Bloody Insurance Companies

[blind_elk]

My Skyline comes off it's novated lease soon, so I'm looking for insurance (currently 'owned' by my employer).

Contacted RACV (can get 'sister company' staff discount). All was going swimmingly, until they asked about mods. So I was up front, it has 17" rims - RACV says "don't care about diameter, how wide?" 7.5 . "Oh dear, can't be wider than 6.5 " (based on Silhouette, which it isn't). How bloody stupid - wider wheel means it has better rubber which holds the road better which reduces the risk of crashing, and they say it's not acceptable.

Bloody insurance companies :blast:

just-car... unlimited mods...

I had similar problems with RACV. I was a member with them (and their insurance) for about 5 years, no at-fault claims.

They *would* after some prompting insure my R33 (although first chick said no), but only if it was basically stock as a rock. Mine wasn't, so had to go elsewhere. Loyalty and previous perfect history doesn't mean rubbish to them. Its all a load of bollocks

just car "unlimited mods", also "unlimited costs". they charge for every single extra mod.. there are plenty out there that do not.

Actually from memory JustCars charge extra per mod for the first 4 or 5 mods, then after that the price doesn't increase...and you get an unlimited number of accessories.

No, I don't work for them; they were the only insurance company who didn't give a damn if I parked on the street overnight or not...

well, just car's have my car as only having a cheap stereo... i did an online quote with:

* exhaust mods

* air filter mods

* tinting

* BOV

* $1500 stereo

* security system (with alarm, keyless entry etc)

and maybee a few other things ang there was a whopping $4 difference, so i think i can live with that....

Tried Just Cars.

$951 premium ($10k agreed value, which is only the cost of the car, not the value), $1150 XS (which I don't plan to call on, haven't for over 20 years), and $1850 !!! theft XS.

Torque would do it for $992

Waiting on Shannons to get back to me.

Still looking.
