Green Slips

Also known as Comprehensive Third Party (CTP) insurance. In NSW, there are currently seven Green Slip insurers. Instead of getting quotes from each of them, Motor Accidents Authority (MAA) provides a green slip calculator that asks you a series of basic questions, and gives a fairly accurate estimate of how much each insurer will charge you. Prices include Medical Care and Injury Services (MCIS) and GST. You can find the calculator here: http://prices.maa.nsw.gov.au/

Thing is, I can't remember who's my current CTP insurer. And I didn't get a renewal notice or email. I was hoping to get a better deal through a renewal of policy.

Turns out Roads & Maritime Services (RMS) offers a free greenslip and registration check service at https://myrta.com/regcheck/ Simply enter the plate/registration number, and you'll get a free report with basic vehicle info, registration and CTP insurance details. Anything more, you'll need to pony up $21 for a vehicle history report.
