Cheaper Insurance? ($675)
I got emailed a link to an insurance mob I had not heard of before, with enough of a speil to make me interested enough to follow the link...
http://www.ozicare.com.au/
I entered the details for an on-line quote, and I got a pleasant surpise of an $800 premium (for me) on a $500 excess. I upped the excess to the max $1000, and my premium dropped to $675.
That sounds a lot less than what I am paying. I might look into it some more. But it did have choice of repairer, which is important I reckon.
Cheers,
Hymee.

I've already had to use my insurance and was very happy with the outcome including choice of repairer and efficiency.
The Ozicare quote was $1050.
When insuring mine last Nov I tried about 6 sources and Suncorp were cheapest as well as good T&C's.

Hmm... ended up being slightly dearer than what I'm paying at the moment with AAMI. My car is used for business purposes so that probably affects the quote.

Never heard of them so I'm not even going to bother getting a quote.
There's enough trouble with getting paid out on claims with the large insurance companies, what do you think it's going to be like with the no-name ones?

I get $1450 with $1050 excess.
But I am paying $1050 for all the mods I have fitted, so it still does not beat that yet:p
Thanks for the link Hymee
