Insurance - Superb Elegance Wagon

**rapidattack** · 07-01-2011, 08:36 PM

Hey,

Pick up my new Wagon next week and have been looking at insurance premiums, ooh my they are dear!
Living in Wollongong with lock up garage, over 30 with perfect record.....cant get it under $1300.

Any ideas/suggestions about Skoda and insurance.

When I spoke with Allianz they didn't know what Skoda was! Oh oh!

Didn't happen to buy the Superb recently did you? You might qualify for their 1 year free insurance if you did, I missed out because I am under 25! (by 4 months

).

That sounds way over the top to me but I guess it's NSW pricing.
There was an insurance thread a couple of weeks ago it may be worth checking it out.
My Octavia VRS in Vic is around $600.00 (I think just under but I would have to check).

I am having a similar issue on quotes. I suppose I should point out that I want agreed value, full comprehensive and all the bells and whistles in a policy. My car is coming with all the options attached and more pushing up the price. All my recent quotes have been around the $1100 mark with a clean record and 40 yr old male. I thought I had stumbled onto something good in Budget but on closer inspection it was only for market value. Some suggestions would also be appreciated. I have checked out Youi, budget, Just Car Insurance, i-select (which so far has been the most promising- although Youi said they would match another quote), Allianz, RACV, Doors and AAMI. When I was checking about 2 months ago the policies were all around the $800-900 mark but have now shot up about $200. Are they trying to re-coupe their losses from the hail damage policies? Either way there is an obvious increase. Some good insurance company suggestions would be highly appreciated.

GIO tend to have lower online quotes, and they give you a discount if you do it online too.

I-Select is not an insurance company they are effectively just a broker and may well be getting pricing at a different level from some of the companies that you have apparoached directly.

All I can say is just look at every insurance company via their online sites. I am with AAMI (Comprehensive) and when I had a 2004 V8 Landcruiser I saved about $350 ($950 - $600)from their phone quote to their internet quote. I had that insurance for a year and when I got the renewal, I punched the exact same details they had for me on the renewal notice back into their online site and saved another $55! I cancelled my renewal and just bought it again.

Yeah, I know they are only a brokerage but the two unknown insurance companies they put forward were around $900 for everything. Need to stll take a good look at their PDS though.
