Industry News May 2022
Check out what’s happening throughout the industry with insurance options for our two-wheel-drive owner readers, some great news about the Birdsville Races and a major tourism award in South Australia. CLUB 4X4 GOES 2X4 Club 4X4 Insurance has recently broadened its offering to two-wheel-drive vehicles and SUVs. Company chief Kalen Ziflian said: “We recognise that many of our policyholders have a daily driver that is not a 4X4. We wanted to help these people and offer a multi-policy discount. So, when you sign up for an additional vehicle, you’ll receive a discount not just on your daily driver, but on your 4X4 too.” Currently, Club 4X4s Comprehensive Daily Drive Insurance is only available to policyholders. So, if you have your 4X4, caravan or camper-trailer insured with Club 4X4, you can access the Daily Drive Insurance and the associated discounts. The multi-vehicle discounts vary depending on the vehicle or trailer but are up to 10%. Club 4X4 also offers the new multi-vehicle policy to be covered by a single policy schedule. You can have one simple payment per month and a single renewal date across all your vehicles to make managing your insurance easier. To find out more, call 1800 CLUB 4X4 (258 249) BIRDSVILLE IS BACK! The iconic Birdsville Races is back in 2022, ready to celebrate its 140th anniversary!…

Have you received your 4X4 vehicle insurance renewal yet? If you haven’t, you’re likely to be in for a shock as our resident not-so-grey nomad Marty Ledwich found out recently when his arrived. Unfortunately, the news isn’t good. Premiums are on the rise. A couple of weeks ago, I was sitting in our new caravan, working on my laptop, looking for things to do during our visit to Canberra and thinking “how good is my life”. That was until my email pinged that I had received a notice for my car insurance renewal. Normally I would just flick this over to my wife who takes care of our finances and not give it a second thought but something inside me made me open it up and check it out. I had heard that premiums were on the rise. Crikey, that was an understatement. The next words that came out of my mouth cannot be repeated here. Suffice to say I had a bit of a shock. The insurance premium on our 200 Series LandCruiser had risen by 30%. No, that isn’t a typo. A 30% increase or an additional $300 per annum! Given we had not had any claims or changes in circumstances in the last 12 months, I was keen to find out what had happened. I called my insurer (who…
