What kinds of Car Insurance are available in QLD?

Compulsory Third Party Insurance (CTP)

CTP is a must-have for all drivers in the Sunshine State. It’s actually compulsory across all states to some degree (and for good reason). CTP helps Queenslanders from being held financially responsible if they injure someone in a vehicle accident. This includes passengers, pedestrians and other drivers. If you were injured as a result of another driver’s actions, you can also claim under CTP insurance to access medical treatment and compensation.

Comprehensive Cover

Comprehensive Cover can help with the cost of repairs or even the replacement of your car and property whether you’re at fault or not. Depending on your policy, it can also help cover other costs associated with an incident such as emergency repairs, transportation and damage caused by other drivers.

Third Party Property Cover

Third Party Property Insurance can help cover any damage that you may have caused to another person’s muchloved vehicle or property. It can include legal costs but it generally doesn’t cover the cost of damage to your own car.

Third Party Fire and Theft Cover

Third Party Fire and Theft Cover helps provide cover for the loss or damage of your car if it’s stolen or catches on fire, as well as your liability for damage caused by your car to another person’s property.

How much does Car Insurance cost in Queensland?

Taking a look at iSelect’s Car Insurance data for Queensland, here are the average comprehensive premiums for 2022 for males and females.

Helpful Tip:

When it comes to figuring out which car insurance policy is suitable for you, it’s important to weigh up the risks. For example, if you live in an area of Queensland that’s prone to extreme weather events, like tropical cyclones, then it might be a good idea to take that into account when looking for a policy. Comprehensive insurance could be worth considering if you’re looking for a policy that can help cover repair costs to your own vehicle if you’re at fault in an accident.
