Drive is low-cost car insurance

We partnered with Vero to create Drive after research uncovered that insurance can be unaffordable or unsuitable for people with low incomes.  

A car is more than just a mode of transport. It can help someone keep their job, live in affordable housing, stay connected with family or access health services. Owning a car is expensive, and many Good Shepherd clients aren’t able to save for emergencies or surprises, or afford traditional insurance. Without insurance, car damage can upend life and cause unmanageable money challenges.

Drive insurance is informed by the needs of Good Shepherd clients and designed specifically to support them. 

Peace of mind for people with limited incomes

Drive insurance is available to anyone buying a car for $5,000 or less with a Good Shepherd loan.

Drive features include:

• Comprehensive insurance — it covers the owner’s car, not just the third-party.
• Cover for multiple drivers — any driver of the insured car is covered if they have a restricted or full New Zealand drivers licence and are driving in line with its conditions. 
• Well priced, affordable at $8 per week.
• Simple application form and policy wording.
• Easy to get, easy to claim.
• Weekly repayments.
• No excess on the first claim.

If you’re looking for a car loan, enquire now and let us know you are interested in insurance.
