Need Insurance? Want Cheaper Insurance?

[Mildman]

I rang Famous and Response for insurance of a R32 GTSt last week. Response quoted me $1040 with $750 excess (that's it, no more excess for body kits claims OR theft). Famous agreed to match the $1040 quote of Response, but could not match the excess. The best they could do was $1000 basic + $1000 for theft. (I'm >28 w/ rating 1).

So I am changing from the evil just cars to Response in the next few weeks.

[Mildman]

I'm not sure if all you guys are quoting policies with an 8000 km/yr limit, but the Response quote $1040 +$750 excess was unlimited ks.

Don't know if that interested anyone, but I know I do well over 8000 km/yr in my mobile.

Tha tis a very good quote for unlimited kays.

I attempted to dial their number but was unable to connect..

Quote: 'This number is temporarily disconnected'

However do they have pay by the month?

[two40]

yes they do joel

[Cubes]

oh.. really... Might have to give them another try tomorrow...

[Mildman]

I still haven't found any better options. I think Response is the way too go (if you are over 25), as I think under 25 Famous will give you a better deal.

A friend of mine just landed a Supra and he found Famous to be cheaper for him (as he is 24), where as me at >28 found Response to have the best prices.

Rang Torque and they definitely dont insure S15's....

[Zahos]

Yey Mildman, where is Response and what are their contact details?

Do they have a website?

[mxfly]

Unique doesnt insure S15's either...only pre 1980's cars

[mxfly]

Response no. is 03 9873 8999, they changed their no. recently.

Strange....

I called and they gave me a quote for my car.... About $1400 if I remeber correctly....

[mxfly]

I'll give them a call again, $1400 is cheap, is that stock or modified?

[mzgtst]

famous classic gave me a price of $2800, for a r33 gts no mods but im 20.

does response ins under 25?

[Zahos]

mildly modified.... (bolt on crap)

But unique may have offered insurance b/c it is an import. You might be denied b/c it is an aus delivered model...

[mxfly]

Zahos,

You're right, my car is locally delivered,

mzgtst,

Not sure whether Response insure under 25's. Give them a buzz.

Anyway, I just called Famous and got a quote for $1600 for mildly modified 200SX, leased, over 30 yo, 1 speeding fine in 5 yrs, low risk PO, secure night parking and driving less than 10km's annually. I recently took out a policy with Budget Direct for $1530 but have since cancelled it due to the fact they dont endorse any kinds of mods. I think Famous is the way to go for me.

turbo or non turbo? im turning 20 and paying $2500 for a non turbo R33 no mods

[Mildman]

A friend of mine under 25 said Response wouldn't touch him. (That's gotta suck) - So I don't think they insure under 25's - sorry guys

[Cubes]

What was his rating and what sort of car etc.?

[Mildman]

Supra - non turb, rating one, 24.5 yrs old....so just misses out
