hey boost...so you say if you dont mention who the youngest driver is you wont be covered?... cos i'm 18 and drive a 99 EM1 and i did a quote under my mum being the youngest driver and got $894 but when i listed myself down as youngest driver, it was $2284... so the youngest driver makes you a preferred driver right?..
Youngest driver is what they base the premium on....
Usually if you go under parents name, you have to pay a higher excess after a smash if someone not listed is driving the car...
yeah. everything listed, but i don't really done it up ricely.Quote:

But believe it or not, for the same stuff , Just car quote me $3500 for a 2 years old car.
yeah probably they haven't been in an accident or the claim that they make is a result of someone else hitting them. It's hard to say cos so many insurers work differently... all i know is that AAMI is the cheapest of all car insurers if you can get insurance from them...Quote:

this is where they get you... they have really done their homework on this one...
In my experience just cars is only good if u dont have a fast car... ie... u have big rims body kits etc on a small car
hey get ur parents to inusre it fully under thier name... if u have an accident call em and give thier details... and get third party under ur name as a backup...in case the person u have an accident with won't accept ur parents details.
hey TRU: is it possible to buy comprehensive under your parents name and only third party under your own?? hmmm never knew u can do this.
But like type one has said, its true that Justcar will only insure your car for only the market value.
It still amazes me with the amount of P platers driving type Rs and other hi performance vehicles while driving under parents names.
y insure it under ur own name wen u can put it under ur parents tho ... :O
does anyone noe whether if u put a dc2r under ur parents name ... can u stil claim for accidents unda ur age excess (dats on top of the basic excess of ur parents) ..
eg. 400 + 450
i noe HBA n GIO will do it for vtirs (teg or ludes) n im 19 in melb... jus duno bout dc2rs...ta
saves me from gettin a quote if someone noes.. ta
you can get it insured under your parents names thats for sure. They will insure you if you hit and make you pay the age excess, considering that you drive the car less than 10% (even less depending on insurer, u will need to ask how many days a week or fortnight that is). If they find out that you drive more than the allowable they WILL NOT insure your..Whether they find out or not thats entirely up to them to investigate or not. They ask people living around you, you neighbours, the guy down the road, the girl down the block or what not. You really dont know, but if they do and they do happen to find out that you drive it more often than not , then they will reject the claim. And then your left with a hefty bill to repair the other guys damage and yours. But at the end of the day, you dont want to be involved in a smash and if you do, you dont want them to investigate. Its your decision and risk whether to put it under your parents name or not. :D
Sometimes it's better to bite the bullet and pay the bit extra mind you , i set myself a limt when i got insurance and i would not pay anything over $1500
I use to own a wrx rating 1 and that is what i payed when i hit 25. but obviously there are people are more better off than some and are happy to pay 3g or more for a modified or sports car, all you type R owners are paying the same preimum or similar. which make me wonder why you would stick to Type R's when you can own something more faster.
Honda's are great. Type R have never really interested me even when i was in the market for a performance car. guess i'm over it or else i woundn't have got a Jazz for me and my wife for now...next target Euro...that are fab
Did u get the quote from their website or ring dem up? i found their website are not very accurate.. ( jump from $1000 to $1500 on 2 seperate days on da same car)Quote:

i rung up and got 3 quotes... different time saying i purchased the car for a different amount... trying to the the premium down...
in the end i'm paying 1550 / yr
i'm 23 in melb...
shannons quoted me 2700 LOL even if they were to give me 24k payout (amount i got the car for) it wouldnt be fesible for me to pay almost 1.5k extra per year
like my mate who used to pay 2500 on an fto full comp... only drove it to and from work... hardly went out (so pretty much zlich chance of it getting pinched)
did it that way for 5yrs...
now he's just goin by 3rd party
