Car Insurance

[snicko]

This forum is awsome, the more I keep looking the more things I find that I have questions about.

Because of what happened with Kris (getting his bike stolen) I have been a bit anal about security with the 4bee.
I looked into Sat nav GPS, alarms etc then the next logical step is insurance. (I have calmed down a bit now!!)

This post is exactly what I was looking for as I wont to insure the truck for agreed value. I down loaded the quote request and will use it.

Thanks heap guys.

I found TCIS to be useless as well! Because of my age they wanted to charge me $2800 for comp insurance! Ended up going with AAMI, on first quote they would only insure for $12K, however after detailing all the accessories on the vehicle i managed to get it up to $17,200 coverage for $1,400 a year - I originally wanted $19,500 coverage, but that's the best they would do.

I have just requested a quote through Affinity Insuraqnce. They have a new 4 wheel drive section.

Give it a try.

Let us know what you think when you hear back from them.

I had the same issue with our 18 year old Troopy. We paid about $3k more than the highest book price & wanted to insure it for what we paid, agreed value. However Shannons were the only company who would insure it for what we wanted - expensive premium though. Just insured the 5 year old GU for twice the value of the Troopy (agreed value again) with another company (APIA) & the premium was close to half that for the Troopy. Crazy!

BUMP!

How does everyone go insuring their 4WD's on tracks?

Main reason I haven't been insured for years is because I couldn't get anyone to cover me on Tracks. RACV became really sketchy when I told them I 4WD on tracks and that I had modifications to the vehicle. I was basically told they wouldn't cover an accident out in the bush.

Do you guys/gals tell them what kind of driving you do? Do you actually know if you're covered if you roll your car out on a track? Or even hit a tree or something similar?

Be interested to know!

AAMI cover me so long as it's State/National Park, gazetted road, and/or private park.

I had a reasonably priced quote from AAMI through the online quote system.. not too long ago actually.

Might call them up and ask properly. Sounds like a good deal.

Sounds good BigRig.. so is the Patrol covered in the case of a write off (god forbid) on named tracks? Or is that only on bitumen?

Fully covered so long as I'm not trespassing ...

LOL.. you would never trespass in your 4WD so you're fine!
