Insurance

Numerous people using Aust 4wd insurance.. but when I got a quote for my GQ, they were double what the others were. As for claims, I think they are all the same. You will struggle like an epileptic in quicksand to get money out of them as you are finding. Fine print that the Hubble cant pickup or Einstein cant understand.

Give Brian Holland of Hollands Insurance Brokers in Mt Martha Vic a call. He is a Nissan club member, and deals with many club members helping them out. Nice bloke too. PH: 97752355 Have a word to him, it can't hurt.

I went with Unique Car Insurance. They werent the cheapest, and shaft you also on accessories. You need an independant valuation on accessories over $4k, which in reality isnt hard to get to!

TCIS wont do any suspension lifts anymore.

RACV who knows, they came to our club giving a speil on how they wanted the "HELP 4WDERS" with insurance, but havent heard much since - that was about 12 mths ago. Might ask next meeting to see where they are with it.

Also give the 4wd association a call. they have an insurance Officer that maybe able to give you some tips, and ideas.

Good luck dude.

Do a search on Aust 4WD and CGU in the archives. I had major problems with them after they took my money I went to make a claim after 5 years of being with them and they told me that they had no record of me even being with them in the first place. they cashed my cheques for 5 years.

Also do not touch ARB or BRA or whatever they call themselves these days as they are bodgey when trying to claim too.

Do a search and all will be revealed

Barry, you should also post your story on outerlimits, overlander, 4wdmthly, 80scool, 4wd_out_of_melbourne/brisbane/tassy, perth, adelaide, and every other forum you can find.

Then inform them that you are keeping about 30,000 other 4wders in the loop as to how your claim is going.. Treat them likebleep, as they are to you..
