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?
- Breakdowns and towing: If your car suddenly stops working, roadside assistance can perform minor repairs on the spot or organise a tow to a nearby mechanic for more serious issues. This ensures you're not left stranded, no matter where your vehicle breaks down.
- Dead battery: Accidentally left your lights on and drained the battery? A roadside team can provide a jump-start to get your engine running again. If the battery can't be revived, they may even arrange a replacement or tow you to a service centre.
- Lost or locked keys: Locked out of your vehicle or can't find your keys? Most roadside assistance plans include locksmith services to help you regain access quickly. In some cases, they may also help arrange a replacement key.
- Out of fuel: Found yourself out of fuel with no station in sight? Roadside assistance can deliver enough petrol or diesel to get you safely to the nearest service station. It's a quick fix that helps avoid the hassle of walking with a jerry can.
- Flat tyre: Have a flat tyre and no spare, or not confident changing it yourself? A roadside professional can replace the tyre or tow your vehicle if needed. It's a stress-free solution that keeps you safe and gets you back on the road sooner.
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.
