D2000 Posted 3July, 2017 Report Share Posted 3July, 2017 Just a note in favour of Porsche Insurance (QBE underwriter). I presently have all my insurances (3 cars, 3 CTPs, house) with GIO. Got the renewal for the 996 and the maximum they will insure for is ridiculously low (and no flexibility to increase in individual cases). Porsche will give me about $12,000 more coverage for the same premium - usage is limited to 8,000km, but that is twice the distance I drove the car last year so shouldn't be a problem.Also found Porsche Insurance rep very pleasant to deal with and very efficient.

Philbee Posted 10July, 2017 Report Share Posted 10July, 2017 Having read some of the recommendations in this thread awhile ago I was conscious my insurance would come up soon. Well now, just got my renewal from shannons last week. $2670 for 2 cars. Ouch!So, on the weekend, went back through this thread to pick up a few of the good tips... And armed with some other insurer names today, I called the first one on my list. Got a quote from Famous today... $1770... I even upped the value of my p-car. Woohoo... winning!!thanks guys! It's cost me 1 phone call to save $900! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cost me 1 phone call to save $900!NIce one!I'm with Famous now, previously Ryno. After my indiscretions... Ryno were still ok with insuring me, but at a pretty high price. Most regular insurers won't touch me (Captain Risky) but Famous were good, low cost, no extra dramas over my license.And...slip em an extra $100 for a day of track cover. Can't beat that!

GUT Posted 12July, 2017 Report Share Posted 12July, 2017 Might have to give Ryno a call.I'm racking up some hefty premiums... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalai Posted 12July, 2017 Report Share Posted 12July, 2017 And...slip em an extra $100 for a day of track cover. Can't beat that!Interested in this. My policy clearly states I'm not covered as soon as the car is on a track and would like to get out and do so in the near future!I went with Porsche Insurance when I bought my car in Feb as the premiums were reasonable and allowed to car to be in a carport. Both Shannons and Lumley stopped the quote process as soon as they knew it wasn't garaged when I first bought it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice option, I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philbee Posted 13July, 2017 Report Share Posted 13July, 2017 Well, today, following from a quote I got earlier this week where I saved 900 with Famous, I just got a quote from Ryno. Same info, saved another few hundred. I think I'm in love...oh btw, ryno doesn't do track day coverage though. Might be a deal breaker for some.

Ryno guy I spoke to today did say they have a 3rd party agent who goes to assess and approve quotes & hardly ever it's rejected. Sales pitch or reality??
