Unfortunately, the maa site is your only option. Whoever comes up with the cheapest quote would have to be your best bet.

Remember that the price of your greenslip will depend on your driving history/circumstances and not solely on your age. Therefore, if someone else (even around the same age as you) gets quoted a much cheaper price, that basically indicates that he is considered by the insurer to be of much less risk to them than you are.

These risks are carefully considered by the insurers. Remember that your $300-$400 a year could potentially pay for literally millions of dollars on a single claim depending on the severity of the injury.

Generally, the level of risk (hence the price of the insurance cover) is based on where you live, the car you drive and how old you are. In other words, if you live in an area where, statistically, there is a high rate of motor vehicle accidents and you drive a high-powered vehicle and you belong to an accident-prone age group, then you will be slugged with a relatively high premium.

the other things is green slips are weighted against the age of the car. the newer the car, the cheaper the green slip. once you get a car that is 10+ it's a battle to get anything less than $500.

dOOdz I suggest you try the www.maa.nsw.gov.au calculator as recommended by razorsharp. If the final amount remains at $560+ then you must be considered high risk. Do you have a bad driving history?

Im 21, green Ps (get them off in 2 months), NEVER had an accident. Live in an area which is pretty good not like a high crime area.

so wtf...

Doodz mate. you are 21 years old and on your p's FFS. you would be the highest risk there is. had some speeding fines? had some disqualification? of course it's going to be expensive. of course you've never had an accident, you've only had a provisional licence for <3 years.

fair enough, good work on the no fines, that will certainly help with comprehensive (which I assume you have?).

but yes, as you are male, <25 and on your P's you can expect to pay the highest rate there is. sucks, but that's the way it is.

Not sure how different the NSW vs QLD insurance prices rate. We don't have compulsory 3rd party property. 3rd party Personal is part of registration costs.

Have full comprehensive insurance for 93 R32-GTR for AGREED Value of $28k and it INCLUDES cover for Club track/timed events and all modifications as long as I notify them and they are legal. It also does not have any hidden restrictions like theft cover is void if on street after 11 at night.

Costing me $1250 with Shannons - go the gogo. I am 33 with no accidents so that might make a bit of difference.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
