Car Insurance

Honestly, so far (fingers crossed), I haven't had any big hikes with Club4x4 from the original to the renewal, and I've added extras from mods to the policy. Now the missus RACV last renewal, they tried to increase it about 50% and she argued with them, told them she was leaving them, and they dropped the increase about 30% or more.

Fight tooth and nail with them and don't take the dribble they try and feed you over the phone.

talking to a mate about this yesterday, he has a vw amarok that's about 12 years old and he's paying about 70% more than me for my mux18  :crybaby2:

Standard procedure these days. Each year we call up for each car when the renewal comes. It's a pain but we usually get some joy. This time, they asked about increasing the excess to reduce the premium. Sure, says I but first you have to explain to me exactly what is behind the 50% increase. Lots of very general ideas put forward about the state of the market and its impacts.  I am not so sure so will ring around tomorrow to see if it's the same everywhere.

Interestingly, the guy asked how many kms we do annually and provided several bands eg 0 - 5000, 5000 - 10000, 10000 - 15000. I answered that we do about 25k kms pa. He had trouble believing it was a family vehicle and not commercial. Such a palaver.
