About Everyday Insurance

Everyday Insurance (formerly Woolworths Insurance) has been providing insurance since 2011. They provide car insurance as well as home (including cover for landlords and renters), pet, roadside assistance and life insurance products.

Everyday Insurance is issued and underwritten by global insurance powerhouse, Hollard.

What Everyday car insurance covers

Everyday Insurance offers customers a selection of policies, including Third Party Property Damage, Third Party Fire and Theft and a Comprehensive policy (the broadest level of cover available). Everyday Insurance also offers roadside assistance as a standalone product or as an optional extra available for all levels of car insurance.

Additionally, if you don’t drive very often, you could be eligible for an Everyday Drive Less Pay Less car policy. It provides the same coverage as their Comprehensive product at a competitive cost to reflect the minimal usage of your car.

Everyday car insurance covers a range of insured events under each policy, which are outlined below.

Frequently asked questions

How can I pay for my Everyday car insurance and is it cheaper to pay my premium annually?

Everyday Insurance accepts direct debit payments on an annual or monthly basis.

For new customers, it’s as easy as setting up a direct debit when you are ready to purchase a policy. Your first and future payments will then be automatically debited within five business days from the policy start date.

If you’re a returning customer renewing your policy, Everyday Insurance will send you a renewal notice at least 14 days before the renewal date.

For all car policies, you can choose to pay annually or monthly payment schedules. However, if you choose to pay your premium annually, you’ll save additional costs.

Does Everyday car insurance cover drivers under 25?

Everyday car insurance can cover drivers under 25 years old, whether through your own policy or as a listed driver on someone else’s. Additionally, certain age restrictions may apply to certain vehicles.

How do I make a car insurance claim with Everyday insurance?

You can make a claim 24/7 in two ways: calling the dedicated claims line or logging in to your customer account on Everyday Insurance’s website. You’ll need to provide details when you go to make a claim, including:

  • Your policy number
  • The date, time and location of the incident
  • What happened
  • The name, address, contact number and licence number of any other drivers involved
  • The contact details of any witnesses
  • The cars involved
  • Photographs
  • Police reports (if applicable)

What is the excess on Everyday car insurance?

You will have to pay any applicable excesses when making a claim. You will likely have a basic excess as well as any others that might apply depending on the circumstances of your claim. These can include:

  • Learner driver excess if the driver is on their learner’s licence.
  • Age excess if the driver is under 25 (does not apply to learner drivers).
  • Undeclared young driver excess if the driver is under 25 and not listed on the Certificate of Insurance. This does not apply if the learner driver excess applies, but it does apply in addition to any applicable age excess.
  • Inexperienced driver excess if the driver is 25 or older but has not held aa valid licence to drive in Australia for at least two years (does not apply to learner drivers).
  • Outside odometer excess applies to Drive Less Pay Less customers. This excess applies when your odometer reading at renewal is below the start reading or above the end reading listed in the Certificate of Insurance. It can also apply when the odometer is faulty or replaced and Everyday Insurance was not notified.
  • Special excess is only applied if shown on your Certificate of Insurance and may be based on things such as the car, its use, your driving record or the insurance history of the listed drivers that use the car.

How do I cancel my Everyday car insurance?

You can cancel your car insurance policy anytime by calling Everyday Insurance on the phone or using the online customer login which you will be provided access to upon purchasing a policy. Everyday Insurance gives customers a 14-day cooling-off period where you will receive a full refund if you cancel your policy within 14 days from purchasing or renewing (provided you haven’t made any claims).

If you paid for the full year and cancelled after the cooling-off period, you will receive a refund for the rest of the year’s coverage you haven’t used yet.  If you have made a claim, any payouts would also affect your refund.

What isn’t covered by Everyday car insurance?

There are a number of general exclusions which mean that any claim you make for these won’t be covered by Everyday Insurance. For example, these exclusions include (but are not limited to):

  • Unaccompanied learner drivers
  • Drivers below the age of 25 if this age restriction is listed on the Certificate of Insurance
  • Unlicensed driver or not complying with the conditions of their licence
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Dangerous driving
  • Transporting dangerous goods
  • Carrying passengers for money
  • Using the car for driving tuition in exchange for payment
  • Motorsports
  • Carrying more passengers than the car is designed to carry
  • Using the wrong fuel type for your car
  • General wear and tear
  • Deliberate damage to the car by yourself or where you gave implied or actual consent for someone else to carry out the damage
  • Fraudulent claims
  • Illegal activity

N.B. Other conditions and exclusions apply.
