Which car insurance providers have the most satisfied customers in 2022?

Canstar surveyed thousands of Australians to find out how satisfied they are with their current car insurance provider.

We asked Aussies to rate their provider based on factors like customer service, value for money and how comprehensive their coverage is.

The providers who scored the highest overall have been awarded with Canstar’s 2022 Most Satisfied Customers Award for car insurance. We’ve also handed out Most Satisfied Customers Awards for Seniors Insurance and Roadside Assistance.

The Awards are designed to complement our Star Ratings and Awards, which are judged by our expert researchers based on the pricing and features of eligible products and providers.
