    Insurance

    Hi all, I have searched for any postings on Insurance and there are many but none seem relevant so my apologies if this has been asked before.

    I have to organize insurance for my new defender when it arrives next week, did I mention my new defender arrives next week.

    I got a quote from QBE, it was $1000 a year, I have full no claims I think that is called rating 1 here, and I am in my late 30's never had an accident.

    I am not adverse to paying this if it is indeed a good policy but I have my doubts.

    Does this seem expensive? the car is standard with no mods as of yet. Also it had a $450 excess, I am a bit worried as I could not see anything relating to off road driving on the policy, I would hate to find out it was void be cause I was on fraser or something.

    Any recommendation would be gratefully accepted.

    thanks
    Patrick.

    Hi Patrick,

    We are with QBE as well and pay $868 but our Puma is now 12 months old. We get a discount for being Perth Glory members, having a second car insured with them and the house too so that $1000 may be ballpark. I have left it with SWMBO to sort out insurance over the last 4-5 yrs so haven't had to haggle for a while! Interesting to hear what others pay for their Pumas.

    Well I guess that's not a bad price then,

    To cripesamighty: Have you had to claim from QBE? I am just wondering what there restrictions maybe on off road claims.

    Thanks for our replies.

    I have a panel beater mate who prefers to deal with Suncorp or Elders. Suncorp particularly, do try to do the right thing wanting repairs done to a high standard and not looking for loopholes, or the cheapest way out.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    may I recommend NRMA, they embarrassed the other companies by several hundred dollars so I added a few items of cover I normally wouldnt have.

    Hey thanks for that, I just got a quote online from them and they are nearly twice the price. But then I am not a member so maybe that's why.

    Does your cover include full off-road third party cover? Is it negotiated replacement value or is any full write-off claim based on the current market value? These will affect the cost, but in general $1000 is pretty good for a new car.

    OK just did another quote with QBE but clanged a few things.

    New car policy fully comp with 4 years 100,000k new car replacement (this is worth it I think) $450 excess (cant seem to lower this) cover anywhere in Australia, no exclusions for off road unless unregistered.

    No mods though as I don't have any yet apart from the tow bar, but can add them later. anyway is now the cheapest I have found at $788.

    $788.00Monthly: $72.10 Fortnightly$33.30Excesses &
    Driver
    Exclusions:
    Vehicle excess $450


    Note: Other excesses may apply - check quotation
    confirmation or policy schedule for details




    Features & Benefits:
    • 21 day cooling off period
    • Travelling expenses after an incident
    • Hire car following theft (limit 14 days & max $1000 )
    • Trailer cover (limit $500)
    • Essential temporary repairs (limit $500)
    • Redelivery costs if repairs are carried out over 100kms from your home (limit $500)

    Just because there are no exclusions for off-road cover does not therefore mean that it will cover you off-road. You will only have off-road cover if the policy specifically states that you have it otherwise all car insurances will only cover you on-road. Roads might include paper roads but not always and certainly would not cover most tracks unless they appear on cadastral maps as roads.

    Off-road cover should also cover you against things like causing bush fires, etc. which can get very expensive even if you did not act in a way likely to cause it, say your exhaust emits a spark that causes a fire.
