I'm with Shannon's, happy with the price haven't had to claim so can't comment

I do have a friend who converted from laid up to full cover on the Friday wrote his car off on the drag strip on the Saturday and had no problems with the claim

Is your car to be simply laid up or are you restoring it?

I'm restoring my XC and have restoration insurance which includes a generous amount of cover for spares.

we've got the beetle on club rego and with RACV Veteran, Vintage & Classic. At $90 fully comp you could even use that if it were laid up. Maybe RACQ have similar?
