With Apia insurance, you can opt for a high excess, which means lower premiums, or a low excess, but pay higher premiums. The decision of which is better comes down to how your budget looks and how you’d handle an emergency.
For example, if you’re on a tight budget, you may want to pay lower premiums now. But keep in mind that this means you’ll have to come up with a higher lump sum to pay the excess when there's an emergency.
How much your premium costs will depend on how likely you are to make a claim. At Apia, this is determined by things like what car you drive, how you drive it and also by any extra cover options you might like to add to your policy.
You can add cover that will pay for a rental car after you have an accident, or for any modifications made to your vehicle, which are only covered if agreed to in writing. Roadside assist is an optional extra you might also consider.
When you’re trying to fit your car insurance premium into a budget, it’s nice to have some flexibility in how it’s paid. With Apia, you can choose to either pay an annual premium in one lump sum upfront, or you can pay in monthly installments, at no extra cost.

Four years ago I sought a quote from APIA for comprehensive insurance on my car. Their quote came in about 7% less than any of the other quotes (5) that I received. I took out the policy with them and consequently had a claim for a door of the car being damaged in a car park. This claim was handled very promptly and repairs were carried out less than 7 days later. No cost to me (no excess) and no effect on my no claim bonus. A far better outcome than I expected. I wholeheartedly recommend APIA as the best Insurance Company that I have ever dealt with.
