bingle dont allow modifications.

I cannot stress this enough, if you have non-written modifications and the insurance company *believes* they attributed to an accident (read- aftermarket rims, suspension etc) you run the risk of getting a $0 cheque.

furthermore, if you have any non RWC modifications, youll get the lovely $0 cheque unless you get lucky and a peanut checks your car.

I might as well just go third party come to think of it.

I would not be too worried about a $0 cheque, the other party wanting their money is way more scary.
Shannons $712 is my choice. Ive claimed with Aami, qbe, suncorp, nrma and shannons. Shannons experience was the least stressful, best repair etc

My insurance just went down to $650 with RACV for full comp, winning!
thats including lowering, 18" wheels and $1-1.5k worth of sound system (that i dont have anymore)
think its like a $500-600 excess + an age one of $750 because im under 25

I might look into Shannons then. Are they the best for 'modified' cars? What exactly IS a modification according to an insurance company? As far as I know, everything on my car is 'legal', so what is a 'modification'?

[kendog]

Quote from Shannons was $1555 !!

[leighaus]

shannons generally hate younger drivers. Have also read some horror stories from them on NS.com in relation to unfairly black flagging people after an accident claim.

Hmmm. But I'm 35! No accidents, no claims, wrote myself as youngest driver, ...??

[JustCruisn]

Mods are any changes to the car...
Things that are likely to affect the chance of an accident: wheels, suspension, exhaust, tune.
Things you want them to fix/replace is broken/stolen (affect the value): tints, body kits, sound systems, towbars, roof racks etc...
