It's usually cheap for a reason,I have read through the fine print of many cheap insurance companys,I didnt like what I read.

Have you read through there terms and conditions?

Yaw · 26-09-2007, 06:05 PM

Not that cheap. its about average for mine.

sfr rob · 26-09-2007, 06:11 PM

my old man signed up with another mob, cheap as for a new navara, something like 200 bucks.
I am going to check these guys out too and see if i can get insurance cheaper than 1600 on my F6 for a 23 year old...... wish me luck!!

sfr rob · 26-09-2007, 06:19 PM

Budget direct insurance.

LTDHO · 27-09-2007, 07:51 AM

Why are people so concerned about premium then benifits?

It's like saying you saved money buying an XT instead of a Ghia!!

LOL

And when they have a claim they will be back up on the forums advising everyone how they got ripped off after a claim without telling people the facts that they were a cheap *** in the first place.

Go on!!! Gamble your second highest purchase in your lifetime on a cheap premium

I have a 2002 Fairmont V8.my current insurer AAMI it is $504 a year Supercheap $408.
I prefer to stay with a known company, maybe when Supercheap insurance has been around for a few years and quality is know, might change.

mrgo40rd · 27-09-2007, 12:00 PM

did not find them cheap (with shannons lot better good service)

Quicksand · 27-09-2007, 12:10 PM

I pay just over $700 a year for my XR6T; i'm 24 in Perth, WA. The insurance might be cheap but what about the excess, benefits etc. I'm with WQBE and my excess is only $300 (as im under 25 otherwise it would be $200) and i get unlimited wind screen replacements, new for new vehicle replacement if the car is written off, a tow truck if i am in an accident and heaps more.

The other point brought up is about service. Find somewhere and stick with them; loyalty is rewarded (yes Insurance companies can be nice sometimes). WQBE now bend over backwards to keep me and beat anyone if i give them a quote and thats only after 5 years of membership

hy_boi · 27-09-2007, 12:13 PM

I'm 21 and i'm paying 1690 for my XR6T through RACQ. which is thinks pretty good...plus no one else would insure me.

I have my EL with RACQ - when I bought it I was 22 and paying $1200 a year. Now I'm 25 and paying around $760 a year

And I have had an at-fault prang (minor) in another car when I was younger, and yes I made a claim (not with RACQ at the time). But RACQ still insured me and the claim only made like $50 a year difference to my premium.

I reckon I have a good deal.

So this supercheap insurance is the same company that owns supercheap auto?

If so, no thanks

They are selling insurance for budget direct,almost like an agent,if and when you made a claim you would be dealing with budget direct,not supercheap.

i will not be getting my insurance through Budget Direct
or deal with them ever again period.

Years ago when i was young and when Budget Direct just started
they use to be call something else.
I insure with them cos they are cheap as chips.

When i have a minor accident and they knock back my claim
becos they don't insure vehicles that is for business use only
I have been paying them for the 2 yrs and it says
business use on the policy that they sent me!!!

In the end the money just comes out of my own pocket,
which i am not happy about it and i move on.

You get what you pay for.

It is entirely possible their guidelines may have changed or the operator that insured them was not paying attention to what they were doing.

well RACV wont insure me for a Chrysler 300C with a 6.1l Hemi.
im 29, rating 1 for LIFE and never made a claim.
although, when i turn 30, it will cost me $1200pa

BeStRaFe · 27-09-2007, 12:31 PM

they wont insure me :(

**DJM83** · 27-09-2007, 02:51 PM

Think ill stick with my current insurer, i just got a quote from just car insurance and it was $600 less p/a then my current policy. But ill wait till my current policy expires as its not valid in QLD

Yaw · 27-09-2007, 06:40 PM

I'll stick with my Comp Insurance, Pretty hard to beat the pirce I get.
2007 Territory TX rwd agreed value $42570 for 12 months with a hire car option I only pay $285. Of course i get a 50% staff discount.
But even paying full price without the rental car with this mob if more than $250 extra with less benifits.

4vxc · 27-09-2007, 10:46 PM

had a very minor accident and was insured with budget direct (supercheaps insurer) it was a major nightmare, I agree 100% its not worth going for cheap insurance you will regret it if you need to make a claim.

NudgE^SIKBRO · 28-09-2007, 12:10 AM

i pay 950pa for the Ghia including all mods and with an agreed value of 23,000k which is what it owes me...

Nostalgia · 28-09-2007, 09:37 PM

I have fully comp cover on both of my cars. $228 a year for my EA and $276 a year for my wifes AU. Both cars in my name and i have been rating 1 for 10 years with no claims.
