Insurance on your Passat

R36 Dreamer said earlier in this thread that he (?) got a quote from Lumley for $1200.

I guess once people start calling to ask about insurance they'll start adding the R36 to their systems.

That's a great price. Mine's around $1700 with NRMA. Lumley quoted $1155......no prizes for guessing who I'm going with!!

Right then, looks like I need to change insurance co's

2008 V6 Wagon (wit Roof, auto tail etc) about $1100 per year with full no claim bonus.

This was a bit cheaper than my last car a 2004 XR6T so I thought it was OK but some of you are being quoted between $700 - $900!!!

I hope you don't mind me bumping this thread. I'm picking up my new R36 wagon this Friday! I stopped by the dealership yesterday to take a look. Can't wait!

So I now need to sort out insurance and I've noted that prices can vary significantly.

@ all you R36 wagon owners:
Where do you have your little beauties insured? How much do you pay and what's your excess?

Thanks!

I've now been in contact with most of the big and some of the small companies. Thought I'd share my findings here - hopefully it can be of help to someone.

These quotes are based on an R36 wagon for private use, youngest driver 30+ years, nominated drivers, less than 10,000km/year, highest NCB, garaged at night, Sydney eastern suburbs. Excess $500 unless specified.

- Budget Direct: No quote available for this vehicle
- Lumley Special Vehicles: $1370
- Suncorp: $2250
- GIO: $1970
- CGU: $1578
- NRMA: $1433 (excess $1000)
- RealInsurance: $1070
- HBA: $1054
- AAMI: $1781 (excess $550)
- Ryno: $1547
- JustCars: $1638 (excess $600)

It's also worth mentioning that Choice just published a full review/comparison of car insurance policies on their website.

I will definitely go with HBA. Good price, scored really well in the comparison and very friendly service (at least so far).
