best car insurance provider? and buying a 2nd hand car with Philippine license help

Hi guys just wanted to ask ano ba yung pinaka-okay na car insurance provider. I was looking at RACQ but still not decided.

And lahat ba kayo pinapabayad ng dagdag na bayad for
"Inexperienced driver excess"
- Driver is 25 years old or more and has held an Australian license for less than 2 years.

Wala namang issue if I'm using a Philippine license diba? As long as wala pang 3 months from arriving in Brisbane?

Salamat in advance sa info =)

    @birdsfromspace,
    shop around the internet, i think mas mababa ang premium sa coles insurance, they have car and other types of insurance, try browsing sa webpage nila.
    even if u have an australian license, i think may excess payment na babayaran, depende ung amount sa insurer, starts from 500 up..un lng ang pagkaka alam ko...and if u have an AU license, y still use PHP license..may I ask what type of visa do u hold, kung PR ka na, u need to have that license after 3 months of stay...hope this help

    and are u planning of buying a 2nd hand car? i'm selling one of our vehicle, seldom being used at this time, 2008 toyota aurion ATX, +107K odometer reading...V6 3.5L bluish silver colour, good running condition, properly maintained,

    Hey guys salamat sa info. Ended up going with RACQ dahil sa roadside service nila.

    Still using a Philippine license cause I'm not comfortable taking the tests just yet. Pero actual driving dito ok lang haha

    Same question din ako. Mas ok ba kung i-avail din yung mga excess na tinatawag? Dko pa kasi maintindihan kung ano ung mga un. I thought, kapag kumuha ka ng comprehensive insurance, you're good to go na.
