    Insurance

    Hey all, It was that time of year again and the insurance policy loomed over my head. I got the renewal notice from the current insurer and fell over backwards $900.
    After a bit of a ring around, as you do, I found out the major companies were all about the same.

    Got onto GIO, which quoted $728, which was a larger discount that the others. They offered a two year new for old replacement, windscreen, hire car, blah, blah, blah.

    I was seriously thinking about switching when I tried YOUI. I was a bit dubious about them, but rang and found out some info on their policies. After a twenty minute phone call with a nice bloke names Mark Listorti [MarkL@youi.com.au], i got a quotes for $578.97, which covered my four-wheel driving, excluded monster truck events, which doesn’t affect me, but included free hire car, windscreen, two years new for old and agreed value.

    If anyone is interested I would recommend dropping them an email, though he did say that they prefer low risk policies, obviously I was considered low risk, $320 cheaper than my current insurer, who I’ve been with for 10+ years.

    Oh, they are supposed to be an Australian based company based on the Gold Coast. I hope this helps anyone who is interested in renewing their insurance.
    Cheers Mick

    Top bit of info mate - what was the agreed value though and did it cover accessories?? I pay about $430 through AAMI with a set value of $10700 ... I only paid $7500 for the truck, but have over $10K plus in accessories that obviously the majority isn't covered as such. That price includes hire car and windscreen and comprehensive cover outside of events as you've stated.

    Agreed/market value $63500

    And yes all accessories included, plus $700 for personal items inside the trol.
