Got my NRMA CTP renewal today.

Looked at it and it said $590.61!

Thats more than what i paid for it last year.

Now the funny thing is that if i do an online quote on the NRMA website I get different prices.

Price Variation #1 = If I dont hold my comprehensive insurance with NRMA it cost $441

Price Variation #2 = If I do hold my comprehensive insurance with NRMA (which I do) it costs $329.

WTF is wrong with NRMA and sending me a renewal notice for $590? <_<

Does anyone else find the same thing is happening to them?

My first question is how old are you? ;)

How much did you pay last year? That figure sounds about right for an under 25 in a major city.

Now the funny thing is that if i do an online quote on the NRMA website I get different prices.

Price Variation #1 = If I dont hold my comprehensive insurance with NRMA it cost $441

Price Variation #2 = If I do hold my comprehensive insurance with NRMA (which I do) it costs $329.

Once again that sounds about right for an over 25, I can't remember how much I paid last year but it was something similar.

Have you had a birthday in the meantime? If you're turning 25 after the CTP renewal is due then you still get charged the full price, even if you're turning 25 a couple of days/weeks later. I know 'cause my rego is due in July but my birthday is in August.

However if you're already 25 or older then maybe you need to update your records with the NRMA...

EDIT: Just remembered the MAA price guide http://motoraccidents-linux.vividcluster.g...t.au/index.html

im over 25.

Just realised why the original renewal is higher than last year... the Medical levy for children. :)

Still its rather silly of NRMA to quote me higher on a renewal notice, when its cheaper for me the cancel and reissue.

That doesn't sound right, are you sure they have your details correct? Also is anyone under 25 driving the vehicle?

I just did the MAA calculator & it gave me the same price as you, $329 with existing comprehensive insurance...

EDIT: Just did another calculation with myself and my imaginary 24yo friend and the price jumped to - you guessed it - $590.91

Well you'd hope they have my age right.... considering they do have my DOB on both the CTP And Comprehensive policy I hold with them. LOL

Only registered driver on the vehicle is me, I even took my mum off, cos she made a claim about 2 years ago on her car.... which actually affected the cost of my premium.

I did a quote with GIO, with my exact details, except i said I had no insurance... $590 as well.

Yeah you'd hope so but stranger things have happened. Check the fine print and make sure your DOB is correct as well as making sure that the chassis/engine numbers etc correspond between your CTP & comprehensive policies.

Anyway i'd suggest giving them a call tomorrow, hopefully they can sort it out over the phone and give you a new form/policy number with the correct price.

Also try the MAA calculator & see what quotes that gives you in comparison...

make sure you tell them your no claim bonus rating if you have Comprehensive insurance. The are not automatically applying discounts now, so you need to prove a rating 1.

Thats not required for CTP is it?

Just did a quote for Comprehensive on the corolla for 19k agreed... its getting higher.

$1200 :(

Anyone recommend a 3rd party + property damage policy?

ie a policy where if i crash i need to cough out all repairs to my car (or if the car gets stolen), but everyone else is covered?

You can now get 3rd party property AND theft which is a much better option IMO.

The only hassle with 3rd party is that if your car gets damaged by someone else then you have to run around getting quotes & sending letters of demand etc whereas with comprehensive insurance you just make a claim and let the insurance sort it out.

I think 3rd party property should be compulsory for all cars but that's another matter I suppose...

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
