Low emissions vehicles

As a vehicle gets older, it will not operate at the same energy-efficient level. The discount is reduced by 5% each year to reflect the vehicle’s changing energy-efficiency level. Once your vehicle reaches its fifth year based on year of manufacture, it is no longer eligible.

Yes, provided the vehicle is less than five years old and recognised by the RAC as having lower emissions.

Anyone is eligible, whether they’re an RAC member or non-member, as long as the vehicle is recognised by the RAC as having lower emissions.

Gas and electric vehicles will only be eligible if they were manufactured that way, not converted. They must have a valid combined CO₂ emissions output under the testing carried out according to the Australian Design Rules.

For policies that pre-date the launch date of 25 July 2012, there are no rebates. However a discount can be applied on renewal.

The criteria is based on data provided by Glass’s Information Services, and by considering the CO₂ emission output as determined by testing carried out according to the Australian Design Rules.
