When you’re not jetsetting to new holiday or business destinations, you can still ‘fly’ with Qantas via Qantas Comprehensive Car Insurance. This policy considers all the basic costs you may need to cover if you’re involved in an accident – like damage to your vehicle and towing from the scene – as well as handy extras such as hire car and emergency travel and accommodation coverage. Plus, simply by signing up and paying your premium, you’ll be racking up Qantas points along the way.
If you like to cover your bases and get rewarded for your diligence, Qantas Comprehensive Car Insurance could be your ideal policy. You’ll be protecting your wheels against all the usual suspects: fire, theft and damage caused in an accident (plus up to $20 million in damage to other vehicles). Plus, if your snazzy new car is written-off within two years and has travelled less than 40,000km, it'll be replaced with a new one.
You’ll be covered for a hire car for up to 14 days following a theft, or in the case of a not-at-fault accident, until your car is repaired or a claim paid. Emergency travel and accommodation costs after an accident are also included in the policy ($200 per-day, up to $1,000), and if you’re towing a trailer or caravan, it’ll be covered for up to $1,000.
The list of insured items really goes on with this policy. Baby seats are covered for theft and damage up to $750, as are any personal items kept in the car. You also won’t have to stress if your keys are lost or stolen – they’re covered for up to $1,500. There are a few general exclusions to remember, including tyre damage caused by punctures, cuts or bursts, hiring the car out, or using it in a rideshare service.
But what of the rewards program, you say? Well, by signing up to the policy, you can score up to 20,000 Qantas points (until 30 June, 2021) based on your premium costs. Plus, for every $1 you spend on your premium, you’ll nab another Qantas point.
This far-reaching policy is well suited to drivers who want to sleep easy knowing their car is covered in a wide range of circumstances. The Qantas points rewards program also makes it a top choice for frequent flyers.
There is a young driver's excess of up to $600 for people under 21, and if you want to pay your premium in monthly instalments, you’ll have to fork out a little extra cash.
And remember, if you’re planning on using your car working for rideshares like Uber, Ola or any other paid taxi service, this won’t be covered.

Most dramatic insurance company ever. All good and great until you sign up. As for the claim, one hoop after the other to jump over. Even if the claim is not at fault. They are just collecting unnecessary information off clients, including the card numbers previously used? I just hope that the repair is better than this. Definitely not recommend it.

This is the worst insurance company I have ever dealt with. Please stay away from it. Your claim will take forever to be reviewed. You will wait for a minimum of an hour on the phone and they will still not answer your call. I have claimed for an accident. One month later and I am still waiting for an answer. They want to repair a total loss car. They want to even change my chassis and repair an unrepairable car. My car is a Landcruiser Sahara. Stay away.

I changed my car insurer to Qantas, clearly in hindsight the worst mistake I could have made. Previously I've been with AAMI and had great experiences on the sad occasions when their services were required. I will be returning to AAMI, I'm sorry I changed. I have found Qantas Car Insurance to be bluntly uncooperative, unhelpful and clearly a service on a fixed budget. The accident was no fault of mine, you would think I was asking for the world when all I asked for was compensation for subsequent travel incurred by the claims process. The only response from Qantas was that they were 'okay' if I went after the other guy's insurer myself for the out of pocket. Fair enough if firstly, I hadn't ticked the box on the application and paid for provision of a rental car if my car was under repair, But I did tick the box and I did pay you. Secondly I engaged Qantas as my insurer, alert Qantas, that's why people that don't self insure pay for the services of companies like you. To provide service, something that appears to be sadly lacking. Thirdly as the out of pocket was caused by Qantas' poor service ethic in this instance I thought no. You certainly don't receive the service their marketing promises give expectation to. Don't do it, go elsewhere for your cover. It isn't worth whatever the theoretical saving might be. When you need your insurer and you have a similar experience as myself, you will be disappointed and frustrated if you choose Qantas,, just as I have been. Qantas, stick to flying planes leave the auto insurance game for companies that provide service consummate with cost.

I went on their website and got a quick and easy quote for two cars. Left the quotes while discussing with hubby and then they called me and my hubby back to see if needed any help. Qantas had a promotion about the frequent flyer points and received them within the time period.
