Insurance costs - Australia
Hi guys, I am picking up my car in the next few weeks and are struggling to get insurance online quotes outside of the Mercedes dealership. I am early forties, with a clear claim history and the car is garaged in a good suburb in Melbourne. For those of you who have your car already, which insurance company did you go with and what was the cost? I will most likely run with the Mercedes insurance but it would be nice to at least benchmark it.

btw, the difference between garaged and on the street parking worked out to $28 annually!
forgot to mention I'm 33.

I'm 31 with a clean driving record and I'll keep the car garaged in the eastern suburbs of Adelaide. Shannons quoted $2700-ish for the Edition 1 wagon and I'll go with them when the car arrives early next year.

Wow - $1600 through AAMI sounds like good value. Is your excess massive?
Mercedes through QBE are $2700 (same as .dee and finch!) with a $1150 excess. Hope you are all enjoying your cars....

Excess is around $3k I think with the flexi excess approach (higher excess for reduced premium). But then you take off the $1.1k per year premium saving over your qbe quote and $3k shrinks very quickly. I have to be up front though and say that I have never claimed on insurance so I'm probably a low risk customer.
