RTA Demerit Points Check & Special Terms & Conditions

Greenslips prices are determined on a range of criteria. Some greenslip insurers offer cheaper greenslips to drivers with good driving history. If you have a 'clean' NSW drivers licence (ie with zero demerit points), you may be eligible for a 'zero demerit premium'.

If you have already obtained a quote from our greenslips quote calculator and confirmed that you have not lost any demerit points on your NSW Drivers Licence, you will be requested to enter your licence details towards your purchase of greenslip. This information will be transmitted through the greenslip insurers system to the RTA who will verify that your demerit point status entitles you to the zero demerit premium.

If the RTA records do not correspond to the information provided, a greenslip Insurers standard premium will be applied - at this point we will contact you for a standard price payment.

If you think the verification of your demerit point's status by the RTA on a greenslip insurer's system is incorrect, you can check your exact demerit point status at: www.rta.nsw.gov.au/myrta/myrecords

Special Terms & Conditions - RTA Demerit Points Check

If the registered owner of the vehicle has a current NSW driver's licence, a greenslip Insurer may prompt us to request your permission to disclose your drivers license details to the RTA. This is done to verify your zero demerit status. If you want to obtain the zero demerit related greenslip premium, you will need to give a mandatory permission to an authorisation statement that may look or mean like the following:

"I authorise the Roads and Traffic Authority to disclose to the relevant greenslip insurer my demerit point information for the sole purpose of the greenslip insurer determining the premium it should charge me. I understand that this will be done via a Yes or No confirmation and that the greenslip insurer will store this confirmation.

You may also receive a greenslip insurer's message from us if a greenslip insurer's system changes/rejects your quote as a result of mismatch between the information you provided us and the information stored in the RTA system. The messages may look or mean like the following:

Premium has changed

Your greenslip premium has changed because you indicated that you do not have a current NSW drivers licence. We are unable to give a zero demerit premium to drivers who have licences from other jurisdictions/states.

OR

Premium has changed

Your greenslip premium has changed because the demerit point information disclosed by the RTA does not agree with the information that was entered on the Quote.

If you feel that the demerit point information received from the NSW RTA is incorrect, you can check your exact demerit point status at: www.rta.nsw.gov.au/myrta/myrecords
