My wallet just jumped out my pocket and ran away..

When I was 19, I used the RAC it insure my first V8. Although already had a couple of cars insured with them. Never had any issues with modifications with the RAC either. The more extensive ones have required an engineers report and them inspect the car, but everything is listed on my policy (stroker engine, dog box, brakes, suspension etc). I have had to make a couple of claims through the RAC over the years, but never had issues there, always sorted quickly.

HBF wouldn't insure me until I was 21 and I think it was AAMI said I had to be 25.

That's a decent price.

Well when I first signed up to JustCar it was something like 1600 a year premium (all mods covered) with a 1500 exess or something. You could lower the premium by putting up the excess and I could get it to 1000 a year with a 3 grand excess.

Im currently on about 800 a year with a 2 grand excess at 23.


I'm driving a V6 and mines $1700 p/y on $2500 excess. I suppose alot more p platers have killed themselves since you were one though

NRMA mate. They aren't too bad, I pay $150/month for a vy ss 6sp at agreed value of $19k. And strangly enough I got a quote for a ve hsv gts as i am thinking of upgrading and it was within $5 of my current policy with an agreed value of $45k. I think they base it on driver risk and simply categorize the vehicle. I am 24 with no history.

$1500 is cheap for under 25 years old with a v8.

Im 26 now but never owned a v8, I had 1000cc sports bikes instead.
You think u get raped with a v8 just go get a bike n grab an extra bottle of lube :(

Id just suggest going with justcar, they pretty much will insure anybody so long as you are prepared to pay for it, otherwise as said previously throw it up under your folks name with you listed as the main driver, id suggest sgio or qbe for that option, otherwise they wont touch you.
