Tasmania has plenty to see, and a car is often the best way to get around. So it makes sense that car insurance is something that drivers might like to consider. Depending on your needs and budget, you can choose the level of cover that suits you best.
Here are the different types of car insurance available to drivers in Tasmania.
Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance in Tasmania is managed by the Motor Accidents Insurance Board (MAIB) rather than private insurance companies. A CTP premium is included each year as part of your car’s annual registration renewal fee. However, CTP only covers you for the cost of any claims if you injure or kill someone in a car accident. It doesn’t insure you for any damage to property, including your own car.
Third party property insurance covers you if you damage someone else’s property in an accident. Your own car is not normally protected under this type of insurance. Some insurers may cover your car under third party property insurance though it is typically for a limited sum, often as little as $5,000.
Further along the scale is third party fire and theft insurance. This generally provides the same type of cover as third party property policies with the additional benefit that your car is insured if it is stolen or catches fire. Here too, the level of cover for your car can be limited, potentially limited to a maximum of $10,000.
Comprehensive car insurance in Tasmania can provide a broad range of protection. While policy details can differ between insurers, you are normally covered for the cost of repairs or replacement of your car if it is stolen, damaged by collision or fire, or if it experiences malicious damage and even weather-related damage.
Comprehensive car insurance usually also includes cover for damage you cause to someone else’s car or property in a collision.

When it comes to car insurance, there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ product that’s best for everyone. The matter of choosing the ‘best’ car insurance for your situation is subjective, and depends on your needs and budget.
If you only want to be insured for the damage you might cause to others’ vehicle and property, then third party damage insurance may be sufficient for your requirement. However, if you also want cover for your own car in case of an accident, fire, or flood, then comprehensive insurance—though more expensive—may be more appropriate.

As with most car insurance policies across Australia, drivers in Tasmania can usually choose from a range of optional add-ons to customise their cover. These add-ons can offer extra peace of mind or fill coverage gaps in a standard policy. These may include:
Keep in mind that availability and costs vary between insurers, so it’s worth comparing policies and reading the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) before choosing.
The cost of car insurance in Tasmania can vary depending on several factors. Insurers typically consider things like your age, the make and model of your car, where you live, how your car is parked overnight, and any optional extras you add to your policy.
Beyond that, the level of cover you choose will also impact your premium. For example, comprehensive policies generally cost more than third party options, but they offer broader protection.
If you’re looking to reduce your premiums, there are a few things you could consider:
That said, the premium shouldn’t be the only factor you weigh up. The level of cover a policy provides can make a big difference to the value for money you receive.
