    Car Insurance

    Nobody wants to insure my GU for agreed value. Market value is (apparently) between $10,000 and $15,000. I looked for months and coulndnt find a patrol for that sort of money.. Anyway, even though it is only slightly modified no one will touch it. Who do u guys use? Have tried Shannons and Ryno, as well as the usual. aami etc. They all say it is too old and not worth the money. (idiots) Like to see them buy one for under $15,000.

    I've forgotten the name of the company but there is a specific 4WD insurance that is only available to 4WD club members. The premiums are up a bit but you get better coverage.
    I'm with RACQ, never had a problem with them covering my car, but never had to make a claim either.

    I'll get back to this thread with how I went too.

    Hey mate - what mods do you have and have you told them (Allianz)?? Reason being (and trying to assist you just in case you get caught in a jam) is that I had my insurance with Allianz cancelled yesterday (literally) after updating them of my suspension setup. They (unlike NRMA, Suncorp, RACQ, etc) will not insure the vehicle if it's had more than a 2" lift - ridiculous thing is (and I mean f'ing ridiculous) I had a 'saggy' 3" lift previously which they were aware of and have been covered for about 6 months, but updating the policy to include the new setup which is closer to 4", they have knocked me back and I am now on the hunt for a new insurer ... you might be fine mate, but seriously worth checking because if you have an accident and you are over 50mm (which they say needs to be "insured by a specialist 4WD insurer") then you may find yourself in a world of pain ... my best mate (I was his best man, he was mine, god father to my children) is an insurance broker and does all my insurance and this came direct from him yesterday!!!

    Grrrrrr .... thanks Allianz for the inconsistency in your policies!!!
