I can honestly say it would be worth modding your car and driving it less simply to be with Shannons

I'm with AAMI. Previously RACV.
RACV have made a claim with RACV. They were quite good. Pretty much handled everything for me. All I basically had to do was call up, make the claim, ask if it was going to be fixed and in the end, they wrote it off and sent me a cheque with no fuss.

I wont go back to a couple of the bigger insurance companies.
They screw the repairer down so much he can only do a crappy job, or worse they get dodgy repairer who shouldn't be allowed near a car to do the work. I had to take a car back 5 times to get it fixed to a decent standard, they keep giving the car back to same dodgy repairer. I sold the car as soon as I got it back because it was looking pretty worn after spending so much time in the shop. I am with Budget now and have made a claim, I chose the repairer and was looked after very well. Even with a mark against my no claims bonus they were still cheaper that the others. |

Shannons for the ute and NRMA for the landrover, havent made a claim with shannons and it's been about 7 years with NRMA.
Really happy with the cover for the ute though $8K coverage for not much more than the cost of third party property. Regards, Tote

Shannons are the best and especially for modded cars.
Easy to deal with also. |

RACV. No probs with mods (to a point I think) but I have never made a claim so I dont know what they're like with them.

RACV - Have made two claims.... My car got written off and two weeks later was driving a brand new one out of the car yard. Have no probs with mods, however they cracked it when i got my AUII XR6 Ute and said without thinking that it had a Roll Bar on it. I rang back and spoke to someone else, said I had a 'Sports Bar' and no problems.

I'm with AAMI. Never had a problem with them. Also found they gave me the best deal. Beat NRMA by at least $600 each time. Green slips were cheaper aswell.
Customer service is great. Never had to speak to a computer. Always speak to a real person and never on hold for a great deal of time.

Ryno Insurance - no problems and great customer service/ competitive price. Fortunately haven't had the pleasure of claiming.

AAMI is great till you do more than 1 mod...as soon as you hit 2 mods, they won't insure you, they reccommend Just car, cause they underwrite it. Otherwise Shannons.
