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.
The cost of car insurance depends on your unique driver profile, including where you live, what car you drive, and if you've had any accidents previously. Generally speaking, NRMA offers competitively priced policies. Remember, the best car insurance for you will be determined by your personal circumstances and your experience of pricing could differ to the profile we've used in this article.
Since every policy is a bit different, you can find the specific amounts and types of excesses that apply to you on your Certificate of Insurance.
Yes, they cover electric (EV), hybrid, and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) vehicles, provided they meet the standard acceptance criteria.

just how genuine is the New for new replacement promise? My son bought a new car in 2015 which was written off. NRMA says there are no 2015 models available and want to pay out a lower market value. We have confirmed with the manufacturer that the 2016 model is EXACTLY the same as the 2015 model. Is it reasonable to say that because NRMA can’t find a 2015 plated model in 2016 that a payout is the only option. Why give a 2 year new for new promise if you only intend to replace a vehicle plated in the same year of purchase?

Can you please tell me why there is a cancellation fee charged? We had 3rd party insurance on our camper van which we sold today. Called NRMA to cancel the insurance and was told there was a cancellation fee of $30. I have never been charged this by any other insurance company and will certainly never insure a vehicle with NRMA again.

Hi Shirley,
Thanks for your question.
Early termination or cancellation fees are put in place by insurance brands to cover the administration costs they incur when a customer decides to end their insurance policy early. Unfortunately, this is standard across most car insurance brands. However, after going through the policy documents of the car insurance brands reviewed on Finder, it looks as though CGU is the only brand that doesn’t have a cancellation fee. You can review our car insurance homepage to learn more details about cancelling your existing policy.
I hope this was helpful,
Richard

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.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
