Car Insurance for Young Drivers

If you've just gotten a nice set of wheels (even if it’s just nice to you), then it might be worth getting a schmick insurance policy to match. It might not be exciting, but it could be a necessity.

How is Car Insurance different for young people?

Let's start with the big one: younger drivers will usually pay more for Car Insurance than older, more experienced drivers. This is because according to the stats, younger drivers as a group, are more likely to have more car accidents than other road users.1

Types of insurance available for young drivers

Comprehensive

Provides the highest level of cover and is generally the most expensive. It will help cover the costs of most repairs if your or another person’s car is damaged in an accident. It’ll also provide a pay out if your car is written-off, to help cover the replacement costs.

Third Party Property

Helps cover other people’s cars and property if you cause an accident and damage them (which can be handy if you accidentally back into someone’s Ferrari. Oh dear!)

Compulsory Third Party (CTP)

As the name suggests, this is a compulsory level of cover that helps cover your liability for people injured or killed in an accident. However, each state and territory also has its own way of doing things, so it's worth reading up on how it works where you live.

Third Party Fire and Theft

Covers the same things as Third Party Property Insurance, with additional protection for fire or if someone steals your car.
