Our verdict

Pros

  • Our research indicates ROLLiN is one of the most cost-effective car insurers in Australia. Of the 31 insurers we researched, it was second cheapest.
  • Its comprehensive policy includes more benefits than other budget insurers. For example, Bingle does not include a hire car after an accident, ROLLiN' does.
  • Excess-free windscreen, sunroof and window glass damage is included as standard. This is an optional extra for many other comprehensive policies.

Cons

  • Every month, your premium is recalculated and renewed. This means it can increase or decrease from month to month with no indication of what your next bill will look like.
  • ROLLiN' doesn't cover personal effects. Other insurers include up to $1,000 worth of personal effects cover.
  • ROLLiN's unlisted driver excess is a hefty $3,000.
