Insurance on vehicle imports
cosmicvette:
Hi,
Im in the process of getting my car shipped from the US to home (Sydney).
At the moment Im trying to sort out some things..one being transport/shipping insurance.
My shipping company has given me the name of an insurance company that deals with this sort of stuff - Midas Insurance Brokers - however, everytime (without fail) I have called them to try to get a quote, get information on what details they require from us, when/how to pay etc (you get the picture) they have been extremely rude and unhelpful....EVERYTIME WITHOUT FAIL.
I can usually take a bit of crap from insurance companies, but this is ridiculous. Im not about to hand over a large wad of cash to a company that can't answer a question or two.
Is there another company that can provide this type of insurance as I am VERY RELUCTANT to go with this company now.
Id appreciate your help guys and gals....quite an urgent matter.
Stay cool, cosmicvette

Good luck. If they are like that when you want to give them your business I'd hate to think what would happen if you needed to make a claim. ;eek

cosmicvette:
Thanks for your replies guys.
Vette Obsessed> You are so right. I couldn't imagine if I needed to make a claim with them! You should see all the clauses involved - doesn't cover for this, doesn't cover for that etc etc....I don't even know what they do cover for and they won't even let me ask them any questions. To go through with the insurance they need quite a few details from me ..however will not tell me what these details they need when I ask..I just don't get it!
69 Dirty Rat > Thanks for the tip.I'll give pontiworld a call tomorrow. I am keen to get this insurance sorted ASAP. so hopefully Dave can help out.
MJ355 > Hey dude! Yep thats me :22.. used to have that camaro. The camaro was a great car. I was sad to see it go. :( but will love the vette for sure!
Yeah thats the car - 70 coupe, SB, Auto (cause of my arm injury) PS, PB, PW, AC. Matching #'s.
Its my boyfriend and my car. What colour? Its a little RED corvette.
I will probably be at the next club meeting. I haven't been for a while, because of my training, then was overseas, then have been dealing with my injury probs....but with the vette coming I want to get back into it. I have the time on my hands cause I cant train at the moment.
Im looking forward to seeing everyone again. Garry was always cool to me.
So MJ355 who are you?! (sorry if that sounded rude) and how did you know about my vette? you have certainly been doing your homework! I'm impressed.
