awhiteone Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Gday, Just bought my first Skyline - R33 GTSt. Been getting insurance and NRMA QLD have a campaign where they beat ANY other quote by 10%. Just saved myself 10% off the cheapest I could find - Just Car. Excess is a little higher but they did agreed value and matched up all else, bargain. Just though i'd share.

astrotristan Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 if something happens are they going to turn their back and be all "oh i didnt realise you had aftermarket _____ _______ ______ _______, your insurance is void" Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/337814-nrma-qld-beating-any-other-quote-by-10-just-now/#findComment-5461467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isola Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 if something happens are they going to turn their back and be all"oh i didnt realise you had aftermarket _____ _______ ______ _______, your insurance is void" exactly! Or "Skylines are imported now?!" They're completely useless at anything apart from taking money from people. This is a great example of why you really need to check that fine print.

awhiteone Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 My excess was only $400 with justcar $600 with NRMA, would still prefer the difference in my pocket if I don't claim. I listed the mods it has (exhaust, rims) and it got added into the agreed value - same as justcar. I'll call and dbl check everything tomorrow now though. I've been with them for various cars but all non-imported/ std cars, are they really that much of a shocker to deal with that nobody on here insures with them?

.:: GimpS-R34 ::. Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 wan't there something on the TV this year about their customers being ripped off by shonky repair jobs.. And a whole lot of customers confronted a PR chick about it and she had to stand there and cop it.. Just Car & Shannons are designed for Enthusiasts & Imports.. Sure they charge a premium but they aren't going to turn around and leave you high and dry in most cases (unless there was something seriously wrong) as bad mouthing from the customers would see the business sent elsewhere.. So I would rather pay the higher price and know that if I have an accident then I will have little worry about getting it fixed, rather than paying less then having an accident and then a battle ensues regarding the payout/repairs..

Rhinorebel Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I think once NRMA are made aware that your Skyline is an import, they will back out of the deal. Or they will keep your money and say that you didn't disclose the true nature of your vehicle and they do not have to refund your premium...

awhiteone Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 Just confirmed - they know it's an import, all mods covered as long as they are within rego compliance. I'd say it's a v different story with more highly modded vehicles but for mine (as it is now) it's cheaper and does the job. I've been with them before and they paid out when my car got keyed years ago no probs, choice of repairer... unless QLD version is run totally differently then it should be right. I'll still review other insurers in a few months as things change and it might get cheaper, or if I get more questionable mods then yeah.

Doze Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 wan't there something on the TV this year about their customers being ripped off by shonky repair jobs.. They have done numerous things over time that come back and bite them... all their customers then come ringing on my phone to annoy me..Or they will keep your money and say that you didn't disclose the true nature of your vehicle and they do not have to refund your premium... Fight for everything you can get for refunds.... they can't keep it if it's something that they shouldn't have covered in the 1st place, there's always a way to get a refund if it's legit... unless we're just nicer at Allianz...

MSTRshenanigans Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Incorrect. NRMA do insure grey imports but at almost triple the price of any other insurer.

whitneybra Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I was with NRMA with my first turbo car a vl turbo and when the worst happened. I crashed the nrma inspector went and looked at the car and said because i had a frontmount intercooler they wouldnt pay to the repairer so after weekes of waiting i went to see how my car was going and nothing had happened. Then the repairer informed me of the hold up i rung NRMA to find them trying to back out of repairing it even when i had the paperwork at home with intercooler listed in the mods. In the end they fixed it but took more then 2 months to get repaired. SO In the end they might be cheaper but you will get f**ked round by them. But Just Cars was great after a tool ran into the back of my 34 and wouldnt answer his phone or call me back. They gave the green ligh to the repairer and even with a month wait for parts was fixed faster.

RandomHero83 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I was with NRMA when I brought my R-33 GTS-t I had it 8 months till some dirty bastard in an XF wagon rear ended me at a set of lights, I paid $7500 for my 33 and NRMA put $10,000 in my hand 3 days after the crash ( bent passenger chassis rail ) as that was current market value and I had it modded with the usual bits of kit Front mount, exhaust, etc NRMA are not too bad but make sure your getting the best coverage you can for your ride. I am with Just Car for my R-32 as NRMA wanted to cover it for 5k instead of the 10.8k JC will cover it for.
