I heard NAC piss people round a bit when it comes time for them to pay out etc..

Crikey! National Auto Club quoted me $2700!!
The whole insurance thing really piddles me off eh... there doesn't seem to be any consistency between companies, or within companies for different people.

I'm paying about $1100 with Tower (I'm 26 with no driving convictions) and that's the best I found by several hundred bucks.
The dude I spoke to at Tower said there'd been a hike in insurance premiums across the board in the last 6 months... presumably to do with global terrorism etc...

Get a decent insurance broker - they should be able to find you a good deal. I'm paying $870 (or something like that) for full cover, under 25, full no-claims bonus. And that should drop when I turn 25 later this month.

I just remembered, we tried to get insurance for the other half but they said he would be a couple a grand, or 2 and a half a year. We decided to give that one a miss! Under 25, and all the rest.

I'm with State Insurance, drive a modded 1998 VR-4 Manual.

I've had my full license for 8 years, but I've lost my license twice for speeding.

I'm paying $500 a year ($40 a month or something like that) for full cover, under 25, full no-claims bonus.

I'm with Norwich I'm insured for $17,000, full cover. I pay $16.03 a fortnight, which works out to be $416.78 a year. But I am a female, fill no claims bonus, over 25 years, but on restricted and I have everything else with them (package deal).

Hope this helps Scott!

Pescha!

just out of intrest, why are you trying to get insurance with NAC, they are the most expensive and have rediculous excess'. Is your can modded apart from your mags ?

[AllBeItMine]

i go through state. costs me about 700 a year with a 500 excess and a 2000 theft excess. the vr is insurred for 18k.

i've had one claim already and they were fine.

[ShadyNZer]

^^ under 25 and on restricted??

[jaimz]

Jeez, I can't believe the double standards of these insurance companies!

Dreamer - $500 for full insurance under 25..? Both my wife and I are over 26 and we pay more than twice that!

I gotta get to the bottom of this - I did a ring around a month ago and it seemed then that I was getting a good deal! :inquisiti

Nothing against those of you who have gotten a good deal of course... good on you for finding one. :thumbsup:

Jaimz, for the past 7-8 years, I've had atleast 2 cars concurrently insured with State. (at one stage I had 5 cars). State originally quoted me $3,500 a year /help for Full Insurance, because of my age, and my license history. So I asked to speak to the manager, and told her how much $$ in total I had spent on Insurance with State, the fact I've NEVER (touch wood) had an accident when I was at fault, and She (The Manager) quickly lowered the Premium to $2,500, but I was persistant - trying my luck, and got her down to $500 a year. /pan

:smug:

What have you got to loose? I wasn't being rude, just stating (excuse the pun) the facts.

[jaimz]

Wow good on you.
You're right though - until now I haven't tried to push much past the initial quote. Unfortunately I did have one minor prang about 3 years ago which was my fault, so I may not be in such a good bargaining position... :embarasse

I think an insurance broker might be a good way for me to go, either that or I'll pay a visit to Tower with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch... /yes

Thanks Dreamer.
