Great Southern Bank Car Insurance explained
The excess is the amount of money that you may be required to pay when you make a claim on your car insurance. It's standard for most car insurance policies. The excess is either deducted from the claim amount, paid upfront when a claim is processed or paid to the repairer when you collect your vehicle after repairs.
Our Comprehensive Car Insurance typically covers theft of your car. If your vehicle is stolen, your insurer may provide a payout based on the market value or agreed value of your car, as outlined in your policy. Third-party Car Insurance doesn't cover theft of your vehicle.
You may be eligible for a safe driver discount depending on your insurance history, driving history and number of claims you've made. Another discount you can get is if you quote and buy a new comprehensive policy online, you'll receive up to 10% off your first years' premium 1,4.
As the name suggests, comprehensive insurance covers a wide range of events such as fire, theft, and vandalism. These are not covered by third-party insurance.
But the main difference is when it comes to accidents involving your car.
If you have comprehensive insurance, you'll be covered for damage caused to your car and property and that of anyone else involved, whereas third-party insurance will only cover damage to other people’s cars and property.
Yes, you need to tell us about any modifications and accessories added to your vehicle to ascertain whether we will cover them. This might include a bull or roo bar, fog lights, a spoiler and wheels.
Yes, comprehensive car insurance typically covers damage caused by fire, theft, and storms. This includes:
- Fire damage: Protection if your car is damaged or destroyed by fire.
- Theft: Coverage if your car is stolen or damaged during an attempted theft.
- Storm damage: Coverage for damage caused by natural events such as hail, floods, and strong winds.
If you sell your car and purchase a new one, you may be able to transfer your existing insurance policy to the new vehicle. To do so, you must contact us within 14 days of purchasing the new vehicle, though it’s best to get in touch as soon as possible.
Depending on the new circumstances, we may:
- Adjust the terms and conditions of your policy.
- Increase your premium.
- Change your excess amount.
- Decline to insure the new vehicle.
