Car Insurance Providers in Australia

The country’s motor and home insurance industry is dominated by four major players: IAG, Suncorp, QBE and Allianz. In 2020 the Australian car insurance market generated about US$12 billion of direct written premiums (DWP) and is expected to grow in 2021. Automobile sales in Australia declined during 2019-2020 due to lower consumer spending and the impact of COVID-19. New vehicle sales in 2020 declined by 14% year-on-year, according to the Australian Automotive Dealers Association. Here is a list of car insurance companies operating in Australia.
