Some of our additional automatic benefits

Comprehensive

NO-EXCESS
Locks and keys

We will cover the reasonable cost of replacing locks and keys (including electronic access cards, transponders and remote door openers) if they have been lost, damaged, stolen or duplicated. No excess needs to be paid for your first claim under this benefit. That first claim will not affect your No Claims Bonus. Most we will pay for any one event is $1,000.

Protection against uninsured drivers

If another party is found to be completely at fault for an accident, we will pay for damages totalling up to a maximum of $3,000 for your vehicle that would otherwise be excluded under a third party or third party, fire and theft policy. With a comprehensive policy, full cover already applies in this situation. A $3,000 per policy limit for comprehensive applies.

Optional hire car cover

For a small additional premium on your policy, if you make a claim, we'll provide you with hire car cover while your vehicle is being repaired or replaced. We'll contribute up to $100 per day, for up to 30 days, towards the cost of hiring a temporary replacement vehicle.

Accommodation and travel

We will pay up to a maximum of $1,000 to cover any necessary and reasonable additional accommodation and travel expenses that you need to pay to complete your journey following an accident.

New vehicle

If a vehicle is considered uneconomical to repair and it is less than 1 year old, or less than 2 years old with no more than 40,000 km driven, we will replace it with a new vehicle of the same make, model and specification.

Accidental death

If you, your spouse, or any member of your family who normally lives with you is injured and, as a result, dies because of a sudden accidental event while driving the vehicle or as a passenger, we will pay $20,000 to the estate of that person.

NO-EXCESS
Glass breakage

Claims for accidental breakage of windscreens, window glass, and sun roofs will not have an excess applied and your No Claims Bonus will not be affected.

Medical emergencies

In the event of a genuine medical emergency, we will provide cover for a driver who would otherwise be excluded, or cover you while driving another vehicle for which you do not have insurance.

Not at fault

If another party is found to be completely at fault for an accident, we will refund your excess and ensure your No Claims Bonus remains unaffected.

You choose your repairer

You can choose to either use one of our preferred repairers and we'll guarantee their repairs, or you can select a repairer of your choice.

Replacement vehicle purchase

Any replacement vehicle purchased is automatically covered for 30 days on the same terms and conditions as the existing policy.

Trailers

We'll automatically provide cover for a trailer you own or is in your care for its current value up to $2,000.

Third party, fire and theft

Protection against uninsured drivers

Medical emergencies

In the event of a genuine medical emergency, we will provide cover for a driver who would otherwise be excluded, or cover you while driving another vehicle for which you do not have insurance.

Vehicle recovery costs

If your vehicle can't be driven away from an accident site, we'll pay the reasonable cost for removing it and transporting it to the nearest repairer or place of safety.
