Still have questions?
-
Is a learner driver covered on my car insurance?
Yes, learners are covered.
If you have a Nominated Driver policy, learners are only covered if the fully licensed driver accompanying them is over 25. See the PDS for more details.
-
How much does Comprehensive cost?
The cost depends on a number of things, including where you live, your car’s make and model, and whether you’ve had an accident before.
There are some ways to lower the cost, like if you name the drivers on your policy or if you choose a policy that has a limit on how far you drive each year.
The fastest way to see how much your insurance costs and look at your options is to quick quote.
-
Is my car covered when someone else drives it?
If you have a standard policy, your car’s covered no matter who’s behind the wheel (with a few exceptions).
If you have a Nominated Driver policy, drivers under 25 aren’t covered (except learners accompanied by a fully licensed driver over the age of 25). Also, if someone’s driving and they’re not listed on your Nominated Driver policy, you’ll pay a higher excess if you make a claim.
Make sure you’ve read the PDS before you let someone else drive your car.
