i opened this thread with the intention of saying exactly this.
depends on what type of insurance. i didnt even bother getting comprehensive because its way too fucking expensive (i think the premium is about $2000 with aami, and the driver excess is massive as well). this is why you should get a shitbox car until your older, so you dont have to get comprehensive (unless you're rich, then by all means waste thousands of dollars per year). i dont have a particularly nice car (2003 magna) and i am not rich, so i got third party property with aami, and its about $400 a year premium. driver excess is pretty massive but only if i actually need to make a claim.
green slip with aami for an 18 year old was $630 for me :mad1:

edit: for an 18 year old female who got their learner licence in 2008....
TTP: $425 per year, plus another $125 for fire and theft protection. standard excess = $550, driver excess= $900
green slip: $690.56 per year. funny how its gone up by about $30 since i got my greenslip in april.... fucking fucks.
