Multiple crash premium
If you are 50 per cent or more at fault for three crashes in three years, you might need to pay a multiple crash premium (MCP) of $1,000 in addition to your regular Autoplan premiums. For each additional crash within three years, you would pay an extra $500.
If you are less than 50 per cent at fault for these crashes, the multiple crash premium doesn't apply to you.
Before you renew your licence or insurance
Your multiple crash premium must be paid before renewing your driver's licence or car insurance. Interest is applied to any outstanding amount.
