're virtually the exact same policy but Budget Direct has more positive online reviews, so is still worth calling out.

- It's one of the cheapest third party property damage policies.
- You can lower costs further by restricting drivers.
- Comparatively good reviews online.
- There's a 15% sign-up discount but it only applies for the first year.
- Like other third party policies, it doesn't cover damage to your own car.
- It may cost you more if there's a younger driver on the policy.

Our team got 250 quotes across 20 different third party car insurance policies. We got quotes in NSW, QLD, VIC, SA and WA. The car model we used for all quotes was a 2007 Mazda 3 Neo BK Series 2 Auto 5DR hatchback.
Budget Direct was the second cheapest policy on average. We selected it as our value pick because it has good online reviews and scored highly in the Finder Customer Satisfaction awards.
Keep in mind, while our team did a lot of research, Budget Direct may not be the best value policy for you. There are lots of things that can impact the price of a policy such as where you live, your driving history, age and gender.
