Can pensioners get CTP Green Slip discounts? 

The price of a CTP Green Slip in NSW isn’t affected by a driver’s pension eligibility. CTP legislation states that all CTP policies must be paid in full. Factors that may affect the price of your Green Slip include: 

• driving record,
• driver’s age, and
• type and age of vehicle.

Always check insurers are using accurate and up to date information when it comes to your driving record.

How to get a better price on your CTP Green Slip Insurance

Fortunately, the market for CTP Insurance, or Green Slips, was deregulated in NSW more than 30 years ago. There are six car insurers you can buy your CTP Insurance from, which means more competition and better prices.

In some states outside NSW, your CTP insurance is included as part of your car registration costs.
