Hawke Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 The difference in premiums is extreme. Im with RAC insured mine for 26k and it costs me $850 per year. Thats with 55% no-claim and an extra discount for a decent alarm system. Im also 29 which makes a difference. No way would I be paying more than 1k per year.

puckish Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 rev have you tried any brokers? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/9196-time-to-ditch-rac-which-insurer-im-not-a-pimpley-faced-kid/page/2/#findComment-141268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTS-t VSPEC Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 33Spec2, I would have though that for a non-turbo that some of the other insurance companies would give you a cheaper price, that sounds way too high.

VSPEC32 Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 You could give Silvalake Financial Services Group a call. They're an insurance broker that have insured my last two GT-R's. My first was costing about $1500-$1600 for about $45K coverage. My current one is $1080 for $26K. I am over 30 though so that helps, but have found them to be cheaper of famous by a coupla hungy on the last quote. Speak to Tammy at Silvalake and she'll take care of you: Ste 7/ 1297 Hay St Perth 6000 Tel (08) 9481 3855 Fax (08) 9481 3866 Cheers Brendan BTW, they are underwritten by SGIO.

VSPEC32 Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 You'll find that brokers have a different set of criteria than the retail area of the insurance company. And agree with the shop around theory. Don't waste your time with the bigger companies as majority (with the exception of Western QBE by the sounds of it) have a no imports policy nowadays.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Yes, if you don't currently have an existing poilicy with them then most insurance companies will just say go away. Brokers get some special rules applied to them, and they charge you for it. That's not cheap either way you look at it, I hope I never have to make a claim and loose my currently cheap policy.

33Spec2 Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 I tried a few places but being an import makes it a bit hard plus my age meant i could only find 2 or 3 companies willing 2 insure me and this was the best offer I was desperate so i took it maybe when it is up ill try and look again 4 sumthin beta!

rob77 Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Rang HBF today as I'm a private heath member and I got $780/year for a 25 year old (no accident history) with a 55% (maximum ncb with RAC) ncb. cars insured for $25k, basic excess of $200 and a $250 age excess for under being under 27. Pretty damn good if you ask me Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/9196-time-to-ditch-rac-which-insurer-im-not-a-pimpley-faced-kid/page/2/#findComment-142007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rev210 Posted January 29, 2003 Author Share Posted January 29, 2003 HBF just quoted me $696.00 for $25K, restricted driver and $832 for unrestricted anyone can have a go. Wonder how much they will charge for the Dodge Viper RT10 I was looking at?

rob77 Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 we are also HBF heath members, so its a little cheaper. Dave's is more than likely cheaper as he's older than me. just call them up on their std line and follow the prompts to car insurance... I'd do it soon I heard a rumor they are going to review pricing.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Well it looks like HBF are giving out pretty good prices, so everyone should review there current policy, might save a few hundred a year. I hope that with the new RAW's legisaltion coming into place and the ISO accreditation system that the insurance companies will be more inclined to provide cheaper coverage.

Mr Squiggle Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 HAWKE, THat was a good point about the alarm, well an approved alarm in any case. I insured mine r33 with RAC, i'm 26 and they originally quoted me $950.00, i went and got an alarm installed and rac reduced it to $810.00 a yr. I was stoked. GIO didn't want to know me... Rhys...

int21h Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 I have decided that if you are under 21, own an import and turbo car, live in Western Aus, you have absolutely no chance of finding insurance. If you do, it is over $3300!!!!!!!!
