Insurance

Shocked to find out Shannons are now the most expensive insurer BY FAR.

They were hundreds of dollars cheaper than the next best for the Polo GTI.

Now, for the Golf GTI, they're a thousand dollars more expensive.....

RACV was cheapest (~$981, including similar benefits to Shannons). Will be signing up as vehicle pickup date approaches, & will most likely add their Home Insurance to it also, to get a further 10% off...

I need to do the Victorian ring-around as well.

In SA Shannon's were always more expensive than most others, but they are mod-friendly. SGIC had my Mk7 GTI in Adelaide at agreed value with unlimited mods at barely $400 - don't think I'll be repeating that here, but don't think I can either - does IAG trade under anything else except CGU here?

Do any insurance companies offer a discount if you have Da2?
I have it down to $44 pm
Can I do better?

Not sure about the specifics on the insurance companies recognising as a safety feature. I read recently that a 'radar' safety feature that is standard vs an option may not be acknowledged as they cannot ensure all vehicles have the feature.
For your quote, is that your pm repayment? Or the discount you have been offered for the safety feature?
Insurance will obviously vary 90TSi vs Golf GTi
