Australian 4WD Action – July 2019

The nightmare everyone dreads. Is your 4WD properly insured?

Insurance is one of those

begrudging things that we pay

every month (or year), that

seems like you’re just throwing

your money away – until you

need to use it. You’re playing

with fire not having even a basic

third party insurance, because if

you hit the anchor and run up

someone’s clacker, you’ll be left

with potentially crippling repair

bills. And while it’s okay to just

have your run-of-the-mill

bare-bones third party

insurance on a 4WD worth a

couple of grand, what about the

rest of us who have put

considerable time, money and

effort into our pride and joys?

If you’ve worked your guts out

to build your way up from an old

dunger to a mint 4WD with all

the gear, then the last thing you

want to do is have a prang and

end up driving a clapped-out

$1000 dunger around again.

We’ve all heard the horror

stories. 4WDers being knocked

back on claims, left out in the

cold with broken 4WDs and

massive repair bills for other

vehicles. This article will cover

all the major points you need to

know to ensure your 4WD is

properly covered and there are

no hassles should the worst

happen.

So the big thing everyone

wants to know, is how to get

their modified 4WD insured
