Default Re: Car Insurance

I left shannons and went to enthusiast. Shannons wouldnt get anywhere close to a reasonable value on any of my cars whereas enthusiast straight up offered what i wanted with the option to go higher. I was also getting sick of Shannons wait times on the phone, and had a total joke of an experience with them claiming on the house insurance. Every time I've rang enthusiast ive got an aussie on the other end pretty quickly. I havent claimed with enthusiast so cant speak for that yet, but theres a couple of big downsides with them depending on your circumstances:
Named driver only. If your mate wrecks your car and he's not on the policy, too bad. Very few exemptions on this.
Kilometre limit. You start with a certain amount, i think you can purchase up to 2000km? But if you wreck and youre over theres a big penalty. Seem to recall extra $2k. And if you wreck and your odometer reads less than you told them you started with, no claim.
