If you’re younger than 25, and your parents are comprehensively insured with GIO, you can receive a 10% discount off your own GIO Platinum or Comprehensive Car Insurance policy.
Take control - Things to check
Your excess
You can choose to lower your premium by increasing your excess within a range we set. This means your premium will be cheaper, but you’ll face higher out-of-pocket costs in the event of a claim. It’s up to you to decide on a balance that suits your needs.
Payment frequency
If you pay your premiums annually, you’ll pay less than if you were to pay in monthly instalments for the same period.
Kilometre driven
Consider how many kilometres you are driving each year. It might be less than what you originally told us. If so, you can adjust your kilometres driven, which may reduce your premium.
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.
Review your optional covers
Check the optional covers you have selected still meet your needs. Adding or removing an optional cover can impact the premium you pay.
Roadside assist
Roadside Assist is only available as an optional cover with GIO Platinum or Comprehensive Car Insurance.
If you have GIO Roadside Assist on your policy and need help call us 24/7 on 1800 386 398.
