Rising premiums are pushing more people into considering third party car insurance

The average quote for comprehensive car insurance on comparison website Quashed, has increased 41-percent in the past two years.

Quashed Chief Executive Justin Lim says their users are weighing up a broader range of options.

He says they haven't seen a big switch to third party yet, but interest in third party polices has increased 46-percent in the past year.

Lim says consumers have been learning how to adapt, in the face of quite significant increases to premiums.
