I don't think they can just change the excess. They would have to wait till you renewal your policy.

Well looks like you'll be moving on.

Maybe its just a North Old thing.

I think mine was 1200 anyway, 500 normal than another 700 for being under 25

Whats an excess?...

just paid mine. usual $600 std excess. maybe they dont like you??

Damo - very interesting. I was on the phone to them for ages yesterday and they said all "high performance" vehicles now attract a minimum $1200 excess. Maybe It's only the B series as they would have had more claims?

couldn't honestly give an explanation why? I might ring them later and ask,I got my renewal a mth ago which is the normal practice...unless they have dreamt this up in the last fortnight? mine as you might know is a mk2 fg. but I cant see why that would make yours dearer than mine? I did however get reamed for an extra $200 odd this year.had a whinge to them and was given the typical bullsh*t so I shopped around,were either dearer or wouldnt touch me because of mods or what it (my car) is.somehow I had the feeling they knew that would happen and low and behold I'd come back. to me they are nothing but a necessary evil and they know it the bastards!

just did a mock quote online,made out I was a new customer, excess is still the same. give it try panda,just use your neighbours addy and see what you get.

I have bumped my excess up to $2200 anyway. Almost halves my premium to $550 per year.

Did the same, then used Coles insurance $100 guarantee to bring it down to $454

Yeah I've opted to max out the excess for my last few renewals. Makes the price more reasonable. Think it was around the $600 mark including optional windscreen cover. I've got one at fault claim in my history, with another insurer...it was 2 weeks after I bought my turbo...oops.

I suppose you drink Pepsi now.. Off the COCA COLA hey???????????

Insurance is over rated. Paid premiums for 15 years with loyds of london with our work insurance to have a $1 million dollar fire and them to say NO. Fukin dogs, paid it out of the companies pocket. Now buisness is self insured.
