best of all is AAMI, they ask if you have had trouble free motoring, take your word for it, that is they dont insist on seeing your proof of no claims and then they offer you their Rating 1 for life. I got fully comp on a brand new Pajero for $600

They didn't ask for proof. But hold onto the proof just in case, you MAY need it in the event of a Claim !

Re: car insurance
We went with RACQ and got a good deal on a brand new Landcruiser Prado. We had written proof from our UK insurance company but I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have needed it.
Ours cost $491 as opposed to £540 in the UK on a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Re: car insurance
When I insurred my car last year they honoured my no claims from the UK but only upto 45 %, I think in the UK it was 50 %.
You don't need to insure you car if you don't want to as your automatically covered third party through your road tax.
Insidendtly one of the reasons it looks cheaper to insure in Oz is that you do not get the same level of cover. We have fully comp but when our car was broken into and about $2000 worth of gear stolen they looked at me as if I was from another planet when I tried to claim for the missing goods.

The 3rd party you get in your annual car registration does NOT cover other vehicles like a normal 3rd party insurance. If you get your car and go on the road and run up the ass of a BMW, you will have to pay for all of his damages out of your own pocket!! The only thing you wont have to pay for, and this is what the compulsory 3rd party covers, is if he or anyone is injured.
I mean heck, if you want to take the chance and not get any further insurance, drive on the road....then do it, but if you end up in thousands of $$'s worth of debt because you didnt get additional insurance....its no ones fault but your own....
(Keel, I know you said you got insurance, that was just a general statement to anyone that wants to take the risk )
But please...anyone out there telling people they dont need to get insurance because of the compulsory 3rd party....quit it!!

Re: car insurance
I just checked my car with BudgetDirect and it came up with $324.00
AAMI has just quoted $453 for the same. HOWEVER, I actually paid them $392 six months ago, for the same cover
