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 and multi-policy discounts.
GIO's standard and 'Platinum' levels of comprehensive car insurance both offer a wide range of cover. The latter provides the broadest insurance.
GIO Platinum Car Insurance will cover not only your car but any personal property within your car up to the value of $1,000 and baby seats or capsules up to $750. Windscreen cover also comes as standard as part of this policy, with one excess-free claim each policy period. You are also given the freedom to select a repairer you personally trust if your car needs fixing.
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 (this only applied to the Platinum policy). The main thing to note about Platinum Car Insurance is that it doesn’t come with roadside assistance as standard, but this is available as an additional extra starting from $95 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.
Then, 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. And if you hold three or more insurance policies with GIO, then you could nab another 10% off.
Safe drivers will be rewarded with a no claims bonus between 5% and 20% depending on how long they hold a GIO policy without making a claim. And finally, if you're a NSW resident and take out your Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance with GIO, they'll knock $50 off the bill.
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 it will be replaced at the right value, 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 extra. 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.

I like GIO insurance and I’m happy in overall with the service they provide ,however there are some point which are not so great. Car insurance is a little more costly ,however the difference from others in the same value it is only small margin and service is good The penalty for demerit points is reflected in high cost of insurance so it’s not exactly a fair go you will get struck twice one on your licence the other on your insurance. Again unfair I could take the point if you have a lots of accident the insurance is higher but don’t get the increase of insurance only in matter of demerit points .It a government behind this or just pure intention as they do it because they can and have excuse of taking more money.

GIO is very responsive and helpful when making a claim. You’re not stuck waiting on hold for hours or talking to people who don’t understand you.

GIO was completely understanding and caring when I had my accident, asking if I was OK personally and understanding that I wasn't aware of all the car terms I had to dictate to them over the phone when describing damage.

I know I'm covered if I run off the road or into a lake! I like Gio thus far. There prices are average as far as I know.
