Comprehensive Car Insurance
GIO’s Platinum Car Insurance offers you one of the most comprehensive levels of cover available on the market, but what else would you expect from a 2020 Mozo Experts Choice Award winner in the Exceptional Quality Car Insurance category?
As GIO’s premier level of car insurance you can expect some neat features like lifetime new car replacement, access to GIO’s platinum hire car service and your choice of repairer, all of which is made more affordable by generous online, family, senior and no claim discounts.
GIO Platinum Car Insurance will cover not only your car but your keys if they are stolen and any personal property within your car up to the value of $500. Windscreen cover also comes as standard as part of this policy and you are given the freedom to select a repairer you personally trust if your car needs fixing. If you want greater control over your cover, GIO will talk it out with you beforehand and come to an agreed value for your precious set of wheels.
If the worst happens and your new car is stolen or written off, GIO will replace it with a brand new car of the same make and model just as long as you’re the first registered owner and had it is insured with GIO within 13 months of purchasing the car. The main thing to note about Platinum Car Insurance is that it doesn’t come with roadside assistance as standard but is available as an additional extra for $90 a year.
GIO eases the strain on your wallet by applying a few discounts to this policy. First off, by taking the policy out online you’ll earn a 10% discount straight off the bat. If you’re under the age of 25 and an older family member is already a comprehensive or Platinum Car Insurance policy holder, GIO will shave an extra 10% off your premium. Finally, if you work to keep your driving record squeaky clean, you could be eligible for a no claims discount!
If you’re a young driver, insuring your own car can get pretty pricey so make the most of GIO’s 10% family discount for drivers under the age of 25. Alternatively, if you’ve recently bought a new car and want to make sure that, in the event it is written off or stolen, it will be replaced then GIO’s lifetime new car replacement feature makes Platinum Car Insurance an attractive option for you.
Keep in mind that roadside assistance or monthly premiums are optional extras as part of this policy and will cost you a few extra dollars to take up. It is also a good idea to keep GIO up to date with a list of drivers otherwise if you lend your car to a friend and they are at-fault for an accident, you’ll be forced to fork out for a $1,400 unlisted driver excess.

Have been with GIO Car Insurance (Platinum Cover) for quite a few years. Have made several claims- My fault and No fault. This company has always honored the cover as the Insurer. I cannot say a bad word. Repairs were carried out promptly with good workmanship. I have the car hire option too. If you want a new car, if the vehicle is stolen and not recovered or badly damaged, you will receive a brand new vehicle for Life under this policy. This is the only Company that will do this. Can only say good things with this company.

This is one of two that give new for old policy for life. They are the best to deal with. No problems when you have to claim.

A policy payment didnt go through due to a card issue and they forgot to email me about the issue. Two months later they sent me a email at 11pm to let me know that my policy is cancelled as of 11:59pm, leaving my car uninsured overnight. Absolutely disgusting behaviour.

Everything goes fine until you have a claim. I didn't get any support from GIO being with them for 7 years.

Have been insured with Suncorp for 3 years through GIO. My car was recently in a minor accident and had to be towed to repairers. Firstly I was told it was going to be written off and to come empty the car out and then 2 days later I was told they won't be writing it off but they cant repair it either so they offered a cash setlement which is half of what the agreed value is. I was told to come get the car (which wont start and had to be towed) and that they will no longer insure the car as it now has pre existing damage. They then said they can tow the car and dump it out the front of my house. Talked to the complaints department who told me its in all their policies that they can offer cash settlements instead of writing vehicles off when they cant repair them. How is that legal and what is insurance for if they don't repair or write it off? No point having insurance if you aren't covered.
