Im 26.

but renewed my insurance a couple weeks b4 I turned 26.

Justcars.

100 a month. rating one.

Tried doing an online quote with shannons. They dont even have skylines listed ?

you would have to call up shannons mate

thats the only way you would be able to get a decent quote out of them

Im 18, 19 in a couple months.

Have made 1 previous insurance claim when I was 16, and 1 driving offence (no P Plates).

Full comp insurance on a R32 GTR with agreed value of 24k, can choose whatever repairer I want, one quote needed,

$3300 p/year and $900 for a claim. I paid the first year of insurance outright but yeah.

Thats with Shannons, JustCar wanted $3500 + $2500 to make a claim. I laughed at them and hung up.

All in all fairly happy with shannons considering my situation

interesting differences considering just cars / shannons both go through AAMI

just got my ER34 today... cover $22K costing $1K / year full comp with shannons with some mods and one speeding fine over last year this is not my daily driver so works out cheaper that way

well I just got off the phone with Shannons and turned a possible negative post into a positive one.

I had both the bike and the GTR insured with them for a certain value and the policy has just come up for renewal with a slight increase in premium over last year for both vehicles...(typical).

I rang them to remove the GTR from the policy (due to selling it last week) and they said "fine, we'll send you out an amended policy"......problem is, they slugged me another $80 on top of the increased premium purely because it's gone back to a one vehicle policy.

Now I had the bike insured with them at a discounted rate before I added the GTR in 2007, yet when I added the GTR, I didn't receive a further discount because the bike's premium was already discounted, so in effect now they've gone ahead and taken the initial discount away by increasing the bike's premium twice in the last 12 mths....Not happy Jan :D .

However, after explaining the situation to one of the consultant's team leaders, they removed the extra $80 and wished me all the best, so in my books they are still OK.........how many other insurance companies can you negotiate with other than when they've made a mistake or when first establishing a new policy? :D

  • 2 weeks later...

Shannons may be better on service and possibly excess, but they told me that they can't even beat Just Car's premium. To each his own i guess.

After quite a bit of research, i think this thread needs a template. There are alot of factors that can alter a premium, not just age and aspiration, eg.

Age:

Suburb and postcode:

Years driving:

Claim history:

Rating:

Make and Model:

N/A or Turbo:

Total Value of mods listed:

How is car stored (street, lock up garage, carport etc.)

Premium:

Excess:

Also, if your not the number 1 driver on the policy, don't bother contributing.

Yeah famous has been good better than just cars

you also need to add the that template location (which in todays day and age isn't wise)

location and if the car is garaged plays a big part in how much you pay

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
