Guys,

I just rang 4 companies for my 92 zzr600

AAMI - $618
RACV - $572
Swann - $502
Shannons - WOULDN'T Farkin Insure me cos I hav't had Full comp Insurance B4 on a bike BARSTARDS...

I can't find Arista???

Funny thing is that a ZZR is classed as a sports bike....? and Shannons called it a Large Capacity Bike...lol

So My Question is who is better to deal with??? as in results from claims, helpfullness etc.

cheers

tape...

mate
I use Swann
and as a recent user of their claims services
they were pretty good, assessor gave the go ahead just about straight away
and
they coughed up for a new helmet immediately
and they are cheap..for me!
premium..? less than $200 a year and that includes helmet cover for max $500 with a bike covered for just over $4large
excess on any claim is $400
and
at PI you saw the repair job..your choice of repairer is included
and they covered everything from the pickup of the bike to the paintjob

I have used Swanns claims dept twice in the past 7 years ....
no complaints here
and my claims rating has not changed either....
hth

cheers

Go here for Arista: http://www.icfrith.com.au/html/FirstChoice.cfm
But your swann price looks cheaper than I got from them for my 98 zzr - $554

Response from Arista after my accident was good. No pussy-footing around.
ty

you forgot western qbe

I'd like to throw another in the ring, Famous Classic Car Insurance.

Thats who covered my 03 636. Called them on the Monday after my off and exactly 2 weeks later I'm on an 05 636 with a brand new helmet too, out of pocket expenses $400.00 excess.

They even covered my Micron pipe (supplying a new one for the 05).

The yearly Premium was $795.00 (on rating one) which was the cheapest I could find down here by about $200.00

Ph: 1300 88 60 29

Western QBE offered the best price for my 9 and for Cath's 6

NRMA....don't laugh but they have the best price I have found for us under 30's. It probably helps that I have 2 cars, the bike and my house and contents with them...the multi policy discount does add up. I have only made 1 claim and I dropped the bike off the Thur before Easter and the assessor looked at it the following Tues. He approved it on the spot then it took the bloody shop 6 weeks to get the bike back to me. Not going there again.

Be careful of those that look cheaper - they may only do market value and not agreed value.
I know Arista and Swann do agreed value. The others may too but be careful.

I always had everything with NRMA ... car, contents, old ZZR's, etc.

This year the car insurance went up about 20-25% (on a 75 series diesel landcruiser). A guy from work copped a 25% increase on the premium for his BM, and the clincher was a quote of, get this $2052.25 (after a 65% NCB) to insure the 9 The only one worse was GIO who will not offer more than a 20% NCB on bikes regardless of your history

Im going with Swann for one reason....they insure the bike at agreed value....My 91 GPX250R has a book value of only $2500....whereas the condition that its in makes it a $4000 bike...(just my opinion)....so if I lost it I want to replace it with something as good or better.....

for me GBE wanted $209 at market value whereas Swann want $419 at agreed and I get that through Brighton Kawasaki....is better for me i reckon

$348 through Swann for a '98 ZZR600, insured value $8500

As far as I can tell, this is the ONLY good thing about being 40.

...although I think having the bike locked up nightly and living in the middle of nowhere helped lowering the premium as well.

Mick,

I am 40 and trying to insure a 92 ZZR600 at $4700 value and swann want $502... I live outskirts of Melb. .... Craigieburn, so WTF's the diff. must be too cold to steal bikes in Macedon Ranges????



I dunno

i've got my zzr insured with Swann for agreed value of $5K for $224. The zx7r is with suncorp initially for $690 but after i dropped it last year they changed my rating and upped it to $750. Pretty good really, I was very happy with the srevice they gave reference the repairs and i did have the option to choose my own repairer.
