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. While we are not allowed to display actual quotes, our Finder Score aims to serve as an indicative guide to how cost and feature 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. Finder Score, Price Score and Feature Score are only to be used as indicative guides and are not product recommendations.

Best Value Car Insurance: Budget Direct Comprehensive
Budget Direct Comprehensive Car Insurance received a 2026 Finder Award for Best Value Car Insurance. The policy is jam-packed with coverage, features flexible excess options and an online sign-up discount.
"I was recently able to help my nan get car insurance on her secondhand car. The car was still worth quite a bit so we decided comprehensive cover was necessary, but we were able to save a heap by reducing the kind of cover needed. For example, we didn't need to spend on adding a hire car to the policy because if anything happened, she'd borrow a car from within our family. We went with an entirely online insurer because we knew that if she ever needed to make a claim, it'd be one of us helping with the paperwork. She prefers to deal with someone face to face but that's a service only on offer from more expensive insurers."
Is seniors car insurance different from regular car insurance?
Seniors car insurance isn't any different from regular car insurance. However, some brands do cater predominantly to older drivers, including APIA, Australian Seniors and National Seniors.
This doesn't guarantee those brands will be the best option for you though. Always compare as many car insurance options as you can, not just the ones marketed towards seniors.
"The best way to find the right car insurance is by comparing as many policies as you can. Make sure to request quotes first, so you have a clear picture of how much cover will cost. Then, start comparing specific benefits to find the best value for money."
Should I look specifically for seniors car insurance policies?
Car insurance policies specifically designed for older drivers should be considered along with other car insurance brands. They are not guaranteed to be better than a general car insurer, but it's worth taking them into account when choosing your policy.

Tips for paying less for seniors car insurance
- Buy online. Some insurers offer decent discounts if you buy your policy online, although this sometimes only applies to your first year's premium.
- Consider your driving habits. Some insurers offer cheaper premiums if you maintain a low mileage. If that sounds like you, consider pay as you drive policies.
- Increase your excess. Increasing your excess can lower your regular premium. But be aware, this means you'll have a higher amount to pay if you ever have to make a claim.
- Compare regularly. Don't stick with your insurer out of habit or loyalty. Compare insurers every year to take advantage of introductory offers and lower premiums.
- Bundle your policies. If you have multiple insurance policies, you might be able to get a discount if they're all with the same brand. Just make sure it's cheaper than splitting them.
