How we picked theseFinder 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. We use your responses to our quiz to pair you with the closest price profile and while we are not allowed to display actual quotes, our price score aims to serve as an indicative guide to how cost 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.
Depending on your answers to our car insurance quiz, we upweight the relevant price score or feature score to generate a dynamic Finder Score (80% weighting on the primary selection between Price or Feature). Finder Score, Price Score and Feature Score are only to be used as indicative guides and are not product recommendations.

What does roadside assistance cover?
You may get extra options and services depending on who your provider is, but there are certain basic features that are a part of pretty much any roadside assistance plan:
- Breakdowns and towing: If your car breaks down, roadside assistance can provide on-the-spot repairs or arrange a tow if the issue is more serious.
- Flat battery: Accidentally drained your battery by leaving the lights on? Help is just a call away to get you moving again.
- Lost keys: Many roadside assistance plans include locksmith services if you're locked out or have lost your keys.
- Out of fuel: Misjudged your fuel gauge? Roadside assistance can deliver enough fuel to get you to the nearest service station.
- Flat tyre: Whether you don't know how to change a tyre or don't have a spare, roadside assistance can step in and sort it out for you.
Every provider is different and what's included will vary based on your own subscription. To get an idea of limits that apply, check with your provider or use our table above.
