What’s Comprehensive Car Insurance?
Comprehensive Insurance protects you from potentially hefty bills in the event of an accident. Regardless of who is at fault, you and anyone permitted to drive your vehicle, will be covered for collision damage to your vehicle and other people’s property.^
Go with the standard inclusions, or add optional extras to suit your needs and budget — like hire car cover, windscreen cover with no excess or pick your own licensed repairer.¹
Key benefit
Hire car cover if your vehicle can’t be driven after a not-at-fault collision until it’s repaired, or your claim is settled. The name and address of the driver at-fault has to be provided to RACV Insurance.
More than just great cover
