I am interested in hearing from anyone with regards to who they have insurance with,especially with vehicles with over 50mm lift in
suspension.My policy is due and i was doing a little research and wondering who covers for vehicles with this kind of lift.Just about everyone will cover you for under 50mm but not over.
Many thanks

Try Aust 4wd insurance by DGA or Unquie car Insurance. Though i'm with Just 4 cars, but am going to get a quote from these before I renew.

Hi Don
I go through a mob called TCIS their claim to fame is unlimited mods unlimited accessories. I have never had to claim through them but found them very good to deal with. They know what you are talking about when you say you have Polly air bags or air lockers, no questions like what do you use that for and stuff like that
Good luck

Troll 81,
Did you manage to get a quote from DGA insurance as
well.Who did you find cheaper.Is tcis a good company to deal with and are they competetive in your opinion.
Thanks
Don

Hi Don
From what I have seen yes they are right up there. They only deal with 4x4....but I have not yet claimed through them. I am under 25 and most
places would not touch my car because of all the gear and crap on....when I phoned around for quotes I got very frustrated...when we get down to the accessories and mods parts...I will go through the list...I have a UHF...and it will be like, what is a UHF and what does it do....the same went for allot of the other stuff. TCIS knew exactly what I was talking about. I pay around $890 a year but that is purely due to my age I think

Hi
Laura B,
50mm is the equivalent of 2".
We were also with NRMA however have just changed over to Western QBE, after pricing around found that NRMA were far more expensive than any other company I contacted, around $275 per year more than our new policy.

My biggest drama is when you let them know all about your accessories and modifications as soon as you mention your vehicle is about 4 inches high they say "Sorry we can't insure you".Can be very frustrating.

We are with Allianz, and have a 2" lift, they don't have problems with that, or at least they didn't when I told them, haven't had a claim though! - Jo

My understanding is that anything over a 50mm lift is an underwriting problem. Not necessarily related to the insurer themselves and this potentially affects all companies.
Insurance companies will have a large part of their insurance book underwriter by re-insurers to limit their own liability. One of the stipulations of re-insurers is they won't do anything above 50mm, therefore insurance companies won't either.
