    Finder Score for car insurance

    We analyse over 100 car insurance products and rate each one on price and features. What we get out the other end is a nice round number between 1 and 10 to help you start comparing.

    To make sure we're comparing apples with apples, we collect quotes for 8 different personas, then work out the value of 19 different car insurance features. Our team then does some fancy maths to get the Finder Score, taking both price and features into account.

    Price

    According to Finder's 2024 car insurance awards research, NAB's premiums were 24% cheaper than average. However, young drivers benefited the most. Drivers in their 20s and 30s saw premiums much cheaper than average for their age, while older drivers probably wouldn't struggle to find more affordable policies elsewhere.

    Keep in mind, the best car insurance for you may be based on more than price.
