Comprehensive Plus Car Insurance Premium

HOW WE HELP

We help Kidsafe by supporting a range of road safety initiatives.

This NRMA Comprehensive Plus Motor Insurance Premium, Excess, Discounts and Helpline Benefits Guide should be read with the NRMA Comprehensive Plus Motor Insurance Product Disclosure Statement and Policy Booklet (PDS) (QLD) Edition 1, dated 2 January 2009.

It applies to policies with a commencement date or renewal date on or after 16 November 2010.

Your insurance premium is based on the likelihood of a claim being made on your Policy in the future. There are a number of factors we take into account when determining your premium.

We calculate your premium by combining the:

pricing factors
discounts
No Claim Discount protection, and
government charges.

Pricing Factors

The premium you pay for your insurance reflects the likelihood of you making a claim together with the potential value of any claim. So, if you have a lower chance of making a claim then you will generally pay a lower premium compared to someone who has a higher chance of making a claim.

Our experience shows there are a number of factors that are a good indicator of the possibility of a claim being made. We call these pricing factors.

For Comprehensive Plus policies the pricing factors we may take into account to determine your premium are:

The suburb where your vehicle is kept
The age and gender of owners and drivers of your vehicle
Your vehicle, which includes any modifications, security features and its fuel efficiency, as shown on your Certificate of Insurance
If you have finance held against your vehicle, and the type of finance held
The number and type of claims and incidents that all owners and drivers have had in the last five years
The amount your vehicle is insured for as shown on your Certificate of Insurance
If you pay your premium by monthly instalments
The way you use your vehicle, for example, private or business use

Discounts

The following discounts are available for Comprehensive Plus:

No Claim Discount
Multi-Policy Discount
Years of Insurance Discount
Choice of Excess Discount

We calculate the discounts that apply to your Policy before we tell you what your premium will be. Please see the Discounts section of this guide for further details.

No Claim Discount protection

If you have Comprehensive Plus you may be eligible to protect your No Claim Discount by paying an additional premium. Please see the Discounts section of this guide for further details about protecting your No Claim Discount.

Government charges

Comprehensive Plus policies are subject to stamp duty imposed by state and territory governments in addition to GST.
