Can you insure a car that’s been written off?

If you’re ever in a car accident where your car gets badly damaged, your insurer may consider writing off your vehicle. This means that instead of getting your car repaired and back on the road, you’ll receive an insurance payout. But if the car is still repairable, you may be able to re-register and insure the written-off car again in the future.

Does your insurance cover other cars you drive?

Most car insurance policies in Australia are associated with a car, not a driver. Even if you’ve insured your own car, this policy usually won’t apply if you’re driving another vehicle, such as a friend’s car or a rental car. It’s important to check what’s covered before you get behind the wheel, just in case.
