Rollin Insurance (rebranded from Poncho) is offering 25% off their month-to-month insurance premiums for the first 6 months. This is currently the best offer I could find for insurance across all providers (~30% cheaper compared to the best quote I could find if I stay with them for 6 months, and ~19% cheaper if I stay with them for full year).

Website looks shady, but they are underwritten by IAG and was recommended along with Bingle as one of the cheap providers in previous OzB threads.

        Vehicle value is just one component of the premium. Many other factors can affect your premium - it's not that Rollin' wouldn't disclose but it is much more sophisticated than you think and the front line staff is not trained to explain premium difference accurately.

        Other factors that can affect your premium: repair/spare parts cost, age, gender and many more.

    I have been with them for about 2 years. Signed up when they were “Poncho Insurance” and I am still on the 30% COVID discount on the already cheaper than any other insurers’ premium.I haven’t had any claims, so can’t comment on the claims experience. I am sticking to them because their inclusions and premium are best in the market and the fact that this is owned by IAG who apparently evaluating a new model of Car insurance. One of the best features is you can add or remove additional cars and drivers on the go with immediate effect and premium is paid only for those days accordingly. Very helpful when lending car to friends and family or borrowing someone else’s car.

    I have recommended it to many people in 2 years but very frequently get feedback that they can’t insure in their suburn or the car model they own. Probably they only offer their services at low risk locations.

  • hsp on 17/10/2022 - 14:55

    Their calculation for the market value is less than half of the actual worth of the car, even after the 15% 'Boost'. Lol.

    With Allianz the minimum agreed value is double of what these guys are offering.

      to me there's nothing more at polar opposites than NRMA and Rollin'

      NRMA is a fuddy duddy boomers insurance company for your $100k LC200 and your three axle caravan…

      Rollin' is trying very hard to be hip and with "Fellow Kids" vibe.. when really they are just as offshoot of US giant IAG… which is one of the scummiest places I've ever worked at… with one of the scummiest reps… and that's saying a lot because they're a US insurance company…

      • Gavman on 17/10/2022 - 16:22

        Pretty sure in VIC they are run by RACV. I’ve been with them for over a year and had claimed not long ago (no fault). They were pretty good to deal with. Even replaced 2 baby seats for new ones up to $1000. The only downside was they only covered 21 days hire car. With covid repair of cars can take 2-3 months to repair so it didn’t come close to covering us with a rental. Thankfully the place we have the car repaired us gave us a good courtesy car for the duration of the repair.

  • Make it so on 17/10/2022 - 16:32
    +1

    There is no easy way to know if this is a real discount or not.

    Look through reviews of different insurers in different price tiers, and you will see the recurring theme that you get what you pay for. The cheap ones will try to find every excuse not to cough up if you actually need to make a claim. And if they do cover you, they make you do the runaround for quotes or limit you to a crappy repair place.

    I have been with RAC, and they have been great to deal with. No hassle at all, choice of repairer, etc.

    • Gavman on 17/10/2022 - 16:48

      That’s not this mob. I’ve been with rollin insurance for a while and made a claim earlier this year. Car got repaired there was 17k damage. They took care of it all. I wouldn’t say these guys are cheap either. They aren’t a no frills insurer like budget or bingle. They provide good benefits with claims. They could extend free hire car longer than 21 days but that would be the only think they lack. Choice of repairer is also not a deal killer. Most ppl don’t even have a repairer to choose and would want to be recommended one. Those that do usually pick a relative or friend that try to screw the insurance company with dodge quotes that get unapproved and delay the process.

      • Make it so on 17/10/2022 - 18:42

        I don't know them, so I'll take your word for it.
        Choice of repairer means you can pick a reputable business, rather than the "lowest bidder". I have heard of many people who had to get their car repaired far from home (because the insurer only used a select few places), and had to wait for a long time to get it back. When you're time-poor, it's pleasant if you can pick a place that suits you.

  • TaurusHead on 17/10/2022 - 16:33

    I was with these guys a while.

    At the time, they were the best value i could find. Friendly efficient comms, and there are also referral codes on Ozbargain which may work with the above (keep going and you'll find a $100 cashback one).

    Perfect for young drivers, they don't have the 'inexperienced driver excess' that many providers have, and they valued my car at a much higher rate than any others.

    It's easy to add drivers to the policy any time online.

    Sadly, they are strictly private use only. If you claim ANY part of your car as a business expense or tax deduction, it could technically render your insurance invalid.
