Now in their tenth year, the Mozo Experts Choice Awards present an opportunity to recognise products in the market we believe offer great value to Australians.
For the 2023 Car Insurance awards, our Experts assessed 58 car insurance policies from 51 insurance providers head to head.
“Car insurance can be a large expense for households particularly when several members of a household own a vehicle,” said Peter Marshall, Mozo Experts Choice Awards judge.
“Whether your priority is to get insurance at the lowest cost, or you’d prefer to have the comfort of the most generous levels of cover, whether you are older, younger, or don’t drive very far, we’ve done the research to find policies that should be on your shortlist.”
For full details on how we crunched the numbers, the awards criteria and how we determined the winners, see the 2023 Mozo Experts Choice Awards for Car Insurance methodology report.
We couldn’t have a name like the Mozo Experts Choice Awards without a dedicated and experienced team of product data analysts at the helm. Combined they have decades of experience behind them. Meet them below.
Running since 2014, the Mozo Experts Choice Awards recognise products that deliver exceptional value or benefits to consumers. See our 2023 Mozo Experts Choice Awards for Car Insurance methodology report for detailed information on how we performed product comparisons and determined the final winners for 2023.
In carrying out the Mozo Experts Choice Awards for Car Insurance 2023, we compared 58 car insurance policies from 51 different insurance providers to find our results.
Any provider we review must be available at the time of our analysis and any offers included must be available to the general public on the provider’s website.
A great place to start is by checking out the winners in the Exceptional Value categories. Our experts analysed the pricing and product data and determined these as the insurance policies offering the broadest range of insurance features at the most affordable price point when compared to similar products.
It’s important to understand that several factors go into determining the cost of car insurance, such as your driving history, location and vehicle make and model. So, you’ll still need to compare features and options to find a policy that is right for you and then get quotes to check prices.
