OVERVIEW
What is Third Party Property Damage Insurance?
Third Party Property Damage Insurance is a type of car insurance that gives you a basic level of cover for damage caused by your car to another person’s vehicle or property.
Consider Third Party Property Damage Insurance or feel even more assured by upgrading to GIO’s Fire, Theft and Third Party Damage Insurance, which covers fire, theft and additional covers, such as emergency repairs.
It’s useful to know that Third Party Property Damage Insurance is non-compulsory and shouldn’t be confused with Compulsory Third Party Insurance, which is a government requirement for all registered vehicles. Compulsory Third Party Insurance is also known as CTP or Green Slip in NSW. In ACT, CTP is known as Motor Accident Injuries (MAI) Insurance.

What’s the difference between Third Party Property Insurance and CTP?
Third Party Property Damage Insurance is optional and provides assurance and cover if you need to pay for damage your vehicle causes to another person’s vehicle or property. In comparison, Compulsory Third Party (CTP) Insurance – also known as Green Slip Insurance in NSW and Rego in ACT, is mandatory and covers your liability and the liability of anyone else who drives your vehicle, for injuries caused to others in a motor accident.
