Got questions about car insurance in WA? We’re here to help you find answers. 

Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance is  as the name suggests  compulsory car insurance in WA. It covers the financial impact of causing accidental injury or death to others as the result of a motor accident where you’re at fault.5 You pay for your CTP car insurance in WA when you register your vehicle with the Department of Transport. 

You may also consider taking out a Youi Comprehensive car insurance, Third Party Fire & Theft insurance, or Third Party Property Only insurance policy, depending on your individual needs. 

Youi Comprehensive car insurance is  unsurprisingly  the most comprehensive policy we offer, providing cover for things such as accidental damage, theft, fire, and some severe weather events such as storms, floods, hail and earthquakes.1

Yes, Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance is mandatory in Western Australia and the cost is included when you register your vehicle with the Department of Transport.6

There’s no single car insurance price in WA. What you pay will depend on a few key factors, such as:  

  • Your age – if you’re under 25, you might be considered a high-risk driver due to a lack of driving experience, which could mean a higher premium 
  • The type of car you drive – its age, market value, condition and colour might impact the cost  
  • Your personal driving record – how long you’ve held your licence and any incurred demerit points could influence your premium 
  • Your location – where you live and where your car is usually parked  on the street, in a garage, or in a driveway  can make a difference 
  • The cover you choose – from Third Party Property Only to Comprehensive, the level of cover affects the cost  
  • How you use your car – whether it’s for business or pleasure matters.  

Insurance is generally all about assessing risk and different areas of WA have different levels of risk when it comes to damage, theft, fire, storms and other insured events. The higher the risk level of the area you live in, the higher your insurance premium will likely be, as it’s statistically more likely that you’ll be affected by an insured event and need to make a claim. 

To compare car insurance quotes in WA, you could start by figuring out which type of cover suits your vehicle best – Comprehensive, Third Party Fire & Theft, or Third Party Property Only. Then, explore options through comparison sites and directly with insurers  as not all are listed. Look closely at what’s included and excluded, compare excesses and extras, and take a moment to read customer reviews. If you’d like to see if Youi has a policy to suit your needs, consider starting a quote or contacting us today.  

This is a complicated question and largely depends on your personal circumstances. However, there are a couple of changes you might want to consider that could reduce the cost of your car insurance in Perth or wider WA.

  • Restrict the age of the people driving your car. Listing drivers under the age of 25 on your car insurance policy may lead to a higher premium. And if you do need to claim for an incident where the car was driven by a younger driver, an additional driver specific excess could apply.7
  • Increase your excess. You can reduce your premium by having a higher excess, but this means you’ll pay more if you have to claim.

In WA, CTP insurance premiums are included as part of your registration fee whenever you register a vehicle or pay a renewal notice.6 Other types of cover, such as Comprehensive car insurance, Third Party Fire & Theft insurance and Third Party Property Only insurance aren’t included with your registration and need to be paid for separately if you choose to buy any of them.
