FAQs
How does car insurance work with repairs?
Car insurance provides financial protection by covering repair costs when your vehicle is damaged in an accident, theft, or other insured events. After an incident, you lodge a claim with your insurer, who assesses the damage and approves repairs. Depending on your policy, the insurer may cover all costs above your excess or specify limits. Some insurers have preferred repairers, but many allow you to choose your own. Repairs generally won’t commence until the claim is approved, and it’s important to follow the insurer’s procedures carefully. Comprehensive policies offer the widest coverage, ensuring peace of mind in various situations.
What is an excess?
An excess is the amount you agree to pay out of pocket when making an insurance claim. For example, if your policy has a $600 excess and your repair costs total $3,000, you’ll pay $600 while the insurer covers the remaining $2,400. Excesses can vary based on the policy, driver history, and vehicle type. Some policies allow you to adjust the excess—raising it can lower your premium, while a lower excess usually means higher premiums. It’s crucial to understand your policy’s excess and be prepared to pay it if you need to claim, as repairs typically won’t proceed until it’s settled.
Does insurance cover all types of damage?
Comprehensive car insurance generally covers a wide range of damage, including accidents, theft, fire, vandalism, and natural events like hailstorms. However, there are exclusions, such as wear and tear, mechanical failures, and damage from illegal activities or unlicensed driving. Third-party policies offer limited coverage, usually only for damage you cause to other people’s property, not your own vehicle. It’s vital to read your policy’s Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) to understand what is and isn’t covered. Clarifying these details upfront helps prevent surprises when you need to lodge a claim and ensures you have the protection you expect.
