I just think its funny/sneaky how you get your insurance policy in the mail, go online with the same company and get an even cheaper quote for doing it online!!
my policy is with coles, $331, but just did it online and down to $275!! so DOWN DOWN prices are…
so always worth renewing online rather than phoning up people! love saving money. Just wish my rego wasn’t over $600!!

  • Ok confused coles must of put prices up! Re did it online and it was more expensive! Just payed the $331. I tried wollies as it says it will beat the quote by $100 and they couldn’t match it. So happy with my price

  • rego is such a killer, over $1000 in Canberra including CTP hurts every time it comes around

  • Rego is shockingly expensive. Just shows it pays to check up and research

  • My hubby just got a new car and rang our insurance company to delete the old car and put on the new one, also he changed our address on our policy while he was talking to them (two birds one stone). He got off the phone and sighed then started to tell me what our new monthly insurance was going the be and surprisingly in had gone down significantly and the reason was because the new car is seen by our insurance company as a safer car!. I said to hubby quick we had better replace my old car with a newer safer model and reduce our insurance some more!

  • Speaking of rego…if you change your green slip to Suncorp it will cost you the same price as it is standard but they will give you a $50 gift card so are $50 better off….no catch!

  • Very true. There is no such thing as rewarding customer loyalty when it comes to insurance companies.

  • I wish they would reward long term customers! They should be sending existing customers deals to get us to stay – same with the telcos, Foxtel etc instead of us having to chase up a deal.

  • I always compare insurances and I found it yet cheaper again and the excess is a lot cheaper as well

  • I only get insurance on line now.. you just can’t get the same prices on the phone yet the policies are the same


    • I have been able to get them to price match. I have very politely asked them to explain the difference and then they have price matched.

  • I would get them to price match and also explain the reason for the difference?

  • Every year, I find my car insurance goes up and so I often end up changing companies. Can’t say I’ve ever noticed a difference between online and phone quotes.

    Reply

  • Yeah, but eventually that’ll result in them having no staff when you need to talk to someone.

  • Wow thanks im also with coles and my home insurance had gone up $15 a month think i might try online and see if it comes out cheaper.

  • This is so wrong, just got our car rego on Friday so I am trying this on Monday, even if they match it I am going to reconsider as if they are prepared to rip you off to start with then they are prepared to rip you off at any time, I always work on the premise of best quote first time, I hate it when shops say this is the price but if you get a better one we will beat it, well beat it to start with and stop me having to stuff around!! congratulations on saving your hard earned money. worth the phone call.


    • rego in wa is through the government, you cant get a cheaper deal
