FMG: New Zealand’s Favourite Car Insurance

We all take out insurance in the hope we’ll never have to use it. But if the worst does occur, you need to know the insurance you’ve been paying for is there to cover your valuable set of wheels.

That’s why, here at Canstar each year, we ask everyday Kiwis how they feel about their car insurance providers, to measure their levels of satisfaction and help people find the best insurance providers.

This year, our consumer research team canvassed the opinions of more than 3000 Kiwis with a current car insurance policy. We asked them to rate their satisfaction across a number of key drivers of satisfaction:

• Overall Satisfaction
• Communication
• Comprehensiveness of Cover
• Cost
• Customer Service
• Value for Money

And they make it clear, FMG is the way to go, and the winner of our Most Satisfied Customers | Car Insurance Award for 2022!
