Car Insurance Renewal In Victoria....

[gtsttrk]

Hey champ, is this with Shannon's or JC?

[R31Nismoid]

I'm with LSV too

[Count Grantleyish]

So, apparently every insurers decide to jack up on the price this year.

Awaiting for an email from LSV regarding a quote after I'd contacted them last evening.

If it's still a complete joke, time to consider buying something else which I'd struggle to get myself to viewing/test-drive/researching/etc...

I just changed over to Shannons last week from Just Car.

Now $1720

Agreed Value $40,000

All Mods listed.

Rating 1

Age: 37

Just Car wanted 1850 with agreed value of only $30,000

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

yeh... being 30+ and rating 1 is the secret

f**k... it's gotta be good for SOMETHING

[Count Grantleyish]

*sighs* only 5 years away...

Also something to ad about Shannons....

I've also got house and contents with em, and i've had to make a claim when some low life muppet scum stole my mountain bike from my garage. They were nothing but AWESOME, and i got paid out current market value of my mountain bike (minus excess of $200).

Dealing with Shannons is very easy!

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

yup... 100%

customer service is second to NONE

anyone who has made a claim through shannons will never go elsewhere

Check out my thread which I posted about 2 months ago. The bastards at Just Car put mine up $1400 and I've made NO CLAIMS!! When I called to lose my sh!t at them they told me it was becuase of the floods in QLD and the hail in VIC.......thieves. Lumleys and Shannons are MUCH better if you can convince them to cover you. Better on price, much much better on service. Just car is aimed at younger guys who drive imports with no other insurance options to turn to, so they exploit this fact and charge ridiculous amounts for their cover.

Im under 30 and had the same deal with Shannons...

Also had 2 fines listed and a word doco of mods

[llama_au]

I got another quote for the BRZ - and it's gone up, $1550. I'll be shopping around once the time comes, although I like being with Shannons I cannot justify that much money for full comp at my age and Rating 1 for life.

[milanr34]

i've called racv out of curiosity. 26yr old male no prev accident history etc etc....they have no "market value" for the r34 gtt so on an agreed value of $16.5k it came to be just under $1,200 a year.....which isn't bad really.

Called up justcar they wanted $2.8k.....go figure, ill probably go with racv

[MrWindsurf]

So glad I saw this thread, I've just started shopping around for insurance because Just cars are charging me $1700 for insurance on the R32 gtr, Shannons just quoted me $1800 with agreed value or 25k on a limited 1-2 days a week use. List of mods (standard stuff: ecu, zorst, coilovers, wheels) I've had a no claim history and one speeding fine I'm rating 1 and 26yo. I thought that Shannons we're supposed to be really good to go with and I've got friends with the same model car using them and their policies are $500 cheaper.

[xALmoN]

call again, and speak to someone else?

[JamesK]

Insurance companies using that as justification for a rise just means call another company... I've had no such increase with Shannons.

shannons didn't increase mine... i know jci increased krysisisisiu's

Can you guys please stop talking up shannons? They wont take me until I'm 25

haven'd had a crash yet have you

THIS

[alr33x]

I spoke to Shannon's 26 rating 1 no claims fines etc they were 1k more than JCI!

JCI tried to put my premium up $250-300 at renewal I rang and said get stuffed I'll go elsewhere so they left it the same rate which I was fine with on my Lexus was $1300p.a no ridiculous excess and 48k agreed value just got my a5 no extra charge and agreed value is even higher so can't complain..
