Ute Insurance

Got the Suncorp insurance bill for the ute today.  Decided paying over $1k for a 10year old ute did not seem right.

First went online to iselect.com and they aofferred numerous solutions from companies I had never heard of and starting from $834.48

I wondered what a name brand insurer would charge.  Mr google suggested NRMA and after spending 20minutes chatting to Rebecca, she anounced $708.42 or add another $63.50 for windscreen insurance (Not included inthe original Suncorp insurance).

The next ovious question was "what is a 10 year old tray back ute actually worth"?.  See below but it looks to me like about $7k



What the .....SUNCORP New Policy?
I got on to the Suncorp web site and entered the data for a new policy
So I guess they know something I don't about me.
I even admitted to the kangaroo incident.

A long phone call established that business vs personal and $500 vs $600 excess were part o the reason.
