Hi Ozbargainers,
Our 2013 BMW X5 comprehensive car insurance is up for renewal again and I was shocked to see the premium went up by almost $400 with Allianz! They were by far the cheapest last year at just under $1,000. I’m not sure why car insurance premiums go up every year when cars are such a depreciating asset!
I have done some quotations with other insurers and they have come out to be:
Budget Direct - $1209
Coles - $1394
Woolworths - $1746
Progressive - $2060
Bingle - $1024 (the cheapest but I’m not sure if I want to go with them being only online….)
Dodo - $1138 (and a free tablet!)
Australia Post - $1127
Virgin - $1178
The main driver is 35 and we expect to drive around 6000kms per year.
Any other recommendations of insurers that I should try?
NRMA, CGU, GIO, AAMI, QBE, Youi (but you can't get a quote online, you leave your number and they call you back). I ended up with Bingle, they won Canstar cheap car insurer of the year, working online is fine most companies you do it all online now anyway. I made a claim in February for hail damage and Woolworths were great (as were Coles with my husbands car) but for my sons car neither were competitive.
