Called about a dozen insurers last month to see whos policies and premiums impressed me the most. Was with Just Cars. Details:
Agreed value - $16000
Age - 23
Rating / NCB - 1 / 60%
Postcode - 6030
Mods - None
Just Car had quoted $1080 with the usual killer excesses. Best premium I found was with HBF for $650!! No one else came close. Policy seems great too. Any unnamed driver is still covered for $500 excess, one free windscreen per year, monthly direct debits, other excesses are low too.
The premium was reduced because of a $200 voluntary excess I chose to have. A lot of people dont know about this. Most insurers allow to to have a voluntary excess, the higher you make this excess, the lower your annual premium. Of course, when you need to make a claim the voluntary excess needs to be paid. $250 seemed to provide the best value. Check them out.

God.. makes me jealous that you guys can get as low as $1080 when your under 25, I wish I could even get down to double that amount (means I'd pay $2160 in a second without a thought cos that't be cheap for me)
HBF only do WA? or do they cover nsw too?

Hey guys thanks for this one,
best insurance price i found as well,
But one thing to check is with your 60% no claim bonus
you have to have been named as a driver for 5 years and not had an accident, if they find this to be false then they can refuse to pay on the policy.
As I have not been driving for 6 years i couldnt get the 60% discount, but i was still eligable for the 30%
so my premiums came out at $1889.8 P/A
which i thought was really good for an 18k car
I had a quote from just car, and they would only insure it for 12k and their premiums were over 2k and minium excess was over 1k
so all in all i think its a good deal.

I pay $860 with value of $19900 and excess of $500.
The only limits I have is I can't drive it over 8000k's a year.

I didn't get the car though as the condition wasn't as good as I expected so still looking for one and got more time to shop around for insurance too.
