2019 Mozo Experts Choice Award winner
Lifetime new car replacement

Mozo snapshot:
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 2019 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.
Key features:
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 case scenario eventuates 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 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 ease 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!
Who it's good for:
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.
Any catches?
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.

GIO, you're the worst! Our car got into minor incident. We called YOU hoping that you could help us. But no, instead we waited ages and we were the one who had to reach to you for an update and when we called, you told the car is not repairable and its been statutory written off. You’re offering us $2,000 and not even sympathetic about the situation. You cancelled our registration without our consent, let alone informed us about it. We can’t see our car. You refuse give us any information about the car and why it’s not drivable anymore. The car was working fine. We used it for a whole week before we gave it to you and nothing was wrong with it, only the booth wouldn’t open without using a key. Now you can’t even tell us what is wrong with the car. We haven’t agreed to anything and yet you unregistered our car. GIO, you are LESS THAN HELPFUL.

Been with GIO for 31 years and first claim ever and it’s a total nightmare. Totally perfect until you make a claim. The lies are endless.

Customer service top of the class.
I have been with GIO for many years and have filed several claims which were all dealt with promptly. In fact for my last claim, my car had several issues and all the repairs were sorted to my satisfaction.
