I used Dawes and they were easy enough to deal with when it came time to claim.

NRMA do my full comprehensive on my 32 for $85 a month with a $300 excess or $38 a month for $600 excess.

29, M, no accidents (apart from my birth), 11 years driving history, rating 1.

Hope that helps.

LOL you beat me to it!!

I use just cars - Because I am under 25.

But next year, when I hit that magic insurance number, I'll be moving to Suncorp. I know a few people over 25 with full comp and paying under $700 with 2 door skylines.

When I was 22 I got a quote for $5600/year for full comp. Although I have a fairly colourful traffic history

I was given a flat out "no imports" with Suncorp. How'd they get them through?

Just look on their website they do do grey imports. Get a quote then call them. OP there is a thread in the 2 general forums up the top of forum.

If you can get a quote on tge site they will set you up on call. Every insurer opens and closes certain risks from time to time.

so far i've been getting rates around $1000 for full coverage, and $350 for third party, firs, and theft. and those rates are damn good in relation to what i am used to back home.

If you want to talk about busting out lube, then go live in ontario canada for a while. if you're under 25 you'll be paying around $2000 minimum for the most basic coverage on any old regular 4 cyl 4 door crappy little beater. but once you turn 25 rates would drop to around $1k for full coverage.

i went through nrma. im allmost 23 $1100 a year full comp on my 98 34 gtt.

so far nrma is around 1100, $8100 insured value

just car is the same price but $12,000 insured value. just car can also be brought down to $750, if i raise the excess to $1200.

so i think i'll be going with just car... just now have to decide on how much of a risk there is that i'll crash

thanks for the help everyone.

Just car is a right of passage for under 25s with turbos. Happy driving.

^^ Very true

Not sure to be honest, it is just a quick mention in conversation. I know SonnyQ uses Suncorp with his 34 GTT. I think his is the high $600's for full comp. The guy I purchased my 34 from used Suncorp and was around $700 he said.

I'm with shannons and having a lot of problems with my theft claim I would steady clear of them, just cars and anybody suncorp underwrite...

[-Boz-]

Suncorp own (not a complete list either):

Just Car

Shannons

AAMI

Insure My Ride

I know there are others as well. If you want to minimize hassles with theft claim ensure you have an Aus standards imobiliser fitted, apparently some of the company's have no hassle taking your money and refusing to pay out if there is no immobiliser fitted.

[MSTRshenanigans]

No immobiliser no excuse.

[lilcrash]

I'm with Shannon's, im 24 with a horrible driving history (2 crashes and 4 license suspensions) never had any issues with claims.
