What type of motor insurance does Bank Australia Insurance offer?
We offer comprehensive car insurance only and do not offer compulsory third party (CTP) or any other forms of motor insurance.
What is the difference between comprehensive car insurance and compulsory third-party motor insurance?
Comprehensive car insurance is a policy that provides the most protection for your vehicle. It covers your car for a range of different circumstances including:
- Cover for the loss or damage to your vehicle in an incident, theft, fire or weather event
- Payment for any emergency repairs to your vehicle up to $1,500 or for the cost of hiring a car when yours has been stolen (up to $150 per day up to 21 days)
- Third party liability cover for when you cause damage to someone else’s vehicle or property
Compulsory third party (CTP) insurance protects drivers from the financial impact of causing injury or death as the result of a motor vehicle incident.
What am I covered for?
Bank Australia Comprehensive Car Insurance covers your vehicle against loss or damage as a result of an insured event. For a full list of the insured events we cover, please refer to our PDS.
How much should I insure my vehicle for?
While we aren’t able to provide you with advice on the replacement costs of your vehicle or how much to insure it for, we use the information you give us and data sourced from third parties to recommend an amount of cover you should have. You should use this recommendation as a guide only. Bank Australia Insurance uses agreed value, rather than market value, when determining how much to insure your vehicle for.
What is the difference agreed value and market value?
Agreed value
When you choose an agreed value policy, the value of your vehicle will be mutually agreed on by you and Bank Australia Insurance. This value will remain valid until your next renewal. At renewal, if you do not agree with the new value you have been offered, you can call us to discuss this.
Market Value
When insuring your vehicle for a market value, the value of your vehicle will be determined when you make a claim for an incident. This will be calculated based on your local car market, the age and condition of your vehicle and the kilometres it has travelled.
