Car Insurance in NSW

Why NSW drivers need car insurance

Whether you’re stuck in Sydney traffic, dodging potholes in Byron Bay or joining the hordes on holiday via the Pacific Highway, driving in NSW certainly has its challenges.

Road conditions, weather, speed, other drivers and many other factors can contribute to crashes on our roads. Which means that even if you are a safe, considerate driver there’s no guarantee your car won’t end up in a scrape at some time.

That’s why it’s important to have great value car insurance that is tailored to your driving needs, whether you drive a lot or a little, in the city or country, or both.

Eligible drivers could save up to $409 with Pay As You Drive Car Insurance.1

Real Insurance for real NSW drivers

At Real Insurance, we understand there are a range of car insurance needs depending on your lifestyle and location in NSW.

Living in Sydney, or other large cities like Newcastle, the Central Coast or Wollongong present their own challenges like on-street parking, heavy traffic and everything else that comes with a bigger population. You might drive frequent but short distances, or you might catch public transport to work and drive only on weekends.

Living in rural areas like Dubbo, Wagga Wagga or Tamworth, we know that driving long distances goes with the territory. We know you’ll be driving on highways and unsealed roads as well as suburban streets. You might be on the road a lot, or you might only pop to the shops once a week and take short outings to visit friends.

Whatever your circumstances, we’ve got a car insurance product to help get you back on the road in the event of an accident, theft or damage to your vehicle.
