    Pay as you drive car insurance

    If you don't use your car very much, a Pay as You Drive (or Pay as You Go) may be a cover option that suits. This type of policy offers a more flexible approach to car insurance than comprehensive insurance, as you only pay for the kilometres you usually drive, but you still get the same cover as traditional comprehensive car insurance.

It will depend on the level of car insurance that you purchase, however Comprehensive Car Insurance (the most popular type) will generally cover you for accidents and theft, but it will not cover you for breakdowns. Read the Product Disclosure Statement of the policy you wish to purchase to see cover details.
If you have an accident you should first of all ensure your car is secure, then report the accident to the police. You should then call your insurer and report the incident.

You should then contact your insurer as soon as possible.
