    Thanks everyone, *sigh* will have to call or go in then ARGH no idea when I'm going to get the time to do that.

    Pandora, my parents never had comprehensive, though not sure it counts since I'm 23 so I think any discount I'd have been eligible for would have been well expired by now LMAO

    another thing is shel over 25 maybe u could get the insurance in her name coz it might be a bit cheaper and u can be listed as a driver and u could get a discount coz u can say no one under 21 will be driving i know some places do it in vic and then next year when u turn 25 u can have it as no one under 25 will be driving then u could get even more discount HTH

    Leasha, I don't think your parents would need comprehensive? Even if they just had 3rd party, you might still be able to get some sort of reduction in price?? Though I could be totally wrong here too.

    Most insurance companies also offer a reduction in your premium if you do a skilled drivers course. I know AAMI reduce your premium by 10% if you do one of those courses. You can even check out when they have a course next available (Sunday 21st March @ Brissie TAFE, Gateway Campus )

    Do you have contents insurance? If you do, you could ring your insurer and ask if they do car insurance. You might get a little discount for mulitple policies.

    Oh, 3rd party is compulsory - is that only in QLD?

    Also if your partner has had comprehensive insurance and you have been together more than five years you can claim their rating......I did this recently....previously the car i drove had been insured in my mothers name as it was cheaper and when we bought a new car I was able to claim DHs rating 1...so you may be able to look into that side of things as well.....
