New ride, now time to insure.

There's lots of factors that determine insurance premiums eg. age, postcode, history and many others. We don't know all these details so it's hard to say if what you've been quoted is fair or not. Your best bet is to ring around heaps of insurers and get their prices.

 

well our family are with racv and we get discounts for every car we have on our policy so give them a try

 

Just Car are worth a try. AAMI are usually the cheaper of the large insurance companies though so GL

 

Almost describes me But I pay $600/year Fully Comp. for my VY SII SuperCharged Calais through Suncorp. Your quote seems a little high to me - but I imagine it varies between states? As with all things, don't sign anything till you have at least 3 quotes - and always ask "is there anything I can do to bring the price down?" - ie, fit alarm, garage every night, move suburbs, a reference from local cop shop ? When I first got insurance - 20yrs ago - I got a letter from my boss saying I had driven company cars without incident for 5 yrs - this saved me 60% off the original quote....

good luck

 

Why not try Shannons??? Your age and record will be a bonus and they look after their customers extremely well, as I found out last month - unfortunately.

cheers

 

I've found calling insurance companies to be better, with my commodore i got 2 quotes through AAMI best online after 3 tries was $1500 and 1st try on the phone was $1100, went with that then somehow got refunded $220.

 

if your over 25 cant beat shannons

 

Yep 3 for shannons, they understand a bit about cars and allow you to hav mods. Bob.

 

I just bought a VY commodore. It's only an exec with 20's and lowered with SS bodykit. Real insurance were the best by far even with the mods. They even insured my 22 year GF on the policy and only cost me around $600 a year. I think shannons over charge because of they a specialty insurer. If you can get your performance car insured elsewhere with any mods I would just go to a normal insurer.

 

thats more then what i pay.. im with Just Cars Insurnce. $2200.00 a year. goes down every year till your a rateing 1. Im currently rateing 3

i drive a highly modded VY SS ute. 372HP at the wheels. im 20years old. live in QLD. superchargering her next month and only pay an extra $35 a year for the supercharger.

i rang everyone and they all turned me down when i told them age and mods... HAHA Just car is the only crowd that would insure me.

 

I got quoted for $1100 for my car through Just Cars but $600 for the same cover from real... But some people with highly nodded cars don't have that choice

 

And as I said earlier, they do look after you and will insure almost any mod you make to the car.

Well done.

 

I got quoted $2700 and payed it first year i insured my SS. 21, male, no claims, no tickets. Paying $2000 a year now, sounds like you live in a rough area with lots of thefts...oh, you live in Darwin. Explains everyhthing i guess

 

Wow sounds like I'm getting a good deal. I'm 22 Full insurance with window replacement and the other little add-ons like free rental if my car is in a crash blah blah blah. $1012 a year with $500 excess.
That's through NRMA.
