Always get the name of the person you get a quote from and insist on talking to them when/if you call the same company. I have often found that you would get different quotes from the same company for the same car, best way to ensure your not stooged is to keep track of who you talk to and only speak to the person who gave you the better quote within that company.
My first year I went with a QLD company called Insurance Brokers of Australia but dumped them on the second year - When my renewal notice came they gave my car less than market value as well as wanting more than what I paid on the previous year for comprehensive - even with my increased no claim bonus. I rang them up to see if it was a mistake. It wasn't.
Im now with Shannons, they quoted me over $1K less than above company and have a more realistic street value.
I dont think much of Young and Cool. I have had my MR2 GT for two years now and I am over 25. I found Young and Cool to be one of the most expensive, all their quotes were ridiculous (like over 5K for comprehensive) and I did get quotes from them when I bought my car and more recently when shopping around for my 2nd year of comprehensive.
Just Cars - too expensive .
Best advice is to strike up a convo with whom ever you talk to on the phone when getting a quote. I did with the bloke at Shannons and I got a good price, I found out later that the bloke I was talking to gave me a higher no claim bonus than what I was entitled to, yet they stuck with the price after I advised them. Nice people at Shannons.
