RAA offers a good level of cover and Finder cost research shows premiums were typically cheaper than the South Australian average in comparison to other car insurers.
We analyse over 30 car insurance products and rate each one on price and features. What we get out the other end is a nice round number between 1 and 10 to help you start comparing.
To make sure we're comparing apples with apples, we collect quotes for 6 different personas, then work out the value of 19 different car insurance features. Our team then does some fancy maths to get the Finder Score, taking both price and features into account.
Price comparison data from the 2024 Finder Insurance Awards determined that the average cost of a comprehensive car insurance policy in South Australia is $1,233. In comparison, RAA's average quote was $1,057.
