Shannons were competitively priced for for a MYP. 31 year old male driver, $2087 per year with a $1500 excess. Nataurally premium can be reduced with a higher excess. Got a quote from AAMI as well $4933, laughed and hung up.

Last I look it was just hanging off the coast with other vessels no doubt waiting for a spot, I hope I’m wrong and it’s on its way to Melbourne
It’s not going to Melbourne without unloading at Port Kembla first

no queue jumping allowed you Victorians/TasmaniansWeird feeling just now - went to the servo for possibly my last time! MY delivery due next week but I had to put some fuel in the old ICE car that'll be sold soon after and it struck me that I may not be back in a servo for a long time if ever (assuming EVs will only gain mainstream use and I don't go back).
Got an iced coffee to celebrate / commiserate.
How peculiar!

So with recent information of the price hikes in insurance policies I have just decided to purchase my policy now. Allianz has drastically increased the price, and I feel others may do the same.
I was able to complete a quote, and have a policy ready to start for the 24th Feb (My current EDD) through Westpac using only the VIN number, not needing the rego. Total cost with $1500 excess and windscreen excess was $1850 annually. For those that are planning to put custom plates on you can probably do the same by adding in your registration as you know what it will be?
Worst case scenario is I pay insurance for a couple of weeks for a car I don't own but beats paying the $700 increase in price that Alliance have implemented, and possibly that others might do the same.

What market price did you manage to get with Westpac? Tops out at 105 I think?
I'm not sure how to check? I didn't bother with agreed value. I assume the "market" value fluctuates and is calculated at the time of the claim?

Yeah sorry I meant agreed value. Market value is what they will decide when you make a claim

Just ran a quote with Shannon’s for shits and giggles and it came out really good. Lowest yet. $1800 yearly, with monthly option at no extra cost. $1000 excess, excess free windscreen (one period of insurance which I guess means yearly?) and agreed value at $97k. Bumped it to $107k and it’s just $68 bucks more!
I might go ahead with it now!

I found the same. Not as good as previous Allianz, but since Allianz is not longer an option, Shannon’s is cheapest. However, has anyone actually had to make a claim and how was that process of claiming and repairing? At least with the bigger companies (not the budget ones), they have a reputation to protect.
I just ran a quote through Shannons with the same details as I did with Westpac, annual premium of $2,700~
Westpac by far the cheapest for me.
Sydney must have it cheaper with Shannon, mine is also ~$2.7k - $2.9k as well for Melbourne
