I have been with RACV insurance for over 30 years. This is the first time I used an online comparison tool to find out what are available out there. For the same comprehensive coverage, I found two insurance providers to be cheaper. But I have never heard of those two companies.
1) Carpeesh - premium is $200 cheaper, but excess per claim costs $100 more
2) Eric - premium is $70 cheaper, but excess per claim costs $300 more
Are Carpeesh and Eric good to deal with in a claim? Is it worthwhile to make the switch?
Is there a good and cheaper insurance provider you would recommend?
Thanks!

DO your own research. Start with big reputable companies IMO, (AAmi, Allianz, GIO, NRMA etc etc)
Those comparison sites are in it for themselves so are you really getting what's best for you?
Odds are some of these smaller ones are just marketing names using a bigger under writer?
And, something you can't test until it happens - how are these small companies going to handle a claim with their one person in the call centre? RACV are likely always more expensive but have a reasonable track record with claims.
