How did your car insurance renewal go recently?

Must admit I ducked the loyalty tax hike this time around with the fourby and found even cheaper than I was paying with AAMI-

So much for the AAMI hoojah about my discount for being a platinum old fart or some such although no young punk under 30 is covered with Budgetdirect now or they're stealing it anyway.

Interestingly the stats put a $690 average extra hit on EV over ICE and some insurers are bailing out of EV cover altogether although to some extent that's 'computer on wheels' taxation as the article notes with costly repair prices.

My limited use (1000 km year) agreed value policy with Shannons with roadside assist ($60) included went from $621 to $840 over the past 2 years.

Now with Enthusiast Motor Insurance for $325 per annum, but no roadside assist yet.

I would have just accepted "because they can"....

Prices went through the roof here in NZ too

so a weird one for us.

1) we no longer live in the big smoke - left the Blue Mountains and now reside in sunny Yarralin in the NT

2) we've been with NRMA since... *forever*. But after the way they ****ed us (without lube) on the garage flooding. I've been keen to move on anyway.

3) we recently bought a 2018, GXL 78 series Troopy. And living where we are, and planning an Oombulgurri trip in late July... we thought we'd talk to Club 4x4 for "remote cover".

The insurance is well priced.  (I think)

So I thought I'd get a quote on the 105 cruiser as well and it's about 1/2 what we've been paying NRMA...
