Westpac comprehensive car insurance offers budget-friendly policies, particularly for younger drivers, with a range of strong benefits and generous limits. It's a solid option for those looking for cheap car insurance.
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.
For the 2024 Finder Car Insurance Awards, our team of car insurance experts analysed over 1,800 quotes from 30 different providers. Of the 30 national car insurance providers compared, Westpac was among the 10 cheapest. However, for drivers over 60, cover was more expensive than average. Keep in mind, the best car insurance for you may depend on more than price.

Hi Harold, That is quite an increase! Insurance prices have increased across the board over the last year or two, but regarding your specific policy, we can’t provide personal advice as we’re a review and comparison site. We recommend you contact Westpac directly. If you’re unhappy with your premium, it’s a good idea to shop around for a better deal – the difference between the cheapest car insurance policy and the most expensive one on our panel is over $1000, so there is a big difference. It’s worth shopping around!
