I used Budget Direct's online quote calculator and changed the excess, restricted the drivers, didn't bother with hire car replacement etc, and ended up under $600 for each car at our household. Funny thing is one car is worth $2600, and the other car is new.
I switched from RACV many years ago as they were expensive, slow and frustrating to deal with. I figured I'd pay the cheapest rate around for the privilege of being treated like a criminal when I needed to claim, and to my amazement Budget were friendly and quick, and cheaper than AAMI, Alianz, RACV...
But on house & contents I found AAMI were cheaper.
Also everyone's online quotes seemed to be cheaper than if you called them.

One thing to be aware of is that some insurers may repair your car using non-genuine parts, and so your car's safety rating may be effected. I am not sure what Budget Direct do, must look into that...
