Time to ditch RAC, which insurer (I'm not a pimpley faced kid)

[rev210]

I'm giving the RAC the arse.

I pay around $1,000 a year for my 1995 gtst, a good price but, if I can get close somewhere else I'm going!

Who is the kick arse insurer to sign with?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

rev210,

What no-claims bonus do you have? I have a 60% with Western QBE and my insurance is $600 per year.

See'ya :burnout:

[rev210]

60% mate.

$600 is very good, what is the insured value. Mine was $25k for $1000 but, its a 'work use' thingo.

If they come at insuring imports you should see if they give you a bonus for signing up new business.

[red17]

Im with western QBE also, 2 years NCB, costs me $1300 a year. Ive been told mine will drop to $950 this year too (26 tomorrow!)

QBE wont insure imports at all if its new business though, they require you to have an exsisting policy, because theyre s.hit scared you'll go elsewhere. So transfer your home and contents over to them as well.

I also qualify for 10 percent discount, being a season ticket holder at Perth Oval. Handy when your insurance bill is over a grand a year.

Damn new business!

Who else insures imports cheap?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

rev,

Mines insured for $26K. It's getting harder and harder for new people to insure the cars, even if your old. I haven't bothered looking around much, I've got a good price, just have to make sure I never have an accident.

I had my Pulsar insure with them so i phoned them up, asked about their policy on imports.... quoted and accepted the insurance on my R32 for $1300.

Put the phone down

Called back 2 minutes later: "Hi id like to cancel my policy on my Nissan pulsar" "Sure no worries"

Its worth going with them, ive spoken to panel beaters numerous times about which company is best to deal with and QBE comes out on top all the time. SGIO apparently have the biggest rep for not paying up on customers.

gts-t vspec, are you over 25?

i've had an NA car insured with wetern qbe for about 5 years (60%). i tried to get my mr2 insured and they said i had to be over 25 if i wanted insurance for the super charger.

did i speak to the wrong guy? i was half tempted to say it was NA but decided against it.

cheers

[Guest aw11]

i'm currently with famous classic. i think others here have skylines with them. but it doesn't sound cheap. they where about $80 cheaper a year than SGIO for me.

[R34]

Try HBF .

They opted out of imports for a while and are now back in.

Interested to see how they go quote wise

[GTS-t VSPEC]

aw11,

I am currently 25, but my insurance was still less than $800 even when I was under 25. It really does depend who you speak to, if you get a sympathetic person they can do all sorts of deals. The guy I spoke to loved Skylines, so I get a good deal.

I've been with RAC for over a year now, 1st year was $2200, 2nd year is down to $1400 with 20% no-claim bonus. I'm 33.

[rev210]

I'll give HBF a try again. Last time I called them was close to three years ago, they didn't insure imports. They give a discount to members for car insurance.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I will never understand the huge difference in prices, some people at 33 are paying more than I was at 23, doesn't make any sense. The insurance is what is killing the import business, young peope are paying over $3000 a year to get a car, it's just ridiculous.

See'ya:burnout:

[Beeble]

yep, i'm 25 with HBF for $1080 on 40% no claims, insured for $25K. they were the cheapest i found after calling close to 20 companies in Perth and over east. next best i think was Famous with a quote around $1600, a guy i work with recently insured (i think!) an R34 with them too. about time some of the "mainsteam" companies got back into imports

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Beeble, that is a pretty good price, hopefully with revs 60% NCB, then his would be even cheaper.

I tend to do all of my insurance through the one company as they give you discount on all your insurance if you have house, contents and car with them.

If you have a clean record and 60% NCB, try Torque .. I'm paying $831 p/a for $24,000.

[rob77]

Dave, I'll probably be going with HBF too as I'm a member and RAC have just sent me re-newal papers with the usual R32 GTR crap on it, aka not insuring imports anymore.

[int21h]

Hrmm. Well i'm 20 and finding it very difficult to find insurance. You guys have a bit better chance then what I do.

I've been with RAC for 3 years with however many % NCB that is and only. Soon as I mension Import or Skyline, i'm rejected.

However, I have an insurance guy running around looking at insurance for me. The best he came up with, was $3300 and recommended I go for it, even if I have to take a loan. I though, nah F**K that! I think he just wants whatever commission he gets!

I know you guys have talked about this previously in your other posts, but I think i've been through nearly every insurer.

Anyone got any last suggestions, even for 3RD PARTY!!
