INSURING YOUR CAR
What you need to know about managing your car insurance policy online
Having a car insurance policy is important, but managing it – well, that can be a bit tedious. Rather than waiting on the phone to complete simple tasks, why not streamline your admin by managing your policy online? You can set up your insurance policy, claim, renew and update your details. Managing all aspects of your car insurance policy has never been easier.
Getting started –
Registering for Online Services
Before you can take everything online, you’ll need to register for an Online Services account and add your Comprehensive or Third Party Insurance policy, if you haven’t already. Make sure you have your policy number handy and that details like your address and email are the same as they appear on your policy. Don’t stress if you don’t know your policy number, we can find it for you.

Adding your policy
After you’ve registered, add your policy by selecting ‘Link another policy’ at the top of the homescreen and type in your policy details. It’s as simple as that.
Registering for your online account is easy.
First, go to the website and log in to your account.
Select ‘Register Now’. Fill in your details and then select ‘Register’.
Check your email to confirm your registration.
Remember, you can also use our Suncorp App. For Suncorp you can use an existing Insurance or Banking account to register.
Giving your policy a ‘health check’ at renewal time
Renewing your policy online can help make the process quicker and more convenient. While you’re renewing in Online Services, consider conducting a policy ‘health check’ to see how you could potentially save on your premium for the year ahead. This could involve changing your excess, or reducing the kilometres listed on your policy if you’re driving less.
Simply go to Online Services and follow the prompts to renew your policy. If you’d like to adjust your excess and other details on your policy, you can do so on the confirmation screen when you renew. You should then see your new premium on the payments details page. If you’d like to add optional extras to your policy, you can do that here too.
When you need to renew or update your policy, just go online.
