What exclusions do I need to know about?

How much does Ozicare Car Insurance cost?
A wide range of factors can influence the cost of your Ozicare Car Insurance premium, including:
- The age of the driver. Younger drivers have less experience and are also more likely to be involved in an accident, so they usually pay higher insurance premiums.
- The type of car. A high-powered, expensive import is going to cost more to insure than a less expensive family sedan.
- Where your car is kept. Parking your car in a locked garage overnight will save you plenty if you would otherwise leave your car on the street. Parking your car in certain suburbs - for example, a suburb that doesn’t have a high crime rate - can also result in lower premiums.
- How your car is used. A car that’s driven rarely and only during low traffic periods is going to be cheaper to insure than a vehicle that sees a whole lot of use in peak-hour city traffic.
- How secure your car is. A car with a sophisticated alarm system is going to be harder for thieves to steal than a vehicle that doesn’t have any security measures in place, so expect this increased risk to be reflected in your premiums.
- Your driving history. A driver with a history of traffic accidents, infringements and insurance claims will have to pay more for cover than someone with an unblemished driving record.
Car insurance excess
When you make a claim with Ozicare, you’ll need to pay an excess to contribute to the cost of your claim. The amount you have to pay is determined by the basic excess plus any additional excesses, which are listed in your certificate of insurance.
However, if you’re ever involved in a no-fault accident with another vehicle and the cost of your claim exceeds the basic excess amount, you will not have to pay any excess.
How to save on my Ozicare policy
- Increase your excess. Choosing a higher excess will mean you only have to pay a lower premium.
- Restricting drivers by age. If you can confirm that there will be no drivers under a certain age driving your vehicle, you’ll be able to enjoy cheaper cover.
