Tiguan Insurance

**hamisticle** · 12-12-2016, 12:38 PM

Does anyone have comp insurance quotes for the MY17 162 R-Line yet? I was wondering if its worth starting a new thread or can a few of the member`s share their research on the best prices they have been given and was it direct or through a broker?

Yes it was a woefully short list which made me wonder how strict/meaningful it actually was. I also tried ringing their customer service up to clarify what "approved repairer" actually meant and didn't really get a proper answer - basically gave up and decided to just play it safe.

I've used Specific Prestige in Adelaide which is the "approved" repairer and they pretty much exclusively do Solitaire Automotive's work (main Adelaide VW/Audi/Jag/Land Rover/Skoda dealer). It's a separate company but they replace panels instead of bogging/beating them. If you go with one of the approved repairers you'll be guaranteed to get genuine new parts fitted to your car.

They pretty much specialize in these brands only so are pretty familiar with the cars which is a big plus.

Thanks tigger, that reaffirms my decision to go with an insurer that allows choice of repairers.

BUMP

hi guys, a bit of a noob with the insurance and caring about insurance in general, as this will be my first brand new car.

Just wondering if you had any suggestions for insurers for the 162 tsi r-line?

There's been a few posts in other threads with indications on costs etc. Not all insurers had the 162TI listed (you would have had to call them up) but I'd say most of them will have it as an option now.

My current Jetta is insured with NRMA and has a fairly low premium (I think around $600) but I got a quote from NRMA for the Tiguan (162TSI R-Line with the lot) and it came in at just over $1000, so I'll be shopping around a bit.

It's worth remembering that even the timing of a quote will vary wildly, much less differences for location, drivers, specs on car and so on.. eg. my now retired S3 was under $500 in Dec 15 (and would have remained there had I not sold it) but if I'd only commenced insuring in Dec 16 it was almost double that.

Chuck in the other variables and it is almost pointless trying to compare quotes.

Yep spot on.

If you want to save some money but stick with a good insurer, then get the best quote you can, try Coles etc, then take that to your insurer of choice and they will likely match it.
I had a quote for $945 on my Jetta and had it matched to Coles $471.
Oh and I got a quote for a Tiguan 162 at $653

Insurance is a game, you need to know how to play.
