runslikeafish Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Hi all, I am trying to do a fake monthly budget and have been able to estimate most costs but am struggling with house and car insurance. It is proving difficult for me to get an online quote for just a random ficticious house/car. Are these costs broadly similar to the UK? We're planning on living somewhere around Hobart and will buy a cheap and cheerful car to start off with. I appreciate that this will vary wildly but for full (UK) no claims bonus and a cheap (say $2000) smallish car and a $450,000 modern house in Kingston say just as an example how much can I roughly expect to pay a month/year? Is it $50 a year or $500 or $5000? Much appreciated!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runslikeafish Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Awesome thanks Susie! That's not too bad for the total cost of car and house/contents insurance. Hope all's well there - we're hoping to be arriving in Tassie in November. Can't wait!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
