Pensioners in NSW can get free vehicle registration, but there is no pensioner discount on the green slip itself. CTP greenslip prices are based on risk profiles, not your financial status, so under NSW legislation a greenslip premium cannot be discounted for being a pensioner.    To find the cheapest green slip for your situation, […]

Renewing your green slip is the moment to run a CTP greenslip price comparison, because prices move and loyalty rarely pays on a CTP green slip.    Average green slip prices in NSW rose about 7 percent in the year to June 2025, and the Fund Levy added another $25.80 to every policy from 15 […]

An eco green slip in NSW is a normal CTP green slip with one difference. When you buy an eligible policy through Greenslips4Earth, trees get planted when purchasing through our environmental partner.    The cover is identical, and the price is set by the insurer and approved by SIRA, so going eco costs you nothing […]

If you drive for Uber or any ridesharing service in NSW, the law requires three layers of insurance:   a CTP green slip (compulsory third party CTP covering personal injuries),  at least $5 million third party property damage cover (Uber’s legal requirement for NSW driver-partners),  and ideally comprehensive car insurance with rideshare cover added for […]

In New South Wales, every vehicle registered under your business needs its own CTP Green Slip, and there’s no universal “small business fleet discount” for operators with fewer than 10 vehicles.    What changed in 2026 is how the Fund Levy, annual SIRA pricing reviews, and the compounding effect of the 2017 reforms now land […]
