How does our pet insurance comparison work?

We don’t charge customers anything to use our comparison service. Instead, we receive a commission each time someone takes out a new pet insurance policy or renews an existing one (depending on the insurer) after using our comparison service to get a quote and being referred to the relevant insurance provider. Please note that this commission is never added to the price the customer pays for their pet insurance policy.

The commission we receive depends on the cost of the policy and the commercial agreement we have with the policy provider. More details about how Compare the Market is paid can be found in our Financial Services Guide (General Insurance Products).

We pride ourselves on the integrity of our comparison service, so it’s critically important to us that how we make money doesn’t affect the comparison or presentation of products from our partners.

Customers can use our comparison service to compare various pet insurance policies and quotes from Australian pet insurers in one place. Our comparison service allows you to enter your details and information about your pet, filter policy options based on the type of cover you want and browse through products that match your search criteria. After you choose a product, you will be referred to one of our pet insurance partners’ websites to complete your application process. Simples!

Our comparison service and any other information on our website is factual or general advice only. We do not make personal recommendations, suggestions, or provide advice about the suitability of a particular insurance product for your or your pet’s specific needs. Instead, we encourage all customers to evaluate their needs, objectives and situation to decide which products are suitable for them, using our comparison service as a helpful tool. More information can be found in our Financial Services Guide (General Insurance Products).

You can use our comparison tool to compare eligible products from the following pet insurance brands:

• Budget Direct
• Coles Insurance
• Fetch
• Knose
• Petsy

There will be times when certain brands may not be available or do not return any quotes to a customer. If a quote is not returned to a customer, it might be because the pet does not meet the underwriting criteria or is not eligible for particular products.

One pet insurance brand on the panel is arranged by Auto & General Services Pty Ltd ACN 003 617 909 on behalf of the insurer Auto & General Insurance Company Limited ACN 111 586 353, both of which are related entities of Compare the Market Pty Ltd. Our relationship with those companies does not impact the integrity of our comparison service. We continue to work hard to encourage brands not currently participating in our comparison service to come on board.
