Manage episode 419694044 series 2098285
Owning a car is getting more and more expensive.
Online Insurance Platform Quashed reported a 40% increase in average comprehensive and third-party quotes over the last year.
Stats NZ is reporting a 22.6% overall.
Consumer NZ CEO John Duffy told Mike Hosking that there’s a lot of causes behind this, but a big one is unforeseen weather events such as Cyclone Gabrielle.
