The definitive motorcycle insurance thread

[Rhys]

Plus one for Kiwi Bike Insurance, I've not had a claim though

[Mike.Gayner]

I've learned to not even bother shopping around. Kiwibike.co.nz, that's all you need to know.

edit: I should qualify that I haven't yet had to claim, so can't comment on that end of the business. Which, granted, is pretty bloody important.

[Daffyd]

Kiwibike are brokers... ergo they do the hunting round for you. They'll find you the best deal.

Golightly.



Very recent post on this subject somewhere.

My WR was stolen and they paid out no problem. Money was in my account six days after the theft.
They also don't discriminate on age, my son bought a brand new R1 the day he turned 18 his premium was exactly the same as my R1, same year etc. Your gear is covered as well at no extra.

I've given Kiwibike a go a few times and they've been significantly more expensive than what I currently get through Swann Insurance - although I have been with them for 7 years now.

Classic cover beat any quote I had been given and yes even better than kiwibike, wrote off the TLS was paid out within a week , no issues at all, gear also covered

Had REALLY bad issues with them. Friendly, efficient, organisationally incompetent.

Same for me (when I bothered with insurance), and I had only been with swann for about a year, star before that. And that's having no claims with any of them.

For me...
Sum insured $14K
Premium $601
Excess $500
Roadside assist also..
Protecta.

$300 Cheaper than my previous insurer for the same cover.

Different bike from 2011 but still with Protecta.

The previous insurer was John Baker (Broker)
Get a couple of quotes on full comprehensive insurance, then make your decision.

I would not insure with any company with a rating of less tha "A".

There are two orginaztions with different financial strength ratings by the way, just to confuse the issue.

Protip: if you have a business, and if you don't need cover for things like track days, commercial cover is often very competitive

I havnt been here since I asked the question what is the best insurance here in nz (not originally from here) and after long time of investigation I found a Honda Rider Insurance as the best option (at least works for me) where:

- full cover, premium
- $17.5k bike
- $500 access
- +undeclared rider access $500
- road assistance (and rescue)
- gear covering up to $4k
- insurance applicable for honda race circuit days too

[Banditbandit]

could anyone recommend the best full cover insurance for motorbike?

I experienced that not all insurance companies support all types of bike. So Ducati riders, could u share your experience?

John Baker .. been with them for years - they've been great - very helpful - paid out in full for my last off .. no hassles. I'd highly recommend them.
