Car insurance: New players driving ways to save
The world of car insurance is speeding into some serious changes, which could bring exciting new ways to save money and drive better value out of your insurance policy in 2024.
In Australia, we’ve seen the launch of some innovative new pay as you go car insurance options like Rollin' Insurance. These new players could shake up how you do car insurance and see you scoring savings.
Traditional insurers like Budget Direct isn’t resting on their laurels either. They’re offering an online discount of up to 15% to encourage drivers to stop paying the lazy tax for sticking with their current insurance company instead of comparing options at renewal time. Australia Post also has a $75 discount on your policy for the first year when you purchase your policy online.
