Insurance Quotes FIY

[MJT]

Just stumbled upon this thread. I dont normally see things in the Polo section but this thread looks like having a much broader value!

I currently pay just over $1200 for the Jetta with AAMI, other recent quotes include:
JustCars $1280
Youi $1180

And a handful of others north of $1300. These quotes include my 19" wheels and the side skirts, and front lip and all threaten to increase another $100 when i add the coilovers in the near future.

I just quoted TheBuzz last night and they came in at $1060! And thats with the suspension too!

Is there any reason not to go with TheBuzz? Any problems to be aware of? Are the listed modifications included in the value of the car or in addition to?

No idea MJT but that still seems steep for the Jetta with AAMI! I couldn't believe my price for a rare-as-hens-teeth-gti-that-would-be-impossible-to-replace-or-find-parts-for.

I thought that it was high too. Perfect record and no suspensions and I'm 28 too. I can't work it out. Cars kept in a looked garage too.

I feel like I'm getting ripped off i just can't fix it!!

Have found out the reason behind Shannon's and why they are so expensive too. You need to have a minimum amount of aftermarket modifications, which increase your premium too!

and/or be a member of a car club

mine is $1,150.11 with shannons which was the best at the time but will be shopping around again after reading this thread!

what's your excess?

I moved the missus' 77TSI over to Shannons for $800 (cheaper than AAMI where it was previously). No excess on theft, only $500 on accident at fault. Better cover and conditions despite having the same parent company as AAMI hehe. No km limit since its her daily.

Yeah, I've used Shannons on two separate occasions for two separate VW's, and they've beated NRMA and AAMI. Not that I'd ever use AAMI for a car such as a VW, lol

[Karly101]

Shannons is normally my pick but they my quote was $1400 because Polo isn't garaged (building garage big enough for all the cars probably a few years away)... I went with RACV $730 but I've got a high excess ($700).

Has anyone heard of Progressive Insurance? My friend is with them and I did a quote and got comprehensive insurance for $400 ... but sounds dodgy! (Car Insurance Australia, Motor & Car Insurance | Progressive Australia)
