Does Aami insure Toyota HiAce campervans?

Cruising Granny · Guru

I've insured my van with Caravan Insurance Ltd (CIL), and my car is with Allianz.
You can insure through the RACV, Australian Seniors.
I'm sure AAMI will insure the camper van. You price and research insurance on the internet to make comparisons of prices and benefits.
Why can't you continue the comprehensive insurance with your current insurer?

Thats what I want to do CG, my current insurer is Aami for my last vehicle. I want to transfer it to the Toyota HiAce.
Someone suggested they might not insure campervans. I can't see why not.

Hi HW.
I assume you have all the Hi Ace back home and in order.
You will have to show use some pic once you have it packed and ready to go.
have you got a date when you will head off.

No, still at the mechanic patrolst. But I see when I went passed in bus today he is working on it thats a good sign. He had to fit it in between his already booked in jobs.
Frustrating I know but I have to try and be patient. Hope to head north early April so have a month to get it all set up.

Have looked at joining and get your insurance through the CMCA?
Seems many Campervanners go down that route.

When I set up my old van in Broome I had to send photos of my cyclone tie downs to CIL. It was on site at the time. When I upgraded to the current van I just changed over and had to tell them when I went from on site to on road.
It's in your best interest to keep them informed of your movements.
CMCA seems to look after their members. I don't know who the underwriters are, but if it works.... it's worth a shot.
Shop around while you're waiting for your vehicle to be ready. I'm jealous. How exciting to be heading off. Safe travels.

I'm with RACQ in Qld. Have insured all my vehicles [plus H/C] with them, including the Hi-ace.

Haven't had a problem with minor claims yet.

Cheers,

Aami do not insure Campervans.

Have gone with RACV. Couldn't believe how cheap they are. $20.60 a month which is $247.00 for the year plus another 5.00 a month to cover all windows, not just the windscreen, with no excess (for the windows).
$550 excess on the comprehensive insurance.

Goodonya HW, ticking off all the things you have to do, getting closer to the big day! Must be really exciting!

Hi
Go to the CMCA web page you will find there insurance is very good catch is you have to join their club have used it a couple of times and no problems with them. Lots of benafits in joining about $48 per year.
Best of luck

glad you got Myrtle insured Marj, but no good to me RACT won't insure mine because it has a 4 litre engine but would have if she had a 3.500!

Hi Lorraine. I was rapt with the deal, half the price of my old car.
Myrtle still not home but is in the workshop. Will go around on Monday see how they are going.

I insured my car with RAC WA, but when my postal address changed to SA and I didn't have a residential address, they wouldn't let me insure with them anymore, in spite of the fact I was travelling and was still registered in WA.
