that's why it comes to the fact where AAMI just tried to fob it off as my sis fault, thus why my sister refused to go back with aami.

That's the key bit there, the other person was in a turn right only lane and went straight.

I am also with AAMI and lowred my Euro without having to pay extra. If they know about it they are fine.

AAMI just increased my premium for this year! from 780 to 929! I don't even know what for :S, shopping for quotes has all car insurance premiums increased or something?!

Just got a quote from JustCar.. around 2.5k per year with $500 excess. With bodykit, rims and coilovers.
Anyone with Just Car?

I pay $542/year with the AAMI flexi premium of $2k. Otherwise it was $1k with a $600 excess.

The drastic price range might be caused by increase in claims in your general area, overall cost of insurance has risen (i.e. government taxes and stamp duty and rise of cost to do business), increase of claims involving your type of car or your age, recooping cost from major disasters, depending on your age and gender there are fluctuations in pricing index. This is assuming that all else has stayed the same like your garage location, claim history and also licencing history.

Keep inmind that AAMI is apart of suncorp and includes brands like Suncorp and GIO which took a major beatting over the last 6mths with 2 major floods in qld, 1 major flood in northen nsw, bushfires in VIC and a few hale storms in the mix, so this would have a dramatic effect on the insurance industry in general.

Hey,

I'm just about to put a CAI on my euro today so i decided to call AAMI first, so when they asked for a modification, i told them, but the closest option was an 'air filter modification'....which i guess it is. The lady on the phone said, as long as its approved by qld transport, it was fine. I went onto the website and downloaded the modifications brochure and it said nothing about intake systems. However, it said under 'minor modifications' stuff like exhaust, lowering, headers, etc etc. I then went and downloaded a 'motor vehicle modification application' and the only options are 'chassis/frame/body', suspension, axles, brakes, steering, etc etc.

So my question is, what did you guys insure it as, and does this 'modification' need approval?

Thanks

I also read "Many minor modifications can be carried out without obtaining written approval. Details of these modifications are outlined in section one of the booklet." Would this mean, i need not get any approval at all? The only issue is it wasn't listed there a a modification.....but those mods included exhausts. So I should be right in assuming it wont need approval right?

In the boxes that you need to tick should be under 'Intake' and a CAI is illegal since it is a pod therefore AAMI wouldn't cover you if anything happens.

But my cousin still got covered when his celica got write-off and he had a exposed SRI and never mentioned to AAMI.
