Rang these guys today about insurance and was really impressed with what they had to say. Reasonable price, great customer service. Just though this was worth posting.

Always a good thing to give Shannons a wrap. they are number one
in the game for a reason!

Glad to hear

They also do House and Content Insurance Now I cant wait till they to Green Slips

Yep good service and very good prices. I was able to comprehensively insure my Mk 1 S, Mini K race car (both agreed values) and V8 Commodore (market value) for about $30 a month more than it was costing me just for the V8 Commodore with someone else!! Great value from my point of view.

I rang them.. and they told me that they didn't insure anyone under 19.. which I later found out wasn't true. So I then rang them back and talked to someone else who said they do. But then wouldn't insure my car because it didn't have a 3point imobiliser and alarm. Then rang back later and found I didn't actually need this to get it insured, they gave me a quote. But I found better else where. The employees seem to just decide what the policies are as the wish. No offence czerial I know you used to work there, I'm sure you were fine.. I just found the customer serice a bit.. useless.



And I then went and talked to them all individually and none of them knew what was going on.. So yes.

i must admit you do get that with everyone. must be your area....

No offence taken mate. That sounds like very bad service. On the whole they are very good though. And the immobiliser story depends on where the car is kept blah blah blah a lot of reasons and sometimes up to the discression of theunderwriter. A shannons staff mamember on the whole knows a WHOLE lot more about insurance, your car than any other insurance company IMO

prices people?

I must say whilst I have been useing shannons whith all my modified cars for over 10years. They bumped up my premium by 40% (reduced my no claim) after I made the first claim I ever made in my life on any policy (I'm 38) when I had an acident with a roo in my 92 rover. I was very happy with the repairs but $1200pa does not warrent me keeping the car as a daily driver.
Shannons said they do not offer a "modern classic" policy so its no cheaper if im not useing it all the time. However Vigil have Quoted me an ocasional use policy of 500ish/pa for ocasional use. The deiference pays rego & 3rd pary property on a cheap clubbie.
I used to think shannons where great now I'm not as happy now. Whith less money in the pocket.
My 120000c worth.

I found them to be great... i am 24... they were happy to do full cover on my clubman.. agreed value.. they just wanted pics of the car cause it had not been insured for years.. after they got the pics the guy rang me.. gave me scrapping rights on the car and it all ended up cheeped than the original quote..

My dad has his vette and mums holden with them 2..

$100 to insure my Cooper S for $20,000

$320 to insure our daily driver clubman for $7500

$1100 to insure our TURBO 4WD Galant VR4 for $17,000

$300 to insure my Ford Econovan truck for $6,000 Even with the V6 commodore engine conversion

The can't insure my 1997 Isuzu truck, bummer
