Common questions
Is car insurance compulsory in Australia?
CTP (Compulsory Third Party) insurance is compulsory in all states and territories and covers personal injury claims. Comprehensive or third party property insurance is optional, but strongly recommended.
Does my car insurance cover me if someone else drives my car?
It depends on your policy. Many policies extend cover to other licensed drivers, but some apply restrictions or additional excesses for unlisted drivers. Check your PDS.
What happens if I don't disclose information when applying for car insurance?
Non-disclosure of relevant information — such as prior claims or modifications — can result in a claim being reduced or denied. Always provide accurate information when applying.
