I’ve seen Suncorp offering better deals on cars than RACV recently.

They are currently the winner - I can get comprehensive insurance through them cheaper than the RACV third party. Weirdly RACV are quoting me a lower price for third party fire and theft than just straight third party property which covers less!

RACV got their asses kicked by AAMI for us this year. to be fair, AAMI also crushed Budget Direct. The real irony being a MY23 ~$45k SUV was substantially cheaper than the MY~10 $8k Hatchback.

I mean, I know the safety tech and all that, and the hatch is a known p plater car. But seriously. You guys are gonna screw me on a market value of it anyway, meanwhile you'd be stuck buying me a brand new SUV if i managed to write it off.

None of these quotes make sense! RACV are quoting cheaper for 3rd party if I add fire and theft to it. Suncorp is quoting me cheaper for a basic comprehensive policy than for third party.
