Shannons Insurance

[JynX]

Any one had and dealings with Shannons in respect to car Insurance?

Looking around for a new quote... need to be covered for turbo charging applications :)

[Rupewrecht]

go just cars!

they insured me for the turbo conversion and didnt charge me any extra at all! and they know everything

[JynX]

Yeah they are my second choice.

Shannons - $1800 and will insure anything RTA approved
Just Cars - $2500 same again

[Rupewrecht]

ouch!

is that with the turbo? insure your car without, then add the turbo to the police later, it works out cheaper with JC that way

[sik astina]

I tried Shannons, but u have to be Over 25 to be insured with them

[JynX]

That is without turbo and they didnt mention any age restrictions when I spoke to them. Just to clarify some background to warrant the high price

- First policy held in my name
- Under 25
- Modified Car

simmer for 10mins and you have an instant 2K policy.

I tried shannons and they told me my car was to New a model for them to cover :? I think the guy i spoke to was on drugs :lol:

[Rupewrecht]

i have a vague recollection that they didnt want to cover me for the same reason, theo

but then again, that was back when i bought it...i think. or maybe after the suspension mods

[JynX]

Shannons were pretty good, didnt really care what was on the car as long as it is legal. No changes in policy price for further modifications. I was quite surprised but I will check the policy document he sends out before signing up.

Prob my choice in insurance atm...

Thats a good recipe

[JynX]

Thats a good recipe

shame i suck at cooking then.

Shannons can be good to talk to - I tried insuring the Renault with them but they really couldn't compete with AAMI.

You could try Vigils? Dawesd Underwriting or something?

A.

[JynX]

AAMI wont insure turbo unless its a factory aussie car... They say goto Just Cars :)

The other lesser known mobs either have a over 25 requirment or wont touch the car.

Shannons quoted me $1100 3rd party property unmodified $1300 modified (note this is no fancy 'new' astina we're talking here, but ye olde 323 :shock:
Justcars said $500 odd 3rd party property unlimited mods with $20 premium increase "per modification"

Those quotes were probably over a year ago now...with no age or other restritions mentioned.

3rd parts is a different story. This is comprehensive insurance im talking about.

guys ,..... try out GIO/suncorp.....mine is a V6 under me sisters name and i'm the second driver ....around $1300.

[Toyboy]

GIO doesnt like mods at all,they are tight arses :evil: I was with suncorp for a while and they were great with just a few mods,but when i told them i got a bodykit they didnt want to insure me anymore,cause i went over the modification limit :cry:
