Common questions about ANZ car insurance

Does ANZ offer CTP insurance?

No – ANZ doesn’t offer Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance in any state or territory of Australia. Check your state or territory government’s website to find out what your CTP options are.

Is roadside assistance available through ANZ?

No – ANZ does not offer roadside assistance as either an add-on to its car insurance products or a separate service.

How do I make a car insurance claim through ANZ?

ANZ changed its insurance provider to CGU on 3 July 2023. If you have taken out car insurance issued by CGU, you can lodge a claim 24/7 using the dedicated phone line.

If you purchased your policy before this date, your insurance will be covered by QBE. Claims under QBE-issued policies can be made online, using the claims form on the ANZ website.

What excesses may apply to my ANZ car insurance policy?

Four types of excess may apply to your policy:

  • Vehicle excess: you must pay the vehicle excess specified on your Certificate of Insurance for most claims
  • Driver excess: if a driver specified on the Certificate of Insurance has a driver excess, it must be paid in addition to the vehicle excess
  • Undisclosed driver excess: when a driver aged 25 years or older and not listed on the Certificate of Insurance is driving, an additional undisclosed driver excess applies
  • Undisclosed driver age excess: if the driver of your vehicle is under 25 years old and not listed on the Certificate of Insurance, an additional undisclosed driver age excess applies
