Car Insurance Comparison

When it comes to comparing car insurance quotes, shopping around is important as car insurance premiums may vary significantly from one car insurance policy to another.

There are a number of ways to compare car insurance. Prior to the advent of the internet, it was a matter of digging out the phone directory and ringing around car insurance companies, which can be a time-consuming process. You could also go and meet with car insurance salespeople, or insurance brokers.

Different car insurances

In addition to the compulsory third party (CTP) insurance that all car owners in Australia must take out when registering their cars, the two optional types of car insurance available are comprehensive car insurance and third party property insurance.

Third party property insurance covers you against the costs of any damage your car does to someone else’s property, including their car, if the driver of your car is at fault. It does not cover the costs of any damage to your car. That’s where comprehensive car insurance comes in – it also covers the cost of damage to your car, up to an agreed value, in addition to the cost of damage caused to any other car or property.
