I just called up Just Car Insurance and requested to know how much it would add to the cost of my insurance policy premium if I were too boost it.

She asked me how much the S/c kit was worth, I told her $4000.

Taps the keyboard multiple times, and comes back with a reply of......












.........$9.00

Yes the decimal point is in the right spot. hahahaha $9. Then she goes, we wouldn't even charge you for it, we'd just add it to your policy to state it was supercharged.

She then asked if I need to change the ECU though. I said not yet, but at a later date when I run 9psi, yes. I told her the value, $2000, and she tapped away on the keyboard again, and said, it'd be an extra....













..........$14.00



And again she said they wouldn't even bother to charge me, just update my policy.

Sounds like a good deal? hahahaha

I wonder if they knew what a super charger is, have you tried claiming from them before are they strict?

Never made any claims in the past for anything.

I got mine from Bingle.. full comp at just over a grand. agreed value 39k

^^ thing with bingle is that everything is done online?? you dont actually speak to anyone? so what happens if you need to make a claim? how long would it take? do you know anyone with bingle thats had to make a claim? their prices are very cheap but there will be trade off's.

btw Ludecrs- how much is your car insured for?

It says in the quote man, $35,900.

woops my bad. didnt see that part.

I'm getting quotes for a 99 S2000 insured for $30,000.
Age 24, turning 25 next month. No claims before. Post code 2166.

Just car: $2200
AAMI: $10,950
NRMA: $10,420
Bingle: $2820
Shannons: S2000 does not exist in their list of cars - online quote.

Currently Just Car is by far the better one.

I've used Just cars before as an insurer, they seem alright. But I have not made any claims so I don't really have a verdict in that category.

Any other recommendations?

Probably better waiting a month til your 25 and trying the others then?

hmm...one thing I found out the other day is that in Vic, CTP is included in our rego, in NSW the rego is half the price it is here as CTP is included in the insurance premiums for people residing in NSW. So this means that in NSW the prices will be slightly higher as the premium has CTP included.

Not sure about other states...

and Shannons does insure the s2k, you need to call them.

btw, Just cars and Shannons are under AAMI...JCI is alright, they use AAMI approved repairers but they don't have any perks like discounts from car rental etc, or free windscreen replacement etc.

soo still waiting on a review for bingle insurance
