What is Drive Less Pay Less Car Insurance?

Everyday Drive Less Pay Less  Insurance is a flexible and cost-effective option designed for individuals who don't frequently use their vehicles. This type of insurance allows you to pay only for the kilometres you plan to drive, offering the same coverage as Comprehensive Car Insurance at a reduced rate.

 

Why choose Drive Less Pay Less Insurance?

Cost Savings: Pay only for the kilometres you plan to drive, potentially saving on your premium.

Comprehensive Cover: Enjoy the same level of protection as Comprehensive Car Insurance, including coverage for accidents, theft, and damage.

Flexibility: Adjust your coverage throughout the policy period by updating your end odometer reading in My Insurance Portal.

 

How does it work?

1. Start Odometer Reading: When you start your policy, provide your car's current odometer reading.

2. Kilometres Estimate: Estimate the total kilometres you expect to drive during the policy period. This determines your "end odometer reading."

3. Coverage and Premium:  Your premium is calculated based on your estimated kilometres. You get the same comprehensive cover as a standard policy, but potentially at a lower price since you're driving less.

4. Claims: If your odometer reading at the time of a claim is outside the agreed-upon range, you'll still have cover, but an additional "Outside Odometer Excess" of $1,000 will apply, in addition to any other applicable excesses.

 

Managing your end odometer reading

The "end odometer reading" represents the maximum kilometres agreed upon for your policy period. Ensure this figure is accurate to avoid the  "Outside Odometer Excess".
