i reckon with these insurers, if u give them competition to deal with, they'll match the offer at least. Like im currently with just cars for my r33 gtst and i only have 3rd party which costs 600 dollars. I rang ryno and they offered 1600 for full comp. I rang justcars and they said that they could do full comp for me for 1700 but only for an agreed value of $8000, cos thats what i told them i bought it for :P So i told them that i wanted to cancel my 3rd party because if i was going to get comprehsnive cover, i wanted to cover it for at least market value. So they got back to me and said they could do full comp for an agreed value of $15000 at the same premium of $1700. Even though ryno is still cheaper id rather stay with just cars purely based on reputation.

..so what's your point from this?

Shannons act as an agent for Australian Alliance Insurance (but are wholly owned by them), it is often the way the insurance world works. No trouble at all, nothing wrong with legal agreements!

ETA: Prior to being bought out Shannons acted in the same way the 'smaller' ones do. It is common and nothing to worry about.

GT-R32 - well,

its very similar mate!

windscreen, usage policies, ncb etc etc - very similar to shannons!

Oh yes, shop around, but Im happy where I am :cheers:

Yep, very similar I agree. Certainly a case of much of a muchness. Definitely simply a case of shop around, but don't be nervous if you haven't heard of them from TV or 'everyone' being insured through them is my point. :D

Seems stupidly cheep! I am actually a bit worried! I mean Shannons was $1750 and I thought that was cheap!

Would love to know if anyone has claimed with them.

I called them for a quote, left my phone number and was told i would get a call back later that afternoon..

It has been days since then and still no call. Had that experience with Famous Classic a couple of times too, and i have a policy with them. Guess you cant expect too much from smaller companies!

  • 5 weeks later...

Ok, just received my Just car renawal notice:

They want:

$902 - agreed value $23800 - excess $400

Got a quote from Ryno few weeks ago:

$976 - agreed value $37000 - excess $500

I'm about to go pay a visit to Ryno coz they're at Coopers Plains, just 15 mins from where I live to see if they can tweak their premium a bit. Ryno allows you to pay by the month at no extra cost has won me. Everything else seems similar to Just cars including mods etc...

Which would you choose if you were me?

I had an awesome quote back from ryno but I'm just not 100% convinced yet. You know about the old saying...... "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is !!"

I've been screwed over by quite a few companies lately and am very hesitant to jump into anything now days. The problem is, if a company does take your money and then defaults on their agreement, most people don't have the $'s to fight the company in court. I'm not saying that Ryno fits in this category but I'd like to see if they're around in another year's time and if they have lots of happy clients. :huh:

I rang them for a quote... to be honest, I am a bit nervous as they are pretty small... not very well known and what's more are based in only 1 state - QLD...so yeah... did some research....and found that these guys are actually only the broker that deals with Caliden Underwriting NOT and insurance company in their own right... in other words, these guys refer business to Caliden and acts on behalf of the client...

All insurance companies have brokers. JustCars is a broker... it gives you no real significant advantage to have them owned by the actual insurance company apart from the name. Legally they're seperate entities anyway so if Just Cars goes bust it's the same as Ryno going bust - their underwriting insurance company ain't necessarily comin to the rescue.

Very true. I have now swapped ALL of my car policies (3 at the moment) to Ryno. They are very very cheap!

Did you get a further discount with Ryno for having more then one car with them?

Do they insure NORMAL cars like civics (non modified)?

I think they do normal cars as long as you have something else with them? Or even demonstrate you are a car person even? Dunno, give them a call I would say.

Same, must be busy!

i applied for an online quote and got declined... received this in my email.... "Unfortunately on this occasion we are unable to offer you a quotation as the details you have submitted do not meet our mimimum underwiting guidelines." is there a minimum requirement thing?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
