Had a look at Club 4x4 quote page, ends up being about same cost as Shannons, BUT
Greater market value of basic ute, not a lot but some.
Greater value of add ons, a dollar value instead of a list and its 100% covered
Some funds toward recovery, (options to upgrade if required)
NRMA Roadside assist, (just paid it $199 bugger)
Pat Callanans mag for a year, ($75.00?)
Will certainly be talking to them in August when we have to renew our policy.

You can cancel your current one and get paid out on what's owing.

Thanks.
I was thinking just that jay see, as were heading into the centre returning home on the renewal date.
Be nice to have more applicable cover.
Reckon I will contact Shannons to see about cancelling the policy I have, could get an extra bit off from Club 4x4 as I have roadside assist.
Sometimes they do stuff like that to sign you up.

I was with Shannons until last week, but have just switched to Club 4x4. Premium was over $200 less with a more realistic $11k higher agreed value. The process of getting a quote was so much easier than with many other companies. As a new company they seem to be making significant inroads into our market segment quite quickly because, I think, their product is what people want. Being new I guess there is a degree of risk - will they last?, will they handle claims well? Time will tell on those things, but they seem to be doing things right so far, so I was happy to give them a go. The more folk who do this, the better their long term future looks.

I am wondering why they had to outlay any monies if they were insured...never heard of this....can you explain why if one is insured as to why they had to outlay any money..

I guess Club 4x4 will comment on this when they next 'drop by'. However this was the optional process with my previous motorhome insurer. I never used it, but know others who did. It was just a means of speeding up recovery etc. It may be more common with specialist insurance arranged though brokers as opposed to cover direct from insurance companies???

Gday Cuppa,

Glad you gave us a shot and pleased you're on board.

We have a few claims already and have a couple more testimonials on the way to help people get more comfortable with us. Claims is where the rubber hits the road (or dirt!) so we are doing our best to iron out any bugs in our processes as early as possible. None of it is possible without feedback and we take that very seriously.

Regarding your latter comment - no one in the market offers off-road recovery cover (to my knowledge anyway!!) which is precisely why Avo for example says he's never heard of anyone doing things this way - plain and simply because no one has ever come out and offered this before!
