Warranty and Insurance
Warranty
All vehicles above $3000 have a 5000 km engine and gearbox Australia-wide warranty. If your engine or gearbox needs replacing within 5000 km Travellers Auto Barn will pay for a replacement engine and the cost of fitting. Conditions apply of course. See Terms and Conditions of Sale for a full description of the warranties.
Insurance
The minimum legally required insurance is included with all registered vehicles. This is the compulsory third party personal (CTP) insurance. Known as the 'green slip' only in NSW. As long as the vehicle is registered it has this insurance and you do not need to sight the green slip.
CTP insurance covers the driver for liability with regards to claimants health and medical costs. It may not cover the driver who should have his or her own travel or health insurance.
In Australia Third Party Property Insurance is not compulsory. Third Party Property Insurance covers you against liability for damage your car might cause to other people's property, usually the other car in an accident.
It is strongly recommended that you take Third Party Property Insurance when you buy a car. The Travellers Auto Barn has insurance tailor made for overseas drivers. At $210 for 3 months up to $400 for 12 months and EXCESS FREE: it is exceptionally good value.
Compulsory Insurance
The minimum insurance required by law is included under the registration of all vehicles in Australia. This is the Complsory Third Party Personal Injury (CTP Greenslip) insurance. Vehicles cannot be registered without this certificate, so every car with a current registration sticker has this insurance
CTP insurance covers everyone involved in a motor vehicle accident, except the driver who caused the accident, for medical and disability costs that result from the accident. We at Travellers Auto Barn strongly suggest that everyone travelling to Australia take out his or her own travel/health insurance.
Third Party Property Insurance
It is not required to have any other type of insurance in Australia. However, you may also wish to purchase Third Party Property Damage Insurance that will cover you against costs for damages your car might cause to other people's property, usually the other car in an accident.
We strongly recommend that you take this Third Party Property Insurance when you buy a car. Travellers Auto Barn offers insurance tailor made for overseas drivers. You are allowed up to five drivers, are covered for $5,000,000 (yes, that's five million dollars!) damage, and for drivers over 21 there is no excess (deductible). At $210 for three months, this is exceptional value that can save you money and in the worst-case scenario, save you having to return home early.
