What is car insurance?

Car insurance can help protect you against financial loss if your car is involved in an accident, gets stolen or catches fire – but it will depend on the cover you choose. The type of cover you decide on is up to you, and what suits your needs and budget. You can choose to take out cover for your own car, or just for damage your car causes to third parties. When deciding, be sure to read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for a full list of inclusions, exclusions and optional extras.

Car Insurance FAQs

How much is car insurance?

Car insurance premiums vary because we all have different circumstances and needs. For all the factors we consider, take a look at the Premium, Excess and Discounts Guide.

What is a car insurance claim?

A car insurance claim is a request that you lodge to your car insurance provider when you have suffered damage or loss.

What is excess in car insurance?

An excess is the amount you may contribute towards the cost of your claim. Your current Certificate of Insurance shows the amount and types of excesses that apply to your policy.

What type of car insurance do I need?

In Australia, every driver needs to have Compulsory Third Party Insurance, also known as CTP or Green Slip Insurance. In some states and territories, CTP is automatically included as part of the registration fee, but in others, you’ll need to purchase it separately.

Besides mandatory CTP, any other insurance you take out is entirely up to you. You can check the PDS for all the nitty-gritty details of what is and isn’t covered to make sure you’re choosing the right cover for your circumstances.

Does NRMA Insurance cover electric (EV), hybrid and plug-in-hybrid (PHEV) vehicles?

Yes – as long as they meet our standard acceptance criteria. We generally cover standard-spec EV, hybrid and PHEV vehicles.
