Typical cost

What are people actually paying?

Based on publicly available data, car insurance for a 2020 Mazda CX-9 typically ranges from $800–$1,600 per year. That's a wide spread — and where you land depends heavily on which insurer you choose, not just your circumstances.

Prices are indicative only, sourced from general market research. Actual quotes may differ. Always read the PDS before purchasing.

What affects your premium

Why prices vary so much

  • The make and model of your vehicle — repair costs and theft rates vary by car.
  • Your claims history — a strong no-claims record is one of the most effective ways to lower premiums.
  • Excess amount — choosing a higher excess usually reduces your annual premium.
  • Driver inclusions — adding young or inexperienced drivers can raise the cost.

Common questions

What is an excess in car insurance?

An excess is the amount you pay out of pocket when making a claim. A higher excess generally means a lower annual premium. Some policies also have age-based excess for younger drivers.

Do no-claims bonuses carry over between insurers?

Most Australian insurers will ask about your claims history, and a clean record typically results in a lower premium. Whether a formal no-claims discount transfers depends on the insurer.

What information do I need to get a car insurance quote?

Generally your vehicle details (make, model, year, registration), your address, your age and driving history, and the level of cover you want. The process typically takes a few minutes.
