I have full comprehensive car insurance with qbe and would like to know what cover I get for a hire car within Australia.
Hi Susan,
Thank you for getting in touch with finder.
QBE’s comprehensive car insurance covers hire car following theft. They’ll reimburse you the reasonable cost of hiring a vehicle similar to yours, provided QBE agrees:
-To accept your claim for theft
-That you need a hire car
-To the hire car you want and where you want to hire it from
They stop paying this benefit once:
-They’ve paid for 14 days of hiring or the cost reaches $1,000
-Your vehicle’s found
-They pay your claim for theft
whichever happens first.
They’ll need copies of the rental agreement and the hire car receipts before they reimburse you.
As a friendly reminder, we don’t represent any company that we feature on our pages. The info above is from QBE’s Motor Vehicle Insurance Product Disclosure Statement. If you need help/have further enquiries on your QBE car insurance, it is best to contact them directly.
I hope this helps.
Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any other enquiries.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Cheers,

Where do I find the “where I can cancel CTP slip”? The rego has been cancelled and car has been sold to the wreckers.
Hi Georgina,
Thank you for getting in touch with finder.
It is best to speak with QBE directly regarding your enquiry. If your Green Slip has been used to register your car, it remains linked to the registration of your car for the registration term. Policy cancellation is only possible if you hand in your car’s registration plates to Roads and Maritime Services (RMS). As long as your car is registered with RMS, your policy must remain in force.
I hope this somewhat helps.
Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any other enquiries.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!

What is excess on QBE third party car insurance
Hi Wendy,
Thank you for your question.
You have contacted finder.com.au, a comparison and information service and not actually QBE Car Insurance.
There are a number of excesses associated with QBE Car Insurance policy, to check the amount for each excess you will need to contact the QBE Car Insurance directly.
All the best,

experienced damage caused by a rabbit chewing wires. Are the repairs covered under the comprehensive coverage?
Hi NC,
Thanks for getting in touch. finder.com.au is a comparison service and not an QBE. You will need to contact them directly about your policy and its cover limits.
Cheers,
Richard
Do I have to pay my excess up front even if it is not my fault?
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your question. Most insurers waive the excess if you were not at fault. You should check with your insurer for their specific claims conditions.
Cheers,
Richard
how do I go about getting a quote on line
Hi Geoff,
Thanks for your question. finder.com.au is a comparison service. QBE Car Insurance is not currently part of the panel of car insurance brands we have access to. You will need to head to the QBE website in order to get a quote.
