    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.

        Hi Bindhu,

        Thanks for your question.

        If you would like to receive a quote from one of the providers in our panel, please head to our car insurance home page. Please make sure to read the eligibility criteria, features and details of the policy, as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statement of the policy before making a decision and consider whether the product is right for you. If necessary, speak to the insurance brand to verify any details.

        I hope this was helpful,

      My car, building, contents is insured with NRMA so I get multi discounts on all items insured. If I make a claim on my car will this affect my other policy discounts?

        Hi Debbie,

        Thanks for your question. Apart from the no claims bonus, making a claim shouldn’t affect the other policy discounts. For example, any claims you make will not affect your Loyalty Discount level. For more information, you may want to contact NRMA directly.

        I hope this was helpful,

        Hi Amy,

        Thanks for your question. According to the NRMA Comprehensive Car Insurance PDS, NRMA does not cover mechanical, structural, electronic or electrical failures.
