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 there,

Does NRMA comprehensive insurance cover a rental car in the USA?

Thanks Martin…

Finder

RichardJanuary 13, 2015Finder

Hi Marty,

Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, you will not be covered by your NRMA insurance while driving overseas. However, a travel insurance policy would cover you for driving while overseas. Please have a look at travel insurance guide to the USA.

I hope this was helpful,

Hi, I have a question about some information that was given to me by a friend and I just wanted to confirm if it is correct! I would like to know if NRMA has anything to do with SWANN INSURANCE? if they have a partnership?
Would really appreciate the feedback.

Hi thank you for answering my question, but I am still not understanding. What do you mean by Swann and NRMA are part of an insurance group IAG?
Thank you

Hi, I would like to ask that how much extra cost I have to pay if I upgrade my Comprehensive insurance with 14 days car hire to Comprehensive Plus Car Insurance with unlimited car hire option.
Looking forward to receiving your reply.

RichardAugust 6, 2014Finder

Hi Min,

Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, finder.com.au is a comparison website and so I am unable to give you a definitive answer as to how much it would cost to upgrade your policy. However, if you would like to get in contact with the NRMA, one of their consultants will be able to give you an answer.

You can contact them either by phone on 132 132 or via email by following this link and submitting your question on their contact us page.

I hope this was helpful,

Richard
