Different types of Car Insurance explained

Comprehensive Car Insurance provides cover for your own car as well as damage to other vehicles and property for which you might be liable. Third Party Property Damage is usually cheaper, and covers you for damage your car causes to other people’s car or property, but not your own. You can, though, add cover for fire and theft damage to your own car on top of your Third Party Property Damage cover.

Add Suncorp Roadside Assist^ from less than $95 per year with no joining fee.
