Most car insurance providers want to know of any accidents you have been in for the previous 5 years, at fault or not. It definately effects the premium you pay.
Pretty sure that is only with the cheap companies.Most of them offer cheaper premiums,but get you other ways.such as higher excesses and probably no such thing as no claim bonuses.You find their idea of market value for payouts is lower than the major Co,s

If I see a heavy advertised Insurance, I steer clear of such.

Better join the A team Huleo ? Well they were good but they got way to far out on a yearly price so I had to drop them, I am not paying for TV adds !

Suncorp were good but got way out on price for the year so I had to drop them.

Now with Coles.

Don't trust anyone else with property insurance, is another one heavy advertised on TV that I would not trust at all.

And that so called Real insurance is so heavy advertised I would not touch with a 39 1/2 Ft pole.

If anyone knows what it cost to advertise on TV must know a company doing so must be in huge trouble to do so or are corrupt as hell I believe.

As if they were any good they would not have to advertise at all in fact, would they. what do you mob think.

She is no longer with Budget Direct. Every insurance company we contacted (lots and lots) wanted to know about any accident she had been involved in and all increased their premium for a no fault claim accordingly.

Again I can only comment on my experience.
Spot on.

RACV has a section on renewal paperwork that includes any claim over the last 5 years.
