National Seniors offers three car insurance policies issued by Allianz, with 24/7 claims support.
Discounts include up to 10% online for Comprehensive and 10% for eligible safe drivers.
Be aware of specific excesses like $2,500 for unnamed or restricted young drivers.
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.

How we picked these
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.

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.

Important information about this website
Finder is a comparison service. We do not compare every product or every provider in the market.
We make money through commercial arrangements with some of the providers on this site. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement.
Our editorial content, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements.
The default order of products in our tables can be influenced by commercial arrangements. You can re-sort or filter using the controls above each table.
Some content on this site may be generated or supported by AI tools. You should verify details directly with the provider.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
Our comparison service does not include every product or every provider in the market. Some product issuers offer their products under multiple brands or through associated companies. Where we can, we identify the underlying issuer so you can compare like with like, but you should always check with the provider directly to confirm which brand you are dealing with.
Finder is a comparison website and an intermediary. We are not a product issuer and we do not provide personal financial or credit advice. When you click a link to a product, or apply for a product through our site, you deal directly with the product issuer. We may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the issuer if you click through, apply or take out a product. We describe these arrangements in more detail under 'How we make money' below.
Product features, fees, terms and eligibility criteria are set by the product issuer and may change. We rely on information supplied by issuers when we present product details on our site. Before you apply for or take out any product, you should confirm the details directly with the issuer.
We earn revenue from Finder in four principal ways:
Referral fees and commissions. When you click a product link, complete an enquiry form or apply for a product through our site, we may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the product issuer. We may also receive payment based on the volume of leads or conversions we send to an issuer.
Sponsored placements. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement between Finder and the issuer. These labels always indicate a paid placement. We do not use them for editorial choices.
Display advertising. Banner advertising, newsletter advertising and similar display ads on our site are paid by advertisers.
Content sponsorship. Some articles, videos and social media posts are sponsored by an issuer and are clearly labelled as such.
Our editorial opinions, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements. A 'Top Pick' is an editorial choice made by our writers and editors based on the criteria described on each comparison page. A 'Top Pick' is not a personal recommendation and does not mean the product is appropriate for your circumstances.
If you would like to know whether we have a commercial arrangement with a specific product issuer, please contact us.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the default order can be influenced by commercial arrangements we have with product issuers. In some categories, sponsored or featured products appear in the top positions of the table by default, and are always labelled as such.
Other factors that influence default order include price, fees and features, and (where relevant) our editorial view of the product.
You can re-sort every comparison table using the controls above the table. You can filter by product features that matter to you. The order you see after re-sorting or filtering is not influenced by commercial arrangements.
