We’ve designed our Car Insurance from a uniquely female standpoint, creating real benefits for safer female drivers. With that being said, if you happen to be male or non-binary, of course we’ll cover you too.
Underwritten by VSC, a global company with 300 million customers worldwide, Stella is competitive on price (grab a quick quote and see for yourself!). By listening to what women of Australia want from their insurance, we’ve created a simplified, easy and intuitive experience.
Additional Benefits
Cover for baby capsules and child safety seats stolen from your car, emergency and transport costs where the incident is further than 100km from home, towing to the nearest repairer, windscreen repairs (not replacements), stolen keys and more*.
$20m Third Party Liability
If your car causes damage to other people’s property, we’ll cover your liability up to twenty million dollars.
Personal Items
If your car has been stolen or involved in an accident, we’ll pay up to $1,000 for loss or damage to your personal belongings.
Baby Gear
We’ll pay up to $2,000 for baby gear, such as prams, strollers and other essential baby items that are damaged in a covered incident or stolen from your car.
No Claim Reward
For every consecutive year you don’t make a claim, or only make a claim for a car accident where you were not-at-fault, we’ll reduce your basic excess by $100 each year for up to three years.
New Car Replacement
If you’re the first registered owner of a car and it is written off in its first three years and has driven less than 60,000 km, we’ll replace it with a new car.
Theft and Accident Damage
We’ll protect you from damage or loss caused by theft, attempted theft, collision, malicious damage, fire and natural events such as hail, storm, flood or bushfire.
Domestic Violence Cover
We will not apply any excess to a claim for damage to your car that arises from a deliberate act by a current or former spouse or partner. It is required that the incident has to have been reported to the police.
*Policy terms & conditions, limitations and exclusions apply. Please see the Product Disclosure Statement for more details.

comprehensive policy until it’s just right for you.

At Stella we aim to be completely transparent with any costs and fees. Therefore, we have chosen to disclose the administration fee separately on your premium breakdown.
We charge an annual administration fee which is payable when you enter or renew your insurance policy. An administration fee is charged to cover costs associated with opening, maintaining or closing an insurance policy.
Currently, your monthly premium instalments are debited from your nominated debit or credit card on your scheduled instalment date each month. We aim to offer other payment options in the near future to have options that suit your needs.
It is super easy! You can change your payment details at any time via your online customer portal. Simply log in at the top of the web app and select the policy you want to update your details for. Then select ‘Update Payment Details’ to securely enter the preferred debit or credit card. You will be shown a green tick once this has been confirmed.
If you have missed a payment and need us to retry the outstanding amount to your updated card, please contact us via Live chat, email or call to arrange a retry.
You can cancel your policy at any time by giving us a call. If you have paid an annual premium, you will receive a refund for the unused portion of your premium. If you pay your premium by monthly instalments, we will not provide a refund.
And if you ever want to come back? No problem! We’ll just have to create new policy for you. Know that our prices change from time to time, so your new policy may come with a different rate.
It’s super easy! You can either update your details online by hitting the ‘Login’ button at the top of our web app. Simply log in and select the policy you want to update your details for and we will guide you through the rest of the process there.

Firstly, congrats on the car! In a matter of minutes you’re able to update your old car to the new, right there from our online customer portal.

If you’re having trouble updating online – just contact our dedicated Customer Experience team team on on 1300 633 811 9am – 5.30pm (Local Sydney Time), Mon – Fri.
You’ve held your Stella policy for 12 months, where has the time gone? At renewal, there are many factors that are taken into consideration to generate your renewal invite. Factors such as your claim history from the previous period of insurance, the age and value of your vehicle, the risk rating of the area in which the car is kept and any changes you decide to make at the time of renewal.
If you would like to take a closer look at your renewal with a member of our team, feel free to contact us on 1300 633 811 9am – 5.30pm (Local Sydney Time), Mon – Fri, and they would be happy to discuss any changes with you.
Congratulations on your new baby! Before you can get back behind the wheel, we will need you to get the all clear from your doctor first. We don’t require you to send us any documentation, as long as your doctor says its safe for you to drive, then you’re good to go. At claim stage, documentation would be required such as doctor certificate if within the period of C-section, which is typically between 4-6 weeks.
Don’t stress! There’s no need to update your policy to include a learner driver. They’re automatically covered under your policy, as long as they’re supervised by a properly licensed driver.
Feeling nervous? Generally, yes, however if your son or daughter has their own car then it should be insured in their name. This also allows them to create their own insurance history and at each renewal they may be entitled to other Stella benefits and incentives.
Note: For your child to be a policyholder, they must be a registered owner of the car.
Good news is your policy covers anyone who drives your car even if you haven’t listed them on your policy. However, additional excess may apply in addition to your basic excess in the event of an incident.
Note: Anyone who drives your car more than twice per month should be listed on your policy. It’s easy to add and remove drivers as required.
Unfortunately, no, Stella does not cover Uber or any other ridesharing services where you transport people for a fee, such as through a ridesharing company’s booking app. You can reach out to the Insurance Council of Australia to find cover that’s right for you.
The more information you can get the better. At a minimum you should try and collect the following, irrespective of who’s at fault:
If possible, take photos using your phone, it will all be super helpful for your claim.
Don’t worry, our claims team are here to help and will deal with anyone involved or witness to the incident on your behalf. However, due to privacy laws, authority needs to be provided by the insured, for us to act on their behalf.
If you need urgent help such as organising a tow please refer to the regulations for your State to help you arrange a tow.

What to do following a car accident:
Our current claim lodgment process can be completed over the phone with our claims specialists or via our lodgement portal (the portal is only available to customers who were issued a policy after 24 June 2024). They are available 24/7 and can be reached by calling 1300 633 811 and selecting option 1.
To make a claim, you’ll need:
The best thing to do is contact our claims team in the event of any accident so we can anticipate contact from the third party’s insurer. We’ll handle all communication between the third party and their insurance company on your behalf.
This is the amount that you may be required to pay when you make a claim. Think of it as your contribution towards the damage or loss. When you buy a policy, you can select your preferred excess from the options given. So, why would anyone choose a higher excess? Well, the higher the excess, the lower your premium will be.
This all depends on the level of cover you have and the type of claim you make. For instance:
Note: We don’t cover other costs related to the hire car such as petrol, upgrades, tolls, traffic fines, accidents or other losses, or insurance excess reduction.
*Policy terms & conditions, limitations and exclusions apply. Please see the Product Disclosure Statement for more details.
If we determine your car is a total loss (also known as ‘written-off’*) and you were the first registered owner of your car and your car is less than 3 years old and travelled less than 60,000 kms we will replace it with a new one.
