I wasn't convinced comprehensive car insurance was worth it until my car was stolen. If I didn't have comprehensive cover, I would have been out of pocket thousands of dollars when buying a new car.— Tom Stelzer, Finder Publisher

To give you an idea of how much comprehensive car insurance might cost, we've broken down prices by different ages. Keep in mind, costs differ based on your individual circumstances.
I once made the mistake of insuring a brand new car for market value instead of agreed value (in an attempt to save on my premium). Unfortunately, the car was stolen and written off. When I went to claim on insurance, I found that the market value wasn't high enough to cover what I still owed on the car and I ended up being out of pocket by around $7,000. While insuring for agreed value can increase your premium, at least it could prevent you from being stuck in the position I was!— Alex Dalrymple, car owner
