Its that time of the year again to renew my car insurance, i got my renew letter from JustCar and was quoted $1595 for full comp which is no difference to last years,

i was thinking of switching over to young and cool insurance, is anyone with them? or know people who has dealt with them before? they seem like a really small company and i had a look on their website, one section that put me off is the fact that if you ever need to do a claim you have to mail the claim form to them, you cant do it over the phone or on the net.

Is there any other companies i can try?

I noticed on shannons you have to be over 25 to insure with them, since when i try to do an online quote and as soon as i put my age in it tells me they cannot insure me.

Im 24 btw

cheers

thats an expensive quote from just car ? :D

im 22 and have full comp with just car for $1100 a year and im driving a '96 s2 gts-t with quite a few mods (which i declared to Just Car and they are all covered...)

although i do have the benefit of getting automatic rating 1 since ive been driving for over 5 years and havent had an accident.. still, i'd be calling them and asking if they cant do a better deal for you..

Both Shannons & Just Car have the same underwriter for their policies hence Shannons will never be cheaper than Just Car, the only difference is that Shannons can do an agreed value. However "Agreed value" is a bit of a mis-nomer with Shannons, I just phoned them to try and insure my R32 GTST for $25K and they said all they can do is a max. of $18K on an R32.

Just Cars quote for my first GTS25T was over 2k and Shannons did it for 900 with the exact same info. I'm not sure how that works and not saying you arew wrong, just relaying my experiences with the two.

I'd say speak with them both and see how you go.

Woa, that's a bit much! I'll happily get a scan of my policy when I'm home tonight if you need proof. From what I've heard with my mates trying to go through Shannons, you get shafted if you're young. Seriously though, 3k is a joke!

Gotta make sure u set the date as any date, because default on the search form is last 30 days

Ne wa, i just got my insurance renewal and i'm very happy, it dropped from 1900-1450, on account of me now being a rating 3. DO you have a bad driving record?

Edit: im also with justcar

good point braadz, why dont you click on other threads and post replies then and instead of doing similar?

seriously, how hard is it to use search function and type "insurance"

or jsut call other insurers.

people always say "im paying this, why cant i pay what he is paying"

thats why i replied - cause its you lot who have no idea - well, minority anyway.

i just got a quote from famous insurance for $1360 with $1500 excess which sounds pretty good,

but im not sure how easy they are to deal with when you need to do a claim, anyone got any experiences dealing with famous?

pfft. Insurance is based on risk; Shannon's won't insure a business-registered car and JC love it.

IME for the same vehicle but for private registration Shannon's has always been cheaper and they have

always been willing to insure for more (replacement-value, anyone?:)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
