I'm not sure - did you try looking in the insurance section? Also, that's where this thread needs to go... mods?

They do, depending on age and driving experience. If you are under 25 though, forget about it. Go to Just car, or one of those other specialist insurers.

Doesnt seem to matter if you're over 25 - NRMA were hugely expensive for me compared to others!!!!!

Thats probably why most people with fto's dont go to nrma, and prefer specialist insurers. NRMA is a rip off.

Here's why I didnt go NRMA (I am over 25 btw- no accidents or anything)

NRMA Quote $4500
Shannons $1700 (they were surprised I thought they were expensive)
Famous $1400
Dawes $900

I'll leave it up to you to guess who I went with :lol:

I got a price from Dawes last year to cover $20'000 on the car
for $1040 for the year :D
NRMA was $3'500 aprox for the year :evil:
so I would go with Dawes one of the best I have seen so far ;)
and a big thanks to Teania for telling me about them :twisted:

My full comp with just car this year would be $8500. How do they justify that when the car is insurered for 12 grand ?
