The process of buying car insurance online is simple. Just follow these three easy steps:
Complete your quote form
First, provide information about you and the cover you’re after. This will help generate quotes specific to you. Share details about your car, driving history, where you live and more to paint a picture of your profile.
Compare policies side-by-side
Once you’ve done this, you’ll be able to see the offers available from a range of insurers, tailored to your answers. Consider offers side-by-side based on their cost, coverage and more before you buy.
Choose your insurance and purchase it today
If you come across a policy you like, you can finalise the purchase. After you’ve bought it, your policy can come into effect as soon as today, so you can hit the road with new coverage!
Consider which type of policy is best for you between comprehensive, TPFT and TPPD based on your needs and budget. By selecting one, you can refine your search and compare apples with apples.
Think about how much coverage you may need, taking into account factors like the value of your car, your driving habits and potential risks. Consider whether agreed or market value is best for your car.
Assessing your budget can help you determine how much you can comfortably afford for premiums and any potential excess payments, which will help dictate which policy options are suitable in this area.
Consider offers side-by-side so you can explore different policies, coverage levels and pricing to help you make an informed decision on which is the best fit for your requirements.
Car insurance can provide much-needed financial protection against the cost of repairs to your car in the event of an accident, theft, or damage caused by natural disasters (depending on your policy’s terms and conditions).
Having car insurance can provide you and your family with greater peace of mind knowing that you can be protected financially against a wide range of events as outlined in your policy documents.
There’s no one-size-fits-all car insurance policy; you’ll be able to compare a wide range of offers from insurers across the country with different coverage levels and inclusions online.
Car insurance policies can also often offer additional coverage options, such as roadside assistance, rental car benefits and coverage for personal effects, providing you with added convenience and support.
Comprehensive car insurance, which covers the greatest number of claimable incidents, isn’t necessarily cheap, particularly if you pay top dollar for several years without any claims.
Car insurance doesn’t cover anything, meaning that there are inevitably going to be incidents or events which aren’t covered by even the highest-level comprehensive car insurance policies.
