Default Very competitive car insurance

Just browsing the web looking for a cheaper comprehensive insurance for Mrs Wol's car when it is due next month.

The best was Comminsure.

Honda Integra Luxury, 1 year old, Market value and two named drivers: $0 excess:

Annual premium $0.00; if paid monthly $0.00 pm.

Seems like a good deal to me - anyone better it?

(Owned by Commonwealth Bank I believe - is this a clue........?)

Try www.budgetdirect.com.au

They surprised me with a good quote. Now just trying to decide if I should switch and save $50, or stay with a well known company ?

Having been involved in Insurance in the past I am a bit wary


PS: I like your premiums

There's an awful lot of zeroes in that quote. Are you sure it's right?

I insured the Golf with them. Very good premium & as I have no knowledge of Aussie insurance companies & happy with them. Car insurance is one of the few things that is really cheaper here & I mean 40% cheaper in our case.

I can vouch for RAC's claims dept( or at least so far) some idiot decide to park in my front wing the other week, called RAC, got straight through asked them what the process was for getting it fixed, ive got to drop it at the repair centre next week, they get a taxi to take me to work, they then assess the damage, start work that afternoon, and hope to have it done the next day, they'll let me know when and will send a taxi to take me there to collect it.
A couple of days after putting in the first call I get a call from my claims consultant who is looking after it to check I had all the address details etc.
Yesterday I got another call from them to remind that it was booked in for next week.
So no complaints as yet.... I just know im cursing myself with this one
