Shannons Insurace

[RG]

I just rang up for a quote on insurance from Shannons as I realised that I never called RACV to let them know of my mods and that they wouldn't really play ball anyway, bad me! Shannons were extremely helpful and their range of payment options is far better than anyone else offers. But the best thing is that they have agreed to insure my XR for 25k with all mods listed for only $880 a year or in my case $440 every 6 months. They were a bit reluctant at first since I don't have a garage but the fact that I live on the outskirts of town went my way. Probably a pointless thread but since Shannons are a site sponsor and I'm happy with what they have offered me I thought I'd make it anyway.

Shannons dont want me because im under 25 :(

I switched to Shannons a little while back. I found them to be fair on price and especially fair on the agreed value. And the option of monthly payments straight up was a big help to me.

Wasn't a problem that I don't have a garage and they're ok with where the car is parked. I'm happy with them.

That should not be the issue. Have you lost your liscence or been caught with bad driving record. Different state vary too!

Shannon insure both of my V8 and i had a bit of a driving record and that was when i was 21. 2 years later i'm still happy!

[mcnamg]

shannons insured me under 25 no problems was a bit steep with the loading due to age but imported car with turbo = no other insurer with a decent policy will touch you with a barge pole

[FPV8U]

Would they look at under 21's?

Im doing a bit of a call around on insurance tommorow, might have another look at them.

[RG]

He he I just realised that I misspelled insurance in the thread title. Shannons also wouldn't touch me when I was under 25 on neither the XR or my old EL.

[mcnamg]

first time I called when 23 they told me to call just cars then when I called again I told them I wanted to use the car for some track work that did the trick

[Aeron]

When I got my XR6T I was 20 and Shannons were the only ones that would insure me. Now im 23 with the XR6T and the SS both covered by Shannons Insurance. Both are kept in a locked up garage. Also, they are good with mods. When I called up to tell them that I’ve upgraded the brakes on the SS, the guy says straight away, “So that’s a 330mm upgrade?” And it was. I hadn’t even told him. So they know their stuff. 2 thumbs up for Shannons from me

As Ive said many times before, they insure me and Im more than happy with them, a great company to deal with.

I have a mate with a Mk 1 Cortina with a SR20 Turbo conversion and he is 19 and shannons insure him.

I am thinking about switiching from Just Cars to Shannons but im concerned about them not meeting me ont he agreed value part

[xwgasaxe]

I have had excellent dealings with Shannons they even put me on 60% no claim bonus straight away and when I moved to a different suburb the bloke told me it was going to increase my premium, I kindly told him that there were " More nefarious characters in my old suburb"
So he kept my premium the same.

Nice bloke.

Is that limited use?

I need mine (2003 BA XR8, Pretty much stock) insured for dailey use, it's in a locked garaged in a good town/Suburb, my current policy will run out just after my 19th B'day.

No infringements or accidents.

All you can do is try so give them a call. Also they do know their stuff I said it's had a stroker and he said "is that to 331ci or 347?".

Thanks mate, mine isn't really driven dailey, but i don't want to limit my usage either.

[OLDFORDNUT]

Same. Im 21, have had no fines or anything bad against my name, but that was a website quote telling me they wouldnt because i was under 25. If it isnt the case and they can still do it when your under 25, then bloody say so instead of a blunt no on the website.

[MITCHAY]

Shannons wouldn't touch me with a 10ft pole. Said 'WRX' and '19' in the same sentence and they couldn't get off the phone quick enough :

Clean history and I own the car outright too!

[RSgerry]

I have had a number of cars with them and claimed a new windscreen from them last year. Couldnt have been easier. So far I am really happy with them.

[jaydee]

My brother bought a fully resto's XB coupe from them over the net. The add said it had an FMX, when it got here to Perth we found it had a C4 thats needs a bit of work.
He had a whinge and after a while they coughed up $1200.
At least they're fair.

[Redrum]

I was with RACV for years, no claims, crap service, waiting on phone for hours, and mods not covered. A gust of wind brought the attention of Shannons Insurance to me. What can I say. I now have my car, my wife's car (she is under 25) and my house and contents covered by them. Awesome prices, top service. Best of all, all my mods covered!!

[XD427]

I tried to get insurance for my xd from shannons and found them not helpful at all, i lost my license for drink driving when i was 18 which was 8 years ago and because of that and the mods i had done to my vehicle they wouldnt insure my vehicle and had said even if they did and for example i had an accident that if they were to come out and see it had illegal modifactions, which could be having tyres that were over the 2 sizes difference from front to rear that that would void the insurance and not a cent would be paid out.

Just cars were just as helpful stating they could only insure my xd for its market value which was $3000 even though i had 30+ k in reciepts on it at the time.

[LTD Ute]

I'm in my 40's and have had a number of cars insured with Shannon's.

Currently my situation is -

Xc ute, restoration insurance - $7000 agreed and being upgraded all the time
1990 Capri and Laser, full comprehensive with 3 daughters driving.
24 yo - licence 4 years
23 yo - licence 1 month
18 yo - licence 6 months
All at prices that NO OTHER company could even come close to!!!
They will insure my youngest with her own car when she turns 19
full comprehensive and mods ( she's like her dad!)
Will be transferring both my building and contents, and investment
property insurance later on this year when they're up for renewall.

I cannot speak highly enough about this company!!!
and they do more than just cars!

[tickford2001]

another happy customer here, they saved me money on my insurance, and the cover is better, and includes an agreed value!

and now i get a discount on that with their new association with CAMS too

someone mentioned the under 25 thing, ive had insurance with them since I was 23, they wiped that under 25 thing a few years back I think and changed it so that under 25s can be covered as well, as long as they meet the conditions

[brenx]

My XB and EL are insured with Shannons. I'm going to get them to reaccess the XB once we redo the paint/panel which will prob happen this year I'm happy with them.

[Go baby Go]

5 cars with them ATM......

I have laid up on one (so at least if house burns down/roof falls in it's covered whilst in a state of disarray and in 1000 bits) 2 x limited use - under 10,000kms a year and 2 on normal policies -

Ohh, and house and contents too..... they have $10,000 on motorsport memorabilia too (guys go home and count those models/bonnets etc and do the math) and a $2k mobile option (ie things with you like mobile phone, camera jewellery etc)

Have been with them since I was 18, and can't complain. have had to claim once and there was no problems whatsoever.....

[Mondie]

Got 4 cars insured with them and cant speak highly enough of their service. No problem getting current market value either which is more than l can say for all the other insurers l have tried.

[Falchoon]

Shannons policy was roughly double the price of NRMA on my XR6T but about the same, could of even been a tad cheaper on a Typhoon. There has been some recent discussion in FPV & XR Owners Club of ACT forum
