ey guys,
i wanted to get a dc2r, im 18 and ive called up insurance companies to get quotes....
aami - no insurance
racv- nominated driver 3400
just cars- 4000
gio- no insurance
shannons - no insurance
and yeh... thats about it for now so u know of any other insurance companies that are cheaper than this...
whack it under you parents name or wait a bit
have you tried going thru a broker?
or if you are game, try going to a honda dealer and using their easycover insurance (underwritten by swann)
currently i am looking at insurance myself, try http://motorinsurance.com.au/car.html, they had the cheapest quote for me so far
good luck
Any of you know in particular which companies offer pay by the month?
gio. nrma. ummm
most companies allow pay by the monthQuote:

my dc2r is insured under parents name too...rating one for life 680 dollars ayear full comp.
oh btw it is illegal to drive a type R on your P plates in Melbourne. Considering you are in melbourne. Just something for u to think about and take the risk doin. I have a few friends hat have been done for power to weight ratio in melbourne.
man spermzy you lucky insured under parents sigh =(.. i goto fork out 1.4g a year for my vtir full comp . but im rating 2 ^_^ sweet. btw not 25 yet almost though and word of warning people about been nominated as secondary driver. if you are planning to get your mum of dad to nominate you as secondary driver dont bother. you might as well insure it under your name because why the minute they know the secondary driver is under 25 the premium rockets up. you would pay the same price as if you were insuring it under your own name as it would be if you insured it under your parents name and put you as a secondary driver.
since your 18 i dont know if many insurance companies will let you insure it . but im betting for those that let you insure it under your parents and you for secondary will most likely let you insure it under your own name too. it will cost about the same. and you get to start working on bringing your rating up. you might start off as a rating 6 or somthing but over the years as you drive more and dont get into accidents you will pull your own rating up. so maybee get rating 1 or so when you are 25.
but u can also insure it under your parents name but dont mention your secondary =P. cheaper insurance =P. *COUGH COUGH*
I am with RAA in Adelaide (same as NRMA and RACV) at 22 I have Rating1 full comp and I pay $790.00 for my typeR
if you're 18 the only thing I could suggest is get it in your parents name and you as a nominated driver, I dont think you'll have much luck getting it in your own name.
Just Car would be your best bet. Get it under your parents name with you as second driver and the good thing is that just car allows mods, so if do have an accident your still covered.
i should be getting my vtir on friday, i am paying $3129 with justcar. no one else would insure me apart from racv, for $4200 or something....
remember with justcar u can have unlimited mods, as long as they are LEGAL, so make sure that everything on ure car is legal if u are going to mod...this is the hard bit
Plus itr_112, as the itr is an over powered vehicle in Victoria, which means in victoria you probably wont be covered no matter what if u are on ure P's as there is always a clause in insurance policies that says insurance will not cover you if you are not licenced to drive the car. (ie, its an OPV so u are not legally licenced to drive it)
RACV and Just cars are the go. RACV has unlimited mods to but its 5 dollars per mod. Racv quoted me 3000+ and 1.8 to 2k under dads name with second driver. Most of the other companys wont insure you coz you're under 25. Best bet is Get your dad or mum to insure the car and dont mention a second driver.
I do the same thing, mines $670 a year:pQuote:

whats a broker?
if im not a nominated driver they said they wont pay if i have an accident or something like that? coz im under 25 or sumthing...
racv is 3400 as nominated driver whereas if i do it myself its 5400 haha
and they also said ratings is how many years youve been driving, i thought it was how many years uve had insurance....
sp3rmz how old are u? if u have an accident r they gonna pay 4 ur car? urs is japspec ye?
is the honda insurance cheap?
a broker is someone whos job it is to find financial products for you e.g insurance. they do the legwork and they get a cut as well. sometimes worth your whileQuote:

Honda insurance is underwritten by Swann, which is part of IAG. NRMA also is part of IAG. what i don't understand is that 2 different companies can charge different premiums yet it's the same parent company?!?!?!?
when i was with Honda Insurance i found them to be okay, as part of the policy they also have 14 day car hire if you have an accident etc (which i used)
Here the go I am 20, By law in Melbourne i am not able to drive a honda integra type R of any type. I own a AUSDM. By me sayin gettin ur car insured under ur parents name they are responsible of the car. If you crash the car and admit to it obviously you do not get your car insured. If there are no police involved and no witness and its your fault just give your dads details and said he crashed it. Although its insurance fraud majoirty of the people do it. Its up to you if u want to take the risk or not. In the end you shouldnt buy a car you can not afford insruance for thats the buttom line. ALso it is against the law to be driving one also. Why not wait till u get ur ps. No cop hassles also no insurance hassles.
I forgot to add your last options. 3rd party neally everyone will insure you under third party and you get your own rating to. Although i do not advise this. As Australian statistic stands all P platers will crash their cars at least under their Ps. It is a true fact although we all think we're heros and a the best drivers.
i think that is one of the most intelligent posts i have seen so far :DQuote:

Why must you point out its the most intelligent thing you've heard, then at the same time have to point out my spelling error :thumbdwn:
Truth is I orginally was planning to buy a My00 WRX. Only reason why I did not purchase one was insurance. P platers + WRX just dont happen and if does asking for a very very very large sum from just cars. Unless you want third party. So I ended up with a type R which I must say the best car ever :D
no offence manQuote:

i mean, you can't stay on your parents insurance forever or whatever it is. eventually you will have to go out and get your own insurance and you will start from no NCB at all (? - is this true? i'm sure people will jump on me if it isn't :D )
at the end of the day, i guess you can do what you like. but if you're upfront about it with insurance then if anything happens, expect it to be solved with relatively no fuss.
Agreed.
I am pay approximatly 3200 a year for my integra turbo fully covered, under whats called a modifyed policy which means i can do what ever i like to the car as long as i tell them,and update what gear on the car i want insured.....
what does NCB mean? doesnt it just matter on the number of years youve had your license n accidents...? can different insurance companies chek up on your history?
FAR OUT MUGEN BOY. That sounds like a wicked plan (well kinda, price is kinda high). I'm assuming ur not from melbourne. Neva heard of such plains down here.
