How's this for an attitude?

[HRT 666]

In today's Sydney Daily Telegraph is a small article about a 26 year old woman who found that Allianz wanted to charge her the same green slip premium as an under 25 driver, despite her perfect driving record.

The General Manager of Allianz confirmed that 25 is not the profitability cut-off point, that 31 is, so all under 30 drivers cop the $629 premium.

The General Manager also stated that, if it wasn't for legislation, Allianz would charge $10,000 for young drivers of hotted up vehicles with bad driving records.

He also said that "under 25 drivers can complain until the cows come home - they should just shut their mouths and think themselves lucky".

How's that for an attitude towards ALL younger drivers, even those up to 30 years of age. What a mongrel - he was probably never a young driver himself.

Its simple if thats their attitude... Go else where.
If I was treated like that I would first look around find a better deal and then cancel the policy.

Then make sure the media finds out so that they can let the public know what a miserable attitude the company has towards young drivers.

I tried to get a comprehensive insurance quote with Allianz and they refuse to insure me based on the fact that I'm under 30 (I'm 29) and my engine is an L67. Even though it's bog stock standard from the factory and I have a clean driving record with 65% NCB. Even their green slips are the most expensive there is.

what a toss- he needs a reality check, hes probably one of those bitches that drive with his windows up all the time and looks at you like youve got 2 heads, i hope that allianz lose ALOT of business from now on, and i cant imagine what life would be like if he had an under 30 boy or girl- 'my dad the f***head'

Really all insurance companies are only after $$$$. I am with Nrma and have not had any real dramas with them, premiums are cheaper. Only problem was i had a ding in my magna and they took like 3weeks to tell me they weren't going to fix it as a repair had already been done in the same spot by a previous owner. It was around xmas time so i spose alot of repair shops were probably closed etc. But yeah if they knew from the start that they can't repair old repairs then why wait 3weeks to pay out?

Can you cancel an insurance Policy? They were the cheapest for me by $300

Then make sure the media finds out so that they can let the public know what a miserable attitude the company has towards young drivers.

How would you go about something like that? I don't want to **** them off too much because I am financed with them for the next 3 years.

Most policies you can cancel at any time and you'll get back what you haven't used. Just ring and ask OR read their PDS. That's what it's printed for. Insurance and finance being two different things even if with the same company.

from the Allianz guy's comments, it seems that they are probably losing money on under 25s, can't charge them extra due to some sort of legislation that i haven't heard of, and would be very happy if their under 25 drivers went to another insurance company.

it's a dangerous tactic though, as they might stay with the other insurance company of course.

what a ****tard.

On the basis of that and that alone I will NEVER insure with them.
Charge 10K then eh?, well heres an idea ********, why don't you get on TV and out that in an advertisement and see how many customers you lose?

I'm 31 now. I have a house, boat and four cars. At renewal time I remember every insurance company who has knocked me back over the years because of my age.

Funnily enough the insurance companies who have looked after me over the years are still cheaper than the supposed, "We don't insure bad risks so the good risks really save companies."

[pow3rslave]

really makes that others companys ad seem truer.
the one where the 3 old bastards are arguing about how they can charge the guy/girl more.
probably not that good an ad if i can't remember who it's for, but it seems fairly realistic if this is who's really in charge of insurance companies

i support whoever supports me, i left the insurance co i was with for 7 years/2 cars (not a single at fault claim) simply because they wouldnt cover "hsv" however they did cover me for 3 months by mistake so i politly said **** you, and went else where. i'l be rining my current insurance co soon, to make changes to the policy and im predicting im going to have to switch to shannons we'll wait and see.
