    Post JOHN BAKER INSURANCE -how good are they?

    Heya, I am currently with Swan *kiwibike and am thinking of switching to John Baker Insurance -jetboy.

    Who is/ has been insured with them? and how satisfied are you with them as a whole? Have they paid when you have claimed and how long did they take?

    Any comments that would help me make this decision are welcomed and appreciated. Please don't troll and thanks in advance.

    Thumbs up

    I've not had any claims with them, but they were upfront about everything and did me a very good deal at the end of the day.

    They get my vote for sure.

    you will find they go thru, star insurance as a lot of brokers do,.
    he gave me a quote and i intend to take it up,
    star isnt the cheapest, but will hopfully be the best in the long run.

    John Baker Insurance... fuggin brilliant! I don't deal with jetboy, but a guy called Liam. Always been VERY helpful. As mentioned in the past, Gassit Girl was knocked off her K1 SV650 in 2002, the repair process went on behind the scenes, and then JBI had the cheek to send the excess cheque to me about a week after we got the bike back. I actually rang Keith ( who has retired, I think) and gave him a tune up... I thought I was supposed to wait for it.
    As a result, now have ALL of my insurance policies with JBI

    A recent thread on here left me with the distinct impression that their insurance is very good, but don't rely on the included road side service. But hey we don't really xpay insurance for road side service do we!!!

    .... back in green and feeling great ....

    Got to sound them all out and choose the one that suits,me personally asked for a quote from them,just to compare and when I said my premium they were up front and said nope we can't match it,had a good chat with them about other parts of their policy,if I required full insurance aside from my current provider I'd go with them.

    I've only just started Insurance with JBI as from Saturday, so far it's been good

    I've gone through Tim (who I think is Jetboy on here?), he has been incredibly helpful! Esp. as I had no idea about the whole "insurance process" at the start and he kindly explained how it all worked

    I was with Swann and they SUCK BIG TIME - tried getting out of paying a legit claim - dragged it out, lied etc - I persisted and spoke to Mgmt in the end bloody expensive too. Fkwits personified.

    I am now with John Baker - thru Tim - lot cheaper and hopefully I will never have to claim.

    Jetboy / John Baker offer very good service. They sell star insurance who are also very good. My claim was settled quickly, fairly and without fuss.

    Im with state.

    1 - $345 full insurance 1 year
    2 - $350 excess
    3 - $500 excess for any other rider.
    4 - $7000 full comprehensive insurance.

    I never had insurance before, I am on my learners.

    cant beat that I was totally shocked and asked if they had made a mistake
