drstu Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Hi All, We'll be living in QLD from next week. Any recommendations about which car insurance company to go with? I hear that they will accept a UK no claims bonus? Best wishes, Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungo Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Compare the Meerkat! [emoji1303] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Have the main insurers in Australia signed up to that yet? Only when I was living there (and working in that industry), the two main Australian insurers - that have 80% market share between them - both refused to participate with comparthemarket. So unless something has changed, OP would be seriously limiting options by searching on compare the meerkat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eera Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I've got a good mate who's a panelbeater and he's always had issues having to store or dispose of cars from people who have had insurers who refuse to pay out, so they can't afford to fix the car, and they can't fight the insurer either. the main culprits are the cheaper end of the market. Personally I use Suncorp and Aami; they cost a bit more but they don't argue and fight you either (in my experience). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srh82 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 NRMA are good. They gave me 60% no claims discount due to my age and how long I've held my driving license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicF Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I haven't used them for car insurance but Woolworths were excellent when we had to claim on our buildings insurance. Avoid CommInsure like the plague - we had issues with them when trying to claim for home contents and I know several others that have found them a nightmare when making a claim as well. A colleague of mine had car insurance with Youi and had issues when claiming. I've heard good things about SGIC. Our car insurance is currently with Coles because they were offering to beat our renewal quote (which was cheaper than quotes I got from lots of other places) by $50. Just hoping we don't have to find out what they are like when making a claim. No idea about the no claims bonus though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
