Shell Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 For the first time 1979, we can pick our own CTP insurance! Hopefully a bit of competition brings the cost down a bit for us! http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/more-choice-for-third-party-insurance-in-act-20130619-2oik7.html#ixzz2WdyhG2d1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/427305-ctp-insurance-you-can-now-choose/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke gtr Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 so, just like nsw? yeah, good luck with that one.... effectively, its compulsory, so they charge what they want, and you have to pay it. I tried to bargain a couple of times, calling different companies, and was told, 'nope, thats the price, I cant adjust or change it at all.' hope its better for you guys than us.

NYTSKY Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I found a good price last year for CTP using a comparison website and when I called the issuer the price was higher. The explanation was "those websites don't update as often as the insurer does". The best price for insurance I have found has been through brokers.

Yeah I'm not holding out much hope that it's suddenly going to become super cheap. But at least it's better than having no choice whatsoever.
