Star Insurance

[gas]

thanks for the deal on the insurance tim, definately a good deal, cheers, gas

[Edbear]

Agreed! Pays to go through Tim, though as another agent's quote with Star was a lot dearer!

[Hinckley]

I tried Stars quoting system on their webpage seemed a bit expensive. Maybe i didnt do it right. :shutup:

Wasn't just you, I had the same problem when I was getting my insurance sorted a while ago. The Star online quote was ridiculous, but the same cover via Tim was way better, so I went with that.

Hey guys thanks for the feedback :) I better clarify this though: I don't work for Star Insurance I work for John Baker Insurance Brokers.
As a broker I work for you, not the insurance company. It is for this reason I can negotiate lower premiums with underwriters such as Star Insurance.

That would explain why Star was about $150 dearer than AMI.

I deal with Kiwibike Insurance Brokers and find them Good to deal with, no problem with track days either:scooter:

Am curious to see what people are paying for a Gixxer 1000.

I had a K6 thou and in 2006 I was paying $900 for full cover.

I'm currently paying $560 annual for full cover on my 2006 SV thou.

Is anybody onto something better for the SV?

I pay $460 Only rider full cover for my YZF1000 Thunderace 1997, I think that is ok:yes:

And this is why they are cheaper (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=47022)

Don't always go for the cheapest cover because you may find it doesn't cover what you thought it did, same goes for brake pads that are $150 cheaper - saves you $150 when buying them but when you need to make that emergency stop to avoid that dickhead that just pulled out infront of you, you find they wont work as well and splat. Just a thought.

Are you a poet or something jetboy

Hiya Tim, thanks for sorting out insurance for the VFR, quick & easy.

As Jetboy has said, he works for John Baker Ins Brokers, not Star. If enough of us start going through JBI, we as Kiwibikers may qualify for premium discounts as the Ulysses club does.

Get with it people!

im with star and my bike was damaged by a dickwit that ran a red light and hit me in the back knocking my fatboy 60 metres down the road i was ok just back pain and sore legs, but my custom paint work was screwed they got a guy to try and touch it up, and he made a bigger mess even clearcoated underspray trapping it under neath, tape marks in the paint and just stuck a brush in some holes, i was pissed and so was the assor, the full tanks and guards now have to be repainted at a cost of 4k and they want me to pay 3k and they pay 1k ??? i have full cover with them costing me $1084.00 this accident happend on 07/01/07 and im still waiting to get my bike back as it was so all i can say is choose your insurance carefully and make sure of what you are coverd for and GET it in writing.
worst of all the dickwit that knocked me off is only getting diversion as he has a clean licence, he is ok and back on the road while i drive an armchair living in hope of getting my baby back life sucks so do insurance compaines i jst wish that he had wrote it off at least i would of had wheels by now.

[dmouse]

yipee just got word today star is gona pay for my custom paint to be redone, so that means i will have my wheels back soon and look out for idiots again i feel a complex coming on

I tried to get insurance through AA and they refused because I only had a learner bike licence.This is after having used them for 10 years and having a no claims bonus with them.How is somebody supposed to learn and get their licence,wankers.I ended up getting insurance with State,they seemed OK.

Your bike looks good in blue good choice. It useualy pays to go through a broker cos dealing direct with Insurance Companys takes long time for claims to be delt with. A good broker looks for the best option for the client, we need insurance cos there's lots of clowns in cars that are nocking us off our bikes.:yes:

[MrMelon]

Just thought I'd better put a quick note in here. Jetboy just sorted me out with a wicked deal for insuring my bikes and with a realistic excess too! Swann wanted to chuck a $500 age excess and a $700 special excess on top of the regular $500 excess since I was under 25 and had a speeding ticket within the last 5 years (!!).

If you're insurance is coming up for renewal give Jetboy a yell when you do your shopping around.

So yeah cheers Tim.

Tim is the man, star is good too :rockon:

AA turned me down even after having a full mc licence without a claim for 2 years - even though I had full no claims cover for my motorbike with another insurer... (I also had a 7year history of car/contents with AA without a claim).

So as my renewals come up, im moving insurances over to AMI - well done AA!

Dude, forget AMI; didn't you read the thread? Give Tim a call. His number is above and he's really helpful (to the point that I think maybe it ain't right that he seems to enjoy his job so much!)

Ha ha well having the alcohol cabinet right next to my desk helps! On a serious note I know how frustrating it is to deal with insurance companies (thats what I do every day so you guys dont have to!) so I like to make things as quick and easy as possible.
