Different types of Car Insurance explained
Comprehensive Car Insurance is the jack-of-all-trades of car insurance that provides cover for a range of incidents – whether they’re your fault or not. Third Party Property Damage is a cheaper level of insurance that covers you for the damage your car causes to another person’s car or property, but doesn’t cover damage to your car. You can also upgrade to add cover for Fire and Theft to your Third Party Property Damage cover.
Add Suncorp Roadside Assist to a Comprehensive Car policy from less than $95 per year with no joining fee.

Suncorp Car Insurance is designed to provide you with flexibility to tailor your car cover to best suit your current and changing needs. There are five levels of cover you can choose from:
Comprehensive cover includes accidental loss or damage cover, third party property damage cover and a range of additional features at no extra cost.
Comprehensive Extras includes all the cover of Comprehensive as well as having a range of different optional covers that you can choose for an extra premium (such as windscreen and window glass cover and cover for a hire car after an event).
Comprehensive Advantages is our top level of cover and provides all the cover of Comprehensive with your optional covers being automatically included.

Please refer to the relevant PDS.
Custom paint, Nitro or hydrogen fuel, a petrol turbo or supercharger, or a roll bar, roll cage or racing harness are not covered by your Comprehensive Car Insurance policy.
Any person that you know will drive your car repeatedly should be listed as a driver on your policy.
The exception to this are learner drivers who do not need to be listed on the policy until they get their licence. They will still be covered while driving the car while on their learners and the relevant parts of the PDS will apply to any claim. An excess of $400 will apply (in addition to any other excess) if the learner is driving at the time of an incident.
It is always better to list any person on your policy who will drive your car, as if you don’t it may result in additional excesses, a reduction or refusal of a claim.
Please note: Learner drivers are not covered to drive a Hire Car obtained under your insurance policy. We also do not cover any driver under the age of 25 while driving a High-Performance vehicle.
Please refer to the PDS for more information.
Yes, any person that you know will be driving your either regularly or occasionally should be listed on the policy.

Easy to follow
The conversational manner of the application was brilliant, too often boring insurance companies don't use plain language.

Poor website, poor rewards for loyalty
Every year I renew my car insurance as a new customer as the renewal price is always more expensive for existing customers-very poor. The process of getting a quote is tiresome as the dropdown boxes do not work very well, required multiple attempts to get them to change. Luckily the product is OK otherwise I would go elsewhere.

Price misleading
The premium quoted by the online tool did not included any voluntary excess, however after payment made, there is any extra $200 excess in the certificate of insurance. I have taken photos to prove the online quote without voluntary excess. It is very misleading in terms of price. Please contact me when possible. I will ask for the difference to be refunded. Thank you

Affordable Quality Insurance
Affordable Comprehensive Insurance which is great for younger people and it was only $11 more for windscreen replacement. Cost of cover is affordable, obtaining an online quote was fast and simple. I highly recommend Suncorp
