So AAMI quoted me $365 for house and contents last year, but this year - with nothing having changed - they now want to collect $706. Fat chance (how I have longed to use that expression - very Enid B.) and nor would they let me pay it in monthly installments as my ‘rating’ isn’t high enough. So I did a ring around. Straight away Suncorp and my personal pick, the Victoria Teachers Credit Union, both came in at about $200 less, and let me pay monthly installments - Suncorp at a slightly increased rate and the VTCU at no extra cost. Thus, AAMI, as nice as they were about my laptop, can kiss my arse. Just to see if they would give me a cheap quote again, I rang back under an assumed name (did I mention I always aspired to a career in espionage?) to see what they’d offer me as a first home owner insurance virgin. They quoted me $817 even though I gave all the same specs that they’re now trying to charge me $706 for. Goodbye AAMI.

GAH!! Don’t get me started on insurance companies… they are down there with c-a-r salesmen and lawyers. Maybe even below. Having the same nonsense here in Canada.
