i bailed on nrma a few years back....
shannons have all my cars 10 i think,1 bike and my house which automatically gives me 10k on my garage..ive looked at others but none come close as a package with price and ease of policy changes etc..the only thing i would say about shannons..if you are not happy with the price the phone operaters give you then go to a car show that has shannons reps and get your vehicle valued there ..its worked for me a couple of times in raising the insured value ..

When you have an accident out in the bush SA they couldnt even tell me what tow truck company I should ring to come get my car. YES CORRECT I had to organize this.

On another note BE AWARE of your policy. I suggest ALWAYS carry a copy of your policy and all the fine print. That way when you ring your insurance company and tell them you have had an accident you know what your entitled to. Shannons ripped me off on what I should have been entitled to. One bloke said I was entitled to it on the first phone call. 2nd bloke tells me Im not.

Do I recommend shannons? NO. Do I insure with them. Yes. (at the moment)
i reckon you just got a bad one..ive had a claim with shannons on my vq statesman 1 tonner and they could not have been more helpful...in fact they annoyed the shit out of me ringing every 4 days to see if i was happy?

all insurance company policies should be read and understood prior to claiming...
salvage rights are not automatic like people think..certain vehicles dependant on age get it automatically while others you have to ask and pay more for and later models again its not an option..this is in the fine print but few read it...
