Platinum Car Insurance

Lifetime new car replacement – Eligibility

You will be eligible provided you are the first registered owner, and your car has been continuously insured under GIO Platinum cover from within 13 months of your car's purchase until the time of the total loss. Anyone who financed your car must also provide us with written consent.

Option to choose your own repairer

You can leave it with GIO to take care of everything when arranging for the repair of your car. However, if you prefer to, you can choose your own repairer to complete the job.

If you do this, you need to obtain a quote from your repairer. After you obtain a quote from your repairer, we will need to assess your car at one of our preferred repairers. The repairs will be authorised if your repairer’s assessed quote meets industry standards and will result in your car being repaired safely and in a cost effective manner.

Our lifetime repair guarantee applies even if you choose your own repairer, as long as we authorise the repairs.

What’s covered

  • Lifetime new car replacement after a total loss, for eligible customers.
  • Hire car just like yours, for unlimited days, after any incidents covered by your policy.
  • Choice of repairer.
  • GIO Platinum windscreen and window glass cover, offering one excess free claim – including for sunroof damage – per year.

What’s not covered

  • Incorrect fuel usage.
  • Any structural, mechanical, electrical or electronic failure or breakdown of your car.
  • Loss or damage incurred while your car was used for motor sports or similar activities.

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.

Increase your excess

You can lower your premium by increasing your excess on eligible policies. So, your premium will be cheaper, but you’ll face higher out-of-pocket costs if you make a claim where you’re liable to pay an excess.

Pay annually rather than monthly

If you pay your premiums annually, you’ll pay slightly less than if you were to pay monthly. You may not be able to adjust this until your next renewal.
