How does TrueCover compare with other car insurers?
TrueCover is one of the more comprehensive car insurers on the market. It covers everything you get with a typical comprehensive policy and a bit more. For example, you don't get roadside assistance included with most insurers, and we've never seen an insurer offer ambulance cover before. This is really helpful in most Australian states (ambulances typically cost over $1,000 and aren't covered by Medicare). TrueCover's ambulance benefit will cover up to $400 of the cost and extends to all passengers at the time of the accident, not just listed drivers.
We analyse over 100 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 8 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.
On top of standard inclusions, TrueCover has a few optional add-ons:
Hire car cover. If your car is involved in an incident, it will cover a hire car for up to 14 days, up to a daily rate of $50 per day. This is a similar level of coverage to other insurers, though some have a higher daily rate of around $70.
Car contents cover. It will cover up to $2,000 for the loss or damage to personal items during an incident. Some policies automatically include cover for personal belongings.
Windscreen cover. This will cover you for up to $1,000 for the repair or replacement of your front windscreen. TrueCover will reduce your excess to $50 for this.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands 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. You can learn more about how we make money.
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.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
