“This year’s winners clearly excel in providing the best value for money and exceptional customer protection, and as premiums continue to rise it’s never been more crucial for drivers to compare policies and see if they can get a better deal on their car insurance."

The comprehensive analysis of 295,346 car insurance quotes across 61 policies has revealed which Australian insurers offer the best value and highest quality in car insurance. This included looking at 9,600 quotes from each provider.

"In the awards judging process we evaluate car insurance providers on both price and features, to ensure we’re recommending the best options for a range of customer profiles, from young drivers to seniors.”
