Ended up going with Virgin Money car insurance. I can't say how they handle claims (neither can they probably because they're only new themselves) but they are easily the cheapest going round right now...for any car not just rovers!
$530 full comp when I pushed my excess up to $800. Very happy with price!
I just went through RACV (who I've got my bike n Jeep covered with also). I'm 28yo and rating 1 for life with no scars on my record for a very long time. For a '96 Disco diesel, full comprehensive, windscreen replacement and with an agreed value of $7480, paying by the month costs me $65 p/m. Pretty good value considering the peace of mind...
Remember that where you live will affect the price for insurance. Despite living and working in Melbourne at the time, I always "kept" the BMW (my last car) at mums place in Ballarat cos it was $200+ cheaper for insurance and nearly $50 cheaper to register. ;)
DGA Insurance Brokers
Australian 4WD insurance. They cover your car on and offroad anywhere in Australia. They're good to deal with too
Suncorp advertise a "rating 1 for life" well it is B/S not worth the paper it is written on, for example there can be 10 people owning identical vechicles all on "rating 1" living in the same street, yet they are all paying different premiums, the ones that have had previuos claims pay more.
Aami are also part of suncorp.
They were good until this year :-(Quote:

I have spent the day doing online quotes and CGU still have the best price of $344, Budget direct $384, Suncorp $386 and Racv $436, all the others were higher or the company wanted all your personal details, some even NEEDED your mobile number before you could continue.
So I will be giving CGU a ring tomorrow because all my mods are not included on the web site.
Call Shannons. 134646.
Just covered my 1999 D2 for 13K for about $500 depends on your address but over 25 without a claim you should do OK with them. You can add on your accessories. Give them a buzz.
Cheers

Online quote from Shannons comes in at $446, $100 more than CGU.Quote:

My issue is not with Allianz, it is with the price increase from $239 to $543. This is for a vehicle I only use occassionally and I don't think it is worth the $543 a year. I will be getting quotes today for 3rd party F/T.Quote:
