Which Insurance company are you with?

[Christopher]

I'm up for renewal of my comprehensive insurance and have been shopping around for the last few days. Shannons does come across as a good insurer but the $2000 they quoted me was a bit out of my zone.

At the cheaper end of the scale, anyone had experience with Progressive Direct?

are you <25 or >25?
For me, I'm <25 and I've insured with RACV (not too sure what your NSW eqivalent is, perhaps NRMA(?)) for agreed value of $42k for $1200 a year with a $1000 excess... So with stanard excess I was ~$1700-ish.

I'm over 25, under 30. Had NRMA for the past year at $1300, so just seeing what else is out there.

The lowest quote I've got so far is Progressive Direct at ~$850, but am interested to hear any others' experiences with them...

I'm 48 - so age, history and a good rating is not an issue for me, but I do understand your point!

AAMI quoted me (30yo) $850 but I don't like their policies because they don't allow choice of repairer and I believe the Golfs can't be repaired by anyone, particular rear end damage? Something to do with laser welds and the rear quarter?

GIO who do allow choice of repairer came back at $1250 with $600 excess though I have house and contents with them so might see what they can do as a bundle and bring the Polo over as well.

AAMI could be paying you $850 and you should still go with GIO!
Don't do it man - you do not want to risk an accident and NOT WRITING IT OFF with AAMI.

Cheaper than my 13 year old Honda Civic!
