Before you drive away: What car insurance is right for you?

As with any big purchase, it’s important to be prepared and not rush into things. Before you decide on your new wheels make sure you do your research, take it for a test drive and shop around for a good deal. Part of this process should also be organising insurance so that you’re covered as soon as you drive away. 

Make sure you've got the right car insurance policy 

1. Provide your insurer with the right information
You will need to know your make, model and year of your car to get an accurate quote. 

2. Do your research before you apply
Understand what insurance cover options are available so you can match the right insurance protection for your car. Think about who will be the main drivers of the car and where it will be parked each night. Also consider if you have any accessories or modifications fitted to your vehicle. All of these items are also required to complete an accurate quote to ensure you are covered. 

3. Comparing products
You have the option to select one of three different types of car insurance cover for your new car depending on your needs. 

Our range of policies through CGU cover you for common types of theft and damage. Plus, there are a range of extra features and benefits that you can choose to add on or leave out.

4. Ask questions
If you’re not sure about something, ask your insurer to explain. It’s important to understand your policy and what it does and does not cover.
