National Seniors Insurance is run by National Seniors Australia, a not-for-profit seniors organisation with more than 200,000 members.
As part of its suite of cover options, National Seniors Insurance offers three levels of car insurance protection.
Issued by Allianz Australia Insurance Limited, these policies provide a wide range of benefits and are backed by 24/7 claims support.
Pros
National Seniors allows you to pay by the month at the same annual cost.
You can choose to insure the car for an agreed value rather than what the market says it’s worth at the time of an accident, providing more financial certainty.
The comprehensive policy allows you to select your own repairer, whereas many insurers uses their own network.
Cons
Premiums may not be competitive for households where younger drivers are listed as occasional drivers.
To access the full range of benefits and the Renewal Invitation Guarantee, you must be a paying member of National Seniors Australia. This adds an annual recurring cost to your total expenses.

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. Quotes are collected for 20 year olds, 30 year olds and 60 year olds, assuming an excess of $850 for a 2020 Toyota Corolla 4 door sedan model, with an average 15,000 kms driven each year. While we are not allowed to display actual quotes, our Finder Score aims to serve as an indicative guide to how cost and feature competitive a product might be for you.
Our feature score assesses each product for more than 15 features across loss and damage coverage, repairs and assistance coverage, personal items coverage and policy coverage. Features we assess include but are not limited to legal liability, essential repairs, new car replacement, car hire events, roadside assistance, agreed or market value, windscreen damage and natural disaster coverage.
Here are some reasons why a National Seniors might be a good fit for you.
Monthly payment structure. Policyholders have the option to pay their premiums in monthly installments at no additional cost compared to an annual payment.
Renewal invitation guarantee. National Seniors Australia members are guaranteed a renewal invitation for their policy. The company will not decline to renew a policy solely because of the policyholder's age or claims experience.
Customer service parameters. Unlike many corporate providers, the customer service team is not managed based on average call handling times. This allows staff to remain on the phone with customers for as long as necessary to address inquiries.
Revenue model for advocacy. National Seniors Insurance is part of a not-for-profit advocacy organisation. Profits from insurance policies are used to fund research and advocacy efforts focused on issues affecting older Australians, such as the age pension and cost of living.
How much does National Seniors car insurance cost?
To help give you an idea about National Seniors car insurance costs, we gathered annual quotes across their various policy types. Just remember, prices are going to change based on things like your vehicle make, model and year, where the car is parked, driver's age, claim history and your address, so it's always worth comparing policies and getting a few quotes.

How we picked these
To determine these insurance costs, we sourced comprehensive, third party fire and theft & third party property damage car insurance quotes for a 30-year-old male driver living in postcode 2011 (NSW). The profile used for these quotes assumes a 2020 Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport Direct Shift CVT with an annual mileage of 15,000km. We selected an excess as close to $850 as possible across all providers to ensure a fair comparison. These quotes were obtained in March 2026.
What isn't covered by a National Seniors policy?
National Seniors car insurance will not cover your claim if:
Unlicensed driver
Declined cover
Under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Overloading
Unsafe or unroadworthy condition
Malicious or criminal act
Tyre damage
Failure to safeguard your vehicle after an incident

How to file a claim
Secure the scene and gather details. Before leaving the site of the incident, ensure everyone is safe. If there are other people involved, collect all necessary information.
Document the damage. Take clear photos or videos of the damage to your car and any other vehicles or property involved. If you have a dashcam, save the footage of the incident. This visual evidence helps the insurer understand the extent of the damage and who was at fault.
Lodge your claim online. Visit the Allianz website to use the online claim form. You can start your claim at any time (24/7). You don't need to have every detail ready to begin, as you can add more information later.
Assessment and repairs. Once submitted, a consultant will review your claim and contact you, usually within two business days to provide a claim reference number.

Australian Unity car insurance, underwritten by Allianz, offers two levels of cover, the freedom to choose your own repairer and an easy 24-hour claims service.
With a higher-than-average price but no particularly impressive benefits, Allianz was outperformed by many other car insurers in the 2024 Finder Insurance Awards.
With strong cover and reasonably-priced policies, AAMI performed well in the 2024 Finder Awards. However, some popular benefits are missing and cheaper options are available.
Important information about this website
Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand 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.
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.
