"My mother (74) got a renewal letter from her insurance company for her car insurance, wanting $570. After reading
your article on car insurance, I contacted one of the companies you recommended, who quoted her $318 for the same
level of cover. I just wanted to stay thank you very much for your article, as it has saved my mother a substantial amount of money".

Guide to the table
Policies surveyed are comprehensive policies sold direct to consumers by companies which agreed to take part in our survey. Tower Cover4Car is used to quote for "young man" and "young woman" profiles only; Tailored Protection is used for all other profiles.
Premiums
5 stars are the least expensive premiums; 1 star the most expensive. Ratings are based on an average price of quotes from 5 locations around New Zealand as at October 2011. Use these ratings as a guide to the pricing policies of the companies for the different consumer profiles.
Premium based on
The type of cover the premium quotes are based on - "agreed value" or "market value". In an agreed-value policy, you and the insurance company agree on what your vehicle’s worth (this may take a bit of negotiation). A market-value policy is where your vehicle is valued at its re-sale price on the open market.
Excesses
Children's excess only applicable for the following profiles: Family of four, Mother and daughter. See Consumer profiles for more details.
