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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
Fire, Theft & Third Party Property Damage cover includes fire and theft cover, third party property damage cover and a range of additional features at no extra cost.
Third Party Property Damage cover covers legal liability to other people’s property and a range of additional features at no extra cost.
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.
If you’re using your car less because you’re self-isolating, you can make changes to your policy that may reduce your premium. This includes increasing your standard excess or changing the average kilometres driven on your policy.
If you’d like to update your policy, you can do so easily via your My Suncorp Account. This step-by-step-guide explains how to do so. Otherwise, please call 13 11 55 to get in touch.

Comprehension car insurance
Just did the payment and with confirmation that payment has been recieved but I didn’t
get a receipt number or reference but got a message stating that my email address
is already on your system and if I can create another one. I don’t want to creat another email address but I request for hard copies to be posted to my residential address instead.

Insurance made simple.
The website quote was easy to follow and easy to achieve. The only thing I would suggest is that when using Car Insurance we perhaps have all the options not just for comprehensive but for Third Party Property Damage at the same time. Makes the choosing a little easier.
