Thread: NSW - CTP for defender - wackydo it's expensive!

Just Paid for my CTP yesterday for the 15 October expiry, with AAMI,

Vehicle - 2008 SVX 110 Defender,

Cost $443.00, but I do have several policies with them.

my 1955.107ute due now. QBE last year $611,rego $381 =$$992 this year QBE $662 rego $461= $1123. another $131. a motor bike over 250cc is about $1000 ?? is it all about wheight or how many wheels are wearing out are lovely roads they've lost me.

but our roads are so good, its the price you pay for the privilege.

Am i missing something or has the world got real expensive overnight?

What are NSWelshman paying for their CTP insurance on a defender?

Have you looked to see if you are being charged as a commercial vehicle. I had this problem with my defender with the toll tage.

I had to do a lot of explaing to get it changed to passenger vehicle.

As Defenders do not have airbags etc there is something about them being commercial vehicles so they can be imported/registered on Australian roads.

Just an idea, good luck.

Thanks for the heads up. I changed the criteria to motor vehicle it changed the quotations. Cheapest was $580, most expensive $746. Again 6 insurers above $700. The rego papers have it classed as "PVF" which is 4wd passenger vehicle. The greenslip comparison web page only permits "motor vehicle", "Ute/commercial" or "motor cycle". No option for 4wd passenger vehicles.

Might be a case of the old telephone contact to control the use of the information and negotiate better terms.

Still doesn't change the fact that vehicle ownership is an expensive exercise. I get the impression that the government is pushing up the cost of ownership so it influences people to downsize from 2 cars to 1 car or move to PT. It certainly isn't going into maintenance of roads and improvement of transport infrastructure.

My QLD is $323 per year or $340 over the year if you pay half yearly.

Yes things are getting dear, but CTP is supposed to be for our protection and those we might hit. So are there more claims on the insurance or are the insurance companies using this to make money to cover claims on other insurance they sell.

Just a thought

Besides the Landys that I own,also have a commyfloor ute.

Rego for ute was only $323,but greenslip was $660..WTF

Landy was mid $400's for both...

Go figure,cause I cant...

cheers
