30 online discounts and sign-up offers for car insurance

When did you last review your car insurance? If it has been a few years, you might find that you could save some serious cash by shopping around.

There’s no excuse for not comparing car insurance policies. After all, you do get the reminder notice in the mail and, with the exception of a few companies, you do need to manually make the payment to renew the cover. Also, you can attract some fantastic discounts by switching your policy online.

Online discounts and sign-up incentives available (as at June 2018)

Offering discounts for applying for or purchasing new policies online has become common practice amongst insurance providers. They offer them to encourage more people to apply online because it’s a more efficient process than over the phone or in a branch, with lower overhead costs for the company.

Below are some of the great discounts and incentives found on provider’s websites (at the time of writing) for buying car insurance online. The discounts are typically in comparison to the standard premium paid for a new policy purchased through the provider’s call centre.

Please note that the star ratings for any products displayed below are based on a male aged 30-39 living in WA who does not require cover for a driver under 25. 

NOTE: Some of these discounts might not apply to extra premiums for optional covers (such as windscreen cover). Also, the discount or saving usually only applies to the first year of premiums. Be sure to read the full terms and conditions of the offers before you apply.

Keep in mind…

While discounts and bonuses sound great, keep in mind that a policy offering an online discount isn’t always better value than one that doesn’t offer one. You’ve got to take into account the quality of the coverage you’re getting for your money.
