Do I need to list all drivers on my policy?

Our vehicle policies have automatic open driver cover. This means that any drivers who are over 25, with a full New Zealand licence or overseas equivalent, with no criminal convictions and a clean driving history are automatically covered. We recommend that you list regular drivers, under 25 drivers and drivers who don't meet the above criteria to ensure they are covered.

I recently had surgery, when can I drive?

There is no cover if you have been advised or directed not to drive by your doctor, midwife or other medical professional. However, once you have received the all clear to drive, this exclusion will no longer apply.

Does my Car Insurance Policy include AA Membership?

AA Membership is not automatically included in your car insurance policy, but can be purchased separately. It will give you dollar discounts off your insurance premiums. If you're interested in more information, please visit our website .

Can I include Excess-Free Glass Cover on my policy?

You can add Excess-Free Glass Cover to your Comprehensive or Third Party Fire & Theft policies. Glass Cover is not available on Third Party, Classic Vehicle, Motorcycle, Caravan and Trailer policies. If you choose not to include Excess-Free Glass Cover on your Third Party Fire & Theft policy, damage to your windscreen or window glass is covered only if it’s caused by attempted theft or vandalism and the excess would still apply. If you choose not to include Excess-Free Glass Cover on your Comprehensive policy, we will still insure your windscreen and window glass, but you will need to pay an excess for any claim you make.

How do I add a driver to my car policy?

Who is covered to drive my car?

Our car insurance has an open driver policy, unless a special term has been applied to your policy. This means that any drivers who are over 25, with a full New Zealand licence or overseas equivalent, with no criminal convictions and a clean driving history are automatically covered. We do recommend that you list regular drivers, as well as drivers who don’t meet the above criteria, such as those under the age of 25. Please see your policy schedule to determine if a special term has been applied to your policy.
