Not letting anyone under 25 drive your car? Let us know and we’ll give you a lower premium. You can restrict the youngest driver age to 21, 25, 30 or 40.
We’re not all born mechanics. If you don’t want a breakdown, flat tyre, flat battery or anything else leaving you stranded, our Roadside Assistance is just what you need.
Hey, you’re a good driver. So why should you have to pay higher premiums to subsidise those “higher-risk” drivers? We don’t think it’s fair. So we filter out those high-risk drivers who’d push your premiums up, and simply don’t insure them.
The result? Lower premiums for you. Just as it should be.

* If the car is involved in a no fault accident with an uninsured vehicle we will cover your damage up to $3,000 or the market value of the car (whichever is the lesser), but only if you report the accident to the police and provide evidence the other vehicle is uninsured.
** If you cancel the policy within 21 days from the date of purchase and do not make a claim on the policy, we will give you a full refund.
