Thread: Where to get insurance on a highly modified D1

Our 4wd club were required to make a claim on it's policy placed via TCIS - the policy didn't hold up (despite it being a specific policy for a specified event) and the club went broke. As a consequence of that experience i would not nsure any of my vehicles with them.

Wait for your renewal. Won't be so nice. Mine came and I was stunned.

Righto, my renewal has just arrived and as you predicted, it has risen. My premium is now about $200 more expensive, but added to that, my agreed value has taken a dive by $3500 and my excess has doubled!! I was just interested in who you ended up insuring with? My vehicle is not heavily modified structurally, I am just running a lot of accessories. There is nothing done to my truck that requires an engineers certificate (ATM anyway). I still think that this quote is within a reasonable range, I am just interested if I can get a better deal elsewhere.

I had both my Landy's with TCIS, until renewal time anyway. Their price went up by over $300 on each vehicle. So I am now with Shannons, same coverage, pay by month option, easy to deal with and great price.
So shop around.
