Finder Score for car insurance
We analyse over 30 car insurance products across insurance providers, and rate each one for price and features. We collect up to 36 quotes per product, for male and female drivers in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia.

- There are some key features you may like to consider when insuring your hybrid.
How much does insurance cost for hybrid cars?
To help you understand how hybrid cars are priced in comparison to fuel cars, we've gotten quotes for both. Keep in mind, the cost of car insurance varies hugely based on a range of factors, including:
- The model of your car and how much it's worth
- Your age, gender, location
- Your driving record
- Your insurance history, like any previous claims you've made
- What level of insurance you pick and if you add optional extras

Features to consider when buying car insurance for hybrids
You might like to consider the following features and benefits when searching for car insurance:
- Choice of repairer: If you have a trusted mechanic that knows the ins and outs of hybrid cars, you might like to opt for an insurer that lets you pick your own repairer. This means you can take your car to them in the event of an accident, rather than have your car repaired by another mechanic in the insurer's network.
- Agreed value: If your hybrid car cost you a pretty penny, it could be worth considering an agreed value. This is when you and your insurer agree on how much the car is worth in the event of a write off. Using agreed value can ensure your car is paid out for what you paid for it and not just what the market deems its value to be at the time of an accident.
- Charging specific contents: If your hybrid requires plug in charging then you might like to opt for an insurer that lists this equipment as covered. It's typically a feature of EV specific insurance but might be relevant to you based on the model of your vehicle.
Our expert says
Our expert says
"Insuring a standard hybrid vehicle shouldn't be difficult - it should be like insuring any other vehicle. So treat it as such. Spend time comparing your options — I like to collect a minimum of 5 quotes to get an idea of the costs out there, then I focus on what the actual differences between the policies are to help me find the best value one for my needs."
