Insurance - Superb Elegance Wagon

[rapidattack]

Hey,

Pick up my new Wagon next week and have been looking at insurance premiums, ooh my they are dear!
Living in Wollongong with lock up garage, over 30 with perfect record.....cant get it under $1300.

Any ideas/suggestions about Skoda and insurance.

When I spoke with Allianz they didn't know what Skoda was! Oh oh!

Geeeeez, that a bit much.

Didn't happen to buy the Superb recently did you? You might qualify for their 1 year free insurance if you did, I missed out because I am under 25! (by 4 months ).

That sounds way over the top to me but I guess it's NSW pricing.
There was an insurance thread a couple of weeks ago it may be worth checking it out.
My Octavia VRS in Vic is around $600.00 (I think just under but I would have to check).

I am having a similar issue on quotes. I suppose I should point out that I want agreed value, full comprehensive and all the bells and whistles in a policy. My car is coming with all the options attached and more pushing up the price. All my recent quotes have been around the $1100 mark with a clean record and 40 yr old male. I thought I had stumbled onto something good in Budget but on closer inspection it was only for market value. Some suggestions would also be appreciated. I have checked out Youi, budget, Just Car Insurance, i-select (which so far has been the most promising- although Youi said they would match another quote), Allianz, RACV, Doors and AAMI. When I was checking about 2 months ago the policies were all around the $800-900 mark but have now shot up about $200. Are they trying to re-coupe their losses from the hail damage policies? Either way there is an obvious increase. Some good insurance company suggestions would be highly appreciated.

GIO tend to have lower online quotes, and they give you a discount if you do it online too.

i-select (which so far has been the most promising- although Youi said they would match another quote),

I-Select is not an insurance company they are effectively just a broker and may well be getting pricing at a different level from some of the companies that you have apparoached directly.

All I can say is just look at every insurance company via their online sites. I am with AAMI (Comprehensive) and when I had a 2004 V8 Landcruiser I saved about $350 ($950 - $600)from their phone quote to their internet quote. I had that insurance for a year and when I got the renewal, I punched the exact same details they had for me on the renewal notice back into their online site and saved another $55! I cancelled my renewal and just bought it again.

Yeah, I know they are only a brokerage but the two unknown insurance companies they put forward were around $900 for everything. Need to stll take a good look at their PDS though.

I was going to do the same thing, they quoted me quite a bit less for insurance when I was looking at quotes. The major downside was the fact that they wouldn't offer choice of repairer and I think only 1 offered a new car replacement for 24 months.

We just signed today, pick up Wednesday, for a Superb sedan and was offered 12 months free insurance through Allianz and the Skoda dealership. Depending on the time when you signed etc you may be eligible ask through the dealership as they can write Allianz deals themselves. I have had VW Allianz insurance on my two VW's new for old for 3 years and only about $550/annum. I'm in my 40's but that price is way over the top.

[Ozsko]

Allianz has mine insured so they definitely know what it is.

Even my V6 Superb was cheaper than that at $1032 with the NRMA, and that was that high due to a small bingle in my Jeep just before i bought the Octavia. 5yrs on claims etc..
Im surprised at that cost.

Im picking up a Skoda today - and It comes with free comp. insurance for a year - I think this offer runs to around 22nd Feb and has been running all Jan.

It's not that good insurance (at least for us) despite it is through the Allianz, check my post in other thread. http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/f86/...nce-54305.html
