Allianz offers comprehensive and third party property car insurance all across Australia. It also offers compulsory third party car insurance (CTP cover for short) in New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia.

What does Allianz’s comprehensive car insurance cover?

  • Cover for damage to your car, including for a not-at-fault accident and accidental loss

  • The reasonable cost of towing, following an insured incident

  • New replacement car (applies if your car is less than two years old)

  • Up to $100 of daily rental car costs, following a theft or not-at-fault accident

Does Allianz offer third party fire and theft car insurance?

Allianz does not offer third party fire and theft car insurance, if you want to insure your car against events like these with Allianz, you will have to opt for comprehensive car insurance.

How will Allianz calculate my comprehensive car insurance premium?

When it comes to your premium, Allianz will ask you a number of questions to figure out how much you will pay. How high or low it is will be a reflection of how high or low of a risk they deem you to be. In other words, how likely you are to claim with them. Some factors Allianz will take into account are:

  • The address where you keep your vehicle

  • What you use your vehicle for, e.g. domestic, rideshare or business

  • The age of drivers listed on the policy

  • The gender of drivers listed on the policy

  • What type of vehicle you drive

  • How old your vehicle is

  • What optional extras you add on to your policy

  • What excess you choose

  • Your safe driver star rating

  • What your employment status is.

Does Allianz offer a no claims discount?

Yes Allianz does offer its own version of the no claims discount, the ‘Safe Driver Star Rating.’ As with most no claims discounts, Allianz’s Safe Driver Star Rating is based on your claims and driving history. Having a high Safe Driver Star Rating will reduce your premium. 

Although, should you make a claim your rating may go down and your premium payments may go up. That is unless you add the star rating protection optional extra onto your policy. The star rating works like this:

  • New customers can be given a star rating from nil to four, depending on their driving history. This equates to a 5% or 10% discount.

  • Customers renewing their policy can earn a rating up to six stars and a discount of up to 15%. Plus, customers who achieve a six star rating will also be given the star rating protection at no extra cost.

Can I pay my premium monthly?

Having trouble coming up with the cash to pay your premium in one lump sum? With Allianz insurance, you can opt for monthly payments instead - but remember, the catch is that this added flexibility will cost you extra.

When we had to make a claim for our car Allianz was easy to talk to but just the one issue we had with them was the repairer they sent us too, it was abit far away but was the only one they had near us. It took almost 6 months for our car to be seen then another 2 months for our car to be fixed.

I had a highly disappointing experience with Allianz insurance. I purchased an annual car insurance policy, making a full payment on 03/01/2023, believing my vehicle was covered for the entire year. However, my interaction with Allianz took a nightmarish turn when I called them on 16/10/23 to update my car's registration number. To my shock, I was informed that my insurance had been inexplicably canceled due to a supposed "technical glitch." What's even more frustrating is that I received no prior notification or warning about this issue. I was essentially left in the dark for seven months, driving my car uninsured, completely unaware that I had no coverage. To add insult to injury, when they eventually decided to process a refund, it was sent to a credit card that had been closed for more than seven months at the time of the refund. It's now been 14 months since the card was closed, and, as expected, the account no longer exists. This demonstrates a glaring lack of attention to detail on their part and a disregard for their customers' time and money. What's truly infuriating is that, despite all these blunders and their failure to provide any sort of resolution or compensation for the inconvenience and danger I was exposed to by driving without insurance, their proposed solution was to buy an entirely new policy. It's astounding that Allianz couldn't acknowledge their mistake and rectify the situation in a more customer-friendly manner. In summary, Allianz's handling of my car insurance has been utterly unacceptable. Their cancellation of my policy without notice, the mishandling of my refund, and their lack of responsibility for the consequences of their actions make them a company I would strongly advise against doing business with. It's clear that customer satisfaction and safety are not their top priorities.
