well you could lie about how many km's your car has when the policy starts, but then what happens if you have an accident when the km's on the car are less than what you stated when the policy started?
you're busted and then i'd imagine not insured

i have made a claim with aami when i was not at fault and got my preffered repairer who was not cheapest.
i could either to take it to their repair centre and they organise it all with repairer of their choice or i had to get 3 quotes myself then took it to an assesor who made the decision, i told him who the preferred on was and he said ok. certainly more time consuming, but if you want the choice thats what you gotta do.
it was about a $2k job and my preferred was about $400 higher.
Thanks for the heads up John, I'll keep that in mind...
Only reason I'm with them is because I've got everything bundled together with them, ie: house and contents and all the cars, so the premium rates in my case are excellent...
I've only ever had to claim once in nearly 25 years of driving, wasn't my fault as an old car of mine many years ago was hit and smashed while it was parked and I don't know who did it...
Anyways AAMI looked after me very well in that situation, they coughed up no probs and I WAS ABLE TO CHOOSE MY OWN REPAIRER !!!
If it's not like that anymore these days ??? I'll have to change insurer when my policies are due...
I've already decided to go to Shannons for my vert, because it is highly/substantially modified and rarely driven and no mainstream insurance company will cover that extent of modifications or give a good discount for limited usage, so Shannon's it is for my vert...for the rest of them, I'll hunt around a better deal, if not successful, I'll stick to AAMI for now :)
yeah, they we're too bad before.. but i wasn't happy with it..
if you drive a 10 year car and never polished it, these drivers shouldn't have an issue with AAMI.
but if you value your car, i suggest you look elsewhere..
i've been burnt before by AAMI, but if you had a good experience with AAMI then lucky you.
From AAMI-
For your peace of mind, we choose the repairer and arrange the repair.
We ordinarily obtain two independent, competitive quotes, from repairers recommended by AAMI. If you want, you can choose a repairer to provide one of the quotes. Our assessor will review the quotes, including any quote from a repairer you choose, and what is necessary to properly repair your car. We will choose the repairer who has submitted the more competitive and complete quote and that will be the repairer who repairs your car.
