Insurance, who would you choose?

[crazybigal]

looking at changing insurance companies for my blackbird.

my dilemma is
$515.50 with $1000 excess with classic cover
or kiwibike $692.28 with 500 excess!

anyone had experience with either?
i hear only good things about both so i cant decide

[blacksheep]

Please use the site search facility. It's good practice for all noobs with questions about insurance, tyres, what to buy next after a 250, the meaning of life the universe and EVERYTHING!

What about star insurance, they are worth a look as well, they have nill excess on theft if you have data dots on your bike as well

[crazybigal]

yeah did that, and i listed what they came up with

[awesker]

Im with Kiwibike, been with them since I started riding, and they gave me a pretty awesome discount for my no claims bonus! like 300$ off my excess. sweet!

They get my vote for sure. :sunny:

sorry didn't read start of thread properly:brick: ,kiwibike have always been very good with me and my son for bike insurance deals

Classic Cover. Brilliant company to deal with, Maria especially.

They have a permanent customer and pimp in me, for sure.

[Laava]

Got to agree with J2, Maria at Classic Cover was great. Had my 10 week old machine replaced recently by them and all went smoothly. Mind you I'm still waiting for the new machine! Hey....wait a minute!:D

kiwibike hands down, just to give you some idea why - i picked up my bike on sunday, it had been written off and repaired by Shaun but he was away racing.

who to the rescue? none other than Dave himself from KiwiBike Insurance (and Donna too), he picked up the bike from Shaun's and stored it in his garage, i flew up on sunday and he rode it out to the airport for me.

also he managed a sweet sweet deal when my bike was written off - he got them to give it to me for FREE! and whats more they agreed not to register the bike as written off!

So in my eyes KiwiBike are the best, great team, great service and affordable!

aint that shit illegal? it should be

[Wasp]

no as it wasnt technically "written off" they just paid out, we just call it that cos its easier than explaining what happened

[crazybigal]

a bike can be writen off because of broken fairings and headlights, ive seen it.
writen off is just a term. it dosnt mean the bike is fucked.
Whats more a bike can be writen off and not dereged.
some insurance companies have a policy if its writen off then they dereg it no mater what and that makes it a real pain to put on the road again.
so many hoops to jump through its not worth it!!
so i guess wasp was lucky!

I have to recommend Star Insurance as they tend to match any deal going and they offer track day cover, not to mention that have a good claims service.

Classic cover are good initially, i.e they give you quotes on tiem but i've got a claim that has only just been finalised now through classic cover going back to SEPTEMBER.

One mint thing on their policy thou that no other companies have as far as i'm aware, is that if the pre accident valuation comes back at within 20% of the sum insured, they add GST on top of teh settlement.

So for instance, if you bike is insured for $12,000 and it is a write off, then you will get $13,500 as your settlement.

But if you dont mind waiting for 3 months to get your claim sorted then all good.
