Ways to save

Showing of

 

Review your listed drivers

Check the drivers you have listed on your policy are still correct. In some cases, your listed drivers can impact your premium, depending on their details and claim history.

 

Low kilometre saving

Consider how many kilometres you are driving each year. It might be less than what you originally told us, especially if you are now working from home. If so, you can adjust your kilometres driven, which may reduce your premium. 

 

Review your optional covers

Check your policy covers what you need, so you’re not paying extra for things you don’t. 

 

Increase your excess

With a range of excess options to choose from, the more you increase your excess the lower your premium will be.

 

Claims free savings

For every year that you don't make an excess payable claim, we'll give you a credit on next year's premium for that car. The longer you keep your policy with us, the greater the credit – from 5% after one year up to 20% after 15 years+ of continuous GIO Platinum or Comprehensive Car Insurance.
