Why are people so concerned about premium then benifits?
It's like saying you saved money buying an XT instead of a Ghia!!

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. |

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

 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  :

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

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.

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.

just wait till you get hit by a $1000 dollar excess and your premium goes up by $500. All good IF you don't have a prang.

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. |
