I was considering this company when I got the car last year, but heard bad things about them from a former employee, who left for ethical reasons.Originally Posted by markTHEblake
So what did he do about it - burn his bra?Originally Posted by AndyP
Fact is in a large company, there are always disgruntled employees, and not all decisions are PC.
When was the last time you had a Nestle product, or filled the car with Shell petrolium?
(Lucky?) I'm with AAMI, i think they are cheaper than most and i've found them relatively easy to deal with, unlike most other insurance companies.

Agree with Fishy on that one - they were the cheapest for living in a rough-ish part of Sydney - and the service has always been excellent.Originally Posted by Fishman Dan
We had car insurance through Budget Direct when we lived in Sydney in 2002/2003 (Marsfield - near Epping). They were the only ones to come in under $1000 p.a. for our 95 holden Nova. Who knows what they'd have been like if we needed to claim....Originally Posted by Fishman Dan
Once we moved back to Vegas, we found plenty of companies around the same price. Budget Direct's premium didn't change much.. Went with AAMI. $500 or so p.a.
In summary, she didn't like their "internal" policy of not paying claims.Originally Posted by Fishman Dan
I havent got an AAMI quote yet on cars, but they blew everyone away on my house insurance.
The one thing that annoyed me about Budget Direct is that i cancelled a $130pa policy 4 weeks before expiry. They charged me $30 to cancel, off set by about a $5 pro rata refund. I blew my stack at them, but gave me the T&C thing. My complaint however was directed at the operator not telling me this before he hit the cancel button, cos the obvious thing he should have said was to just let the policy lapse instead.
Looking forward to shopping around at renewal time this year, but i doubt they can be beaten on price.
Blakey - i guess at their prices you don't get Customer Service
AP - If all insurance companies did was pay claims, their share price would drop, investors would depart, and they would fold But i understand where that sentiment comes from, these days when you make a claim you really have to convince your insurer that it's not some sort of rort.

It's going to cost me $1,500pa to insure my Mazda3 SP23 which isn't as bad as I thought it may be. Should have the new wheels in a few weeksOriginally Posted by markTHEblake

I have a Mazda 3 Neo (2 months old) and it only costs me around $300 in insurance. Drunken must have only just turned old enough to get his licence to have to pay that sort of premium!
yess....20 year old male with an at fault accident in the last three years...
Another 5 years before I can get insurance remotely near $500
RIP 1984-2006
Mazda 3 SP23 sedan in Winning Blue comng my way...Either a week or two months depending on if they can source one from another dealer. Otherwise I'll have to wait for one that's being built in Japan as we speak....

Very nice, same colour as mine...
I'll dredge this one back up!
2005 Ford Falcon BA MKII XL Ute.
Vibe in colour.
As new-
After a kangaroo strike up north, I decided to fit some decent frontal protection. Was going to settle on a nudgebar, but I soon canned that idea.
Nothing Ford sold offered anywhere near enough protection, so I got one made in Toowoomba.

And here's the in-laws old GT.
1974 XB GT Coupe.
385HP, Matching Numbers, 4 Speed Manual.
Was sold 12 months ago, and replaced with a '63 Thunderbird.

We've got a few 2007 Lo-Lux dual cabs at work.
Good car, but they seem to do far too much soil-testing with their sump guards.
The front end seems to spend a lot of time on the bump-stops.
And as they're a fleet vehicle, they'd rather replace a sump or gearbox than fit some decent shockies/springs.
