Passengers.

You've got a claim of your own — and it doesn't cost your driver anything.

You're covered the same whether the driver was you, your partner, or someone you'd never met. Passenger claims run on the insurance the car already carries — not out of the driver's pocket. Plenty of people never realise this and miss out on real support. Give us a call and we'll sort it.

Leave your number. We'll call you back.

The thing most passengers don't know

You didn't cause the crash. That matters.

If you were a passenger, you weren't steering, braking, or making the call on anything. You were just in the car. That means when it comes to your claim, you're effectively not the one at fault — pretty much ever.

That's a bigger deal than it sounds. It usually opens up the full picture: income while you can't work, medical and rehab paid for, psychological support, and for more serious injuries a lump sum on top.

The claim runs on the car's insurance. Not on the driver. They don't pay a cent of what you get.

What's usually on the table

What we help sort.

Because you weren't driving, fault isn't really your problem. The claim tends to run smoothly.

01

Income while you can't work

Weekly payments based on what you were earning. Paid straight into your account while you recover.

02

Medical and rehab

GP, physio, psychological, specialist appointments. Pre-approved and paid through the scheme. No out-of-pocket while you recover.

How it works
03

Lump sum (serious injuries)

For injuries with lasting impact there's often a lump sum on top — pain, future lost income, future care. We walk you through whether it applies.

If the driver's a mate or family

This isn't personal — it's insurance.

Passengers often hesitate to claim when the driver was a mate, partner, parent, or colleague. It feels awkward — like they're the one on the hook. They're not. The claim runs on the car's insurance, which is exactly what it exists for.

The driver doesn't pay a cent of what you get. Their premium might go up at renewal — that's a separate conversation they'll have with their insurer — but that doesn't affect you.

When passengers don't claim, they often end up wearing it — unpaid leave, medical bills, time off work — while the insurance sits there unused. In our experience, most drivers are relieved when their passenger claims through the policy. It's what the policy's for.

Common questions

Passenger-specific

Your claim runs on the car's insurance, not on your mate personally. Every NSW-registered car carries it by law — that's what it's for. It's not a claim against them. They don't pay a cent of what you receive. Their premium might change at renewal, but that's a separate thing between them and their insurer.
