Private motor insurance can cover your motor vehicle against accidental damage and theft. It can also protect you from the financial costs of repairing or replacing another person’s vehicle in an accident where you’re at fault.
Under a private motor insurance policy, you can generally choose to insure your car for an agreed amount, or for the market value of your vehicle – up to $150,000. Above $150,000 will be considered on referral.

Private motor insurance provides you with extensive protection if your vehicle suffers loss or damage. And, unlike some other policies, our motor insurance automatically includes some additional benefits with your cover.
The exact cover you can receive depends on the policy that you take out. But to give you an idea, here are some of the benefits a motor insurance policy may include:
Potential benefits
- Cover to help repair or replace your vehicle if it’s damaged or stolen.
- Cover to help you pay for damage you cause to another person’s vehicle.
- A replacement of the same make and model if your new vehicle is written off within three years and has less than 60,000 kilometres.
- Choice of your own repairer or one from our preferred repairer panel.
- Repair guarantee for materials and workmanship on authorised repairs.
- Re-keying and re-coding of vehicle keys if they are stolen.
- Cover for the cost of a rental car for up to 14 days if your car is stolen.
- For financed cars, cover for 50% of the difference of the finance gap between the insured value and the vehicle’s contract residual value following a total loss.
- An automatic 21 days cover on replacement vehicles.
- Up to $30 million of legal liability cover.
- The option to include one excess free windscreen claim per year.
- The option to include hire car cover following an accident.
- No additional excess except for young or inexperienced drivers if they are named.
What usually isn’t covered?
Each policy is different, but generally you won’t be covered if the vehicle is:
- Being driven by an unlicensed driver.
- Being driven by you or any other person while under the influence of any drug or alcohol.
- Being used in any motor sport or time trial.
There are other exclusions which we can outline for you. In addition, there is a deductible/excess.
