how much increase? <i></i>

[BUSGO]

I have been with Arista Over 40s for a few years and have never had to claim. I paid $598 incl GST last year for $12,500 agreed value.

My bike was knocked over a couple of years ago and they said they would fix it if the offender's insurance didn't pay, but they did. So all was cool.

shannons increase its rates by 90%

mind you i went from rating 1 to rating 3 due to sidestand giving way. <i></i>

after being insured with shannons for 5 years they decided to increase my ins. by $255 this is with an agreed value 2500 more than last busa. quoted $911 ,rang QBE <i></i>

[paul]

whoops ,hit thewrong key. QBE bettered shannons quote by $100,rang arista they quoted $613.01 for $21250 agreed value policy. their getting my money this time.I have found it pays to shop around every year when renewing ins. <i></i>

Same as you Paul - had shannons and they increased from $670 to $915 for no forseeable reason, Arista $676 has a few less benefits but for $300 bucks i can live with it.

Loyalty to insurance companies means nothing anymore - it's an open marketplace.

My insurance went down with shannons. With a new bike no less....

Has anyone elses premiums gone down? There just seems to be alot of people saying they have gone up and a rediculous amount at that.. <i></i>

I dumped Arista last year because of there price hikes, 4 years I was with them and no claims, but it kept going up, swaped over to shannons with about $4g extra cover and it was a bit cheaper, if they keep going up I'll just go 3rd party

I changed from Arista last year as they were a couple of hundred dearer than QBE and they changed their underwriter to a firm I had never heard of. QBE on the other hand paid out within 3 weeks when I wrote the Black and Silver off in 2004.

I am obliged to reinsure the black and grey on Monday.  QBE agreed value this year was $25k for $996.  The re insure notice says the agreed value is now $22k and the cost is $961.
I'm going to ring  them Monday and push the insured amount back passed $25k as I am still spending money on her, ask Ray and Glenno! and see where we go from there.  I'll be calling Arista as well to get a price from them. It never hurts to play them off against each other!:devil:

These insurance guys are amazing.

I have a quote for the $25k insurance from QBE = $1055.

I rang Arista and ended up speaking to a sheila with the worst attitude and flatest monotone voice in the world - "xcuse me is there any life on the plaet you come from woman?" Just about o unload on her and she said the magic figures - $658.38, full cover for 12 months.
At that stage she could have been the Ripper and I'd have excused her for voicing such low figures at me. I had to get a valuation and flick it to them before they'd do it though.
Rang QBE and invited a responce while questioning why they were ripping me off for 400 schmackerrosters? Immediate response after looking at my file - match that for you Mr Max. Done!
Rang Action and was told Swann draws the line on Bling attachments at $3k - cheap or what!

QBE wins the bike insurance war for another year at my place. Wonder if they'll insure my car as well?

Last year I changed from QBE to Arista over 40's, saved nearly $200 and bike still has a great AGREED value.

[Monyx]

I'll await my renewal due in May from QBE..36yo 1st time bike insurance last year (Max NCB on car) was $695 for K5, market value,named rider and <8k kms etc.

[Busdriver]

I don't need insurance. My bike never goes anywhere...........well lately anyway.

But as soon as I cancel it some one will knock it over in the garage while I'm away.
