We analyse over 80 car insurance products and rate each one on price and features. What we get out the other end is a nice round number out of 10 to help you start comparing.
To make sure we're comparing apples with apples, we collect quotes for 8 different personas and analyse different car insurance features. Our team then does some fancy maths to get the Finder Score, taking both price and features into account. We analyse comprehensive, third party fire and theft and third party property damage products individually.
The best car insurance for you is one that gives you the amount of coverage you're looking for at a price you can afford.

"My car insurance with AAMI was up for renewal with a total increase of $537. No change to vehicle use or where the vehicle is located. I compared insurers on Finder and received a quote for the Budget Direct Comprehensive policy with comparable cover to my existing policy for $1,000 less. I added my partner as a listed driver, removed some of the optional benefits I didn't feel I needed and adjusted the standard excess from $795 to $700. The policy covers everything I need and it's way more affordable."
