Why prices change 

Are you confused about green slip prices? Perhaps you just received a higher renewal price from your current insurer. Do you know why prices vary?  
 
Insurers set green slip prices. They change their prices every year, sometimes more often. They must submit all price changes to the regulator first. Prices the insurers charge are based on the risk they carry, how many claims people make, and other business decisions. 
 
Green slip prices also change if your personal circumstances change. The cost of your green slip may increase or decrease, depending on information about you, your vehicle and driving history.

How to choose a CTP green slip insurer

Does it make sense to switch?

If your current CTP insurer’s price is too high, we can help you decide on another insurer. Here is what to look for: 

  • They have the cheapest green slips
  • You have an existing relationship with an insurer
  • It is more convenient for you to pay in person or your preferred way
  • You want extra cover for at-fault drivers
  • Having that insurer’s green slip gives you discounts on other types of insurance.

Remember, every green slip must be the same by law. Even if you choose the cheapest green slip, you still receive exactly the same insurance cover. 

What makes your green slip price go up or down? 

$ Up $ Down
City Country
Under 27 Over 27
Ute or Light goods vehicle  Motor car
P1 or P2 plates Full licence
Demerit points No demerits
Claims No Claims

Your top 12 questions and concerns

What is CTP insurance and what does it cover?

CTP insurance stands for Compulsory Third Party insurance. It is compulsory to buy CTP insurance before you can register a vehicle in NSW. CTP covers people who are injured or who die in a road accident involving your vehicle. It does not cover damage to vehicles or property.  

What is a CTP green slip and what does it cover?

A green slip is another name in NSW for Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance. It is a legal requirement for vehicle owners to buy a green slip before they can register their vehicle. A green slip covers them for the injuries or deaths of people in a road accident involving their vehicle. It does not cover damage to vehicles or property.  

Learn more about green slips at greenslips.com.au.

Why do I need a CTP green slip?

CTP greenslips are mandatory in NSW because even very good and experienced drivers are sometimes involved in road accidents. 
 
CTP insurance provides protection from the burden of paying for somebody else’s injuries, especially if they are serious and lifelong. Many people do not have the financial resources to pay the considerable legal and health costs of treating somebody’s serious injuries from a road accident. 

How do I get a green slip?

The best way to get a green slip is to compare prices before you buy. Use the greenslips.com.au Calculator to compare the cheapest prices from all six NSW insurers. It lists their prices from the cheapest to the most expensive. You may consider price only, or have other reasons to prefer one insurer over another. Next buy your green slip directly from that insurer. They will quickly inform Service NSW you have paid, so you can register your vehicle. 

What does a green slip cost?

The cost of a green slip varies widely, depending on details of the owner and their vehicle. The average in July 2024 was $573 for all regions and vehicle types. To find out how much a green slip costs you, use the greenslips.com.au Calculator. It provides prices from all six CTP insurers in NSW, from the cheapest to the most expensive. 

Why are your prices different from the insurer?

Prices should always match, whether you get them from the greenslips.com.au Calculator or the insurer. It is illegal to quote any price that is different from the regulated price. If prices appear not to match, it is always because different information has been used in each case. You can ask us whenever there appears to be a discrepancy.  

Why has the price of my green slip gone up so much? 

The most likely reason for the price rise is because your circumstances have changed. Your green slip price may go up if you have, for example, bought a different car, moved to the city, incurred demerit points, had an at-fault accident or gone into a different age bracket. It’s also possible that your current insurer has generally raised its prices.

As always, use the greenslips.com.au Calculator to make sure you are still getting the best price. 

Why compare green slip prices?

It is worth comparing greenslip prices before renewing registration. Prices vary and the cheapest insurer last year may not be the cheapest insurer this year. Insurers charge different prices depending on customer risk levels. 
 
Insurers use their own weightings to different risk factors to determine the premiums they will charge. Only one insurer now includes At-Fault Driver Cover as an added benefit with its greenslips. 

What is the greenslip price for pensioners? 

The green slip price is not increased or reduced because you are a pensioner. It can be confusing because registration of one vehicle is free for pensioners and Service NSW can automatically renew their registration. However, drawing a pension is not one of the factors insurers use to set green slip prices.

Always compare prices using the greenslips.com.au Calculator 

Why do I need CTP if I have comprehensive insurance? 

You need them both because CTP insurance covers people and comprehensive insurance covers property. CTP insurance is mandatory because it covers people who are injured or die in a road accident involving your vehicle. However, comprehensive insurance for vehicles and property is your choice. There is no motor insurance in Australia that covers people and property. 

What does ‘at-fault’ mean? 

‘At-fault’ means you were 100% at fault or your contribution to the road accident was over 61%. The insurer makes this decision if you claim for more serious injuries. 

I’ve moved to NSW – what do I do about registration and CTP? 

If you have moved to NSW, you have to transfer registration of your vehicle to NSW within 3 months. For the first registration, you must buy CTP insurance, known as a green slip, for 12 months. Use the greenslips.com.au Calculator to compare prices from every insurer. You also need a full inspection of your vehicle, known as a blue slip.  
 
When you have all required documents, go in person to Service NSW to register your car and apply number plates. You can then cancel your interstate registration.

What does CTP insurance cover?

CTP provides coverage for individuals who are killed or injured in a road accident involving your vehicle. This includes coverage for those who sustain catastrophic, lifelong injuries resulting from these accidents. 
 
NSW CTP insurance consists of two main components: 
 
Third Party Insurance Scheme: This part of CTP insurance provides compensation for people who are killed or injured in a road accident involving your vehicle. Compensation may cover expenses, including hospital, medical, and rehabilitation costs, as well as loss of earnings and compensation for pain and suffering. The amounts and types of compensation can sometimes depend on who was at fault in the accident. 

Lifetime Care and Support Scheme: This scheme specifically provides benefits for individuals who suffer catastrophic, lifelong injuries, such as severe spinal cord or brain injuries. Unlike the Third Party Insurance Scheme, benefits under the Lifetime Care and Support Scheme are always available regardless of who was at fault in the accident. The cost of this scheme is funded by the Fund Levy included in your NSW CTP insurance premium. 

By covering both immediate and long-term needs, NSW CTP insurance ensures that those affected by road accidents receive the necessary support and care.
