No cover while driving under the influence of anything not prescribed by a doctor
No cover outside of Australia
No cover if your vehicle's being used for any unlawful purpose
No cover in the event of too many passengers or towing a load that's too heavy
No cover if your vehicle's being driven in an unsafe or overloaded condition
No cover if you're carrying or storing explosives or flammables
Read Club 4X4's product disclosure statement (PDS) – available on its website – to learn more about the provider's policy exclusions.
Keep in mind you'll need to pay an excess to make a claim on your insurance. This is what you need to pay upfront towards the cost of making a claim. Excess options should be stated when you sign up. At the time of writing, the lowest excess available with Club 4X4 was $650.
According to Club 4X4, you could reduce your premium in 3 ways: paying for your insurance annually, increasing your basic excess or adding age restrictions excluding drivers below a certain age from cover.
Bottom line about Club 4X4 car insurance
Club 4X4 comprehensive insurance policy is both flexible and set up to meet a wide range of risks for drivers – whether they're on- or off-road at the time when trouble strikes. Cover limits are pretty competitive and you'll have choice that goes beyond cover for your 4WD and its accessories: you can also choose caravan, camper trailer, slide-on camper or 5th wheeler insurance.
Meanwhile, optional covers with Club 4X4 include roadside assistance and excess-free windscreen or glass cover. You can further boost your insurance with additional vehicle hire cover, off-road recovery costs and personal effects cover. You'll need to pay extras to add these features to your cover.

Important information about this website
Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
