Best Alarm + Insurance Company For Gtrs? (sa)

[ArenaGTR]

Hmm, was thinkin of getting Viper alarm 5900 + Just Cars Insurnace for my GTR?! Dunno if they are any good, got a quote of 2500AUD from just cars, but alarm wise I am not sure, is there any other better alarm system than viper? if so, where can I get them from?? Too many skylines got stolen lately, kinda scared!

Speak to your insurance company with regards to their car alarm requirements.

Some require the car alarm to meet certain standards and specifications.

But off the top of my head.. Unsure whats good or not. I believe something that's not common or cheap.

Speak to Just Cars. There's absolutely no point getting a car alarm, get insurance, car gets stolen, recovered then the insurance company voids your policy as the car alarm didn't meet 'their' requirements. Simply not worth the risk for saving a few $$.

I do know they require a so called black wire 3 point immobiliser, the alarm must also lock the doors and arm its self.

I've disabled the lock its self feature as I had it lock my keys in the car.

As for the viper.. I have no idea, I run something a little different.

As above.. Famous Classic Car Insurance; in the past I've found to be tops.

i work for one of the insurance companies that covers this market. i cant say who sorry, but please do look at the small print in any pds that u get from a company when they qte you. there are a few companies who will act illegally and get away with it as people just accept the word of the company come claim time. for reference, if its not written as an exclusion then you are covered. if you are told "yeah but its only covered if...." you are being fed BS. duty of disclosure goes both ways too. if u say whaalarm u have at quote time and they accept tha, they arent allowed to go back on their word from that point on until the next renewal is due. just some food for thought for you guys. but as has been said in other threads, do tell everything to the company. fines,crashes(even if u didnt make a claim or the 3rd party didnt use their cover), where its kept at night, mods especially.

cheers.

Johnny there is an entire section in this forum dedicated to car audio and security. Do a search in there and you will find heaps of information about what alarms are considered the best, which are shite and which ones meet Australian insurance standards. You could always PM specific questions to Chris Rogers (who provides valuable alarm related information to people on this forum) for anything you can't find in the threads. Alternatively go speak with some installers here like George at Adelaide Pro Sound.

As for insurance it's a matter of ringing around as everyones circumstances are different regarding age, accident/speeding history, location where car will be kept, how many km per year you'll do in it etc. I'm with Shannons and find them brilliant to deal with both before and after making a claim. Has your car arrived from Japan yet? You still have time to do some research.

Just Cars suck ass.........

Shannons FTW!!

try H2P...........im with them.....great customer service, and i can call up and find out whether the next mod im gonna do is able to be covered or not.........i like them

[Madaz]

there not exactly cheap though ^^

[MissR34]

there arent too bad, i mean im paying 123 a month right now for full comprehensive insurance, and to be honest i think there was like a 400 difference between h2p and just cars when i was getting quotes last year before i got the car, the only reason i went with h2p is cause they offered pay by the month, something just cars doesnt offer

[Madaz]

yeah thats why i went with famous good with mods and only HAD to be good alarm installed to which theve changed, and pay by the month my first year with famous (2nd year of car ownership) they insured me for 21g now its dropped to 16g i think my first year with just cars they insured me for 16g and said 14g the next year now with famous its 16g with mods

[Madaz]
