Looking for the best deal in Fully Comp insurance (43 yr old full No Claims) can anyone suggest any Companies?
Usually Swann Insurance gives the best deal in WA, i have no quote as they only give you a figure via a dealer.

Thanks,

I'm with Western QBE, not much in it price wise for me, but they gave my claim prompt attention after an accident a couple of years ago so I've stuck with them.
Others are Swann, and Arista. You may also get a quote from Shannons but they don't usually deal with modern (sports type) bikes. A mate has a late model Harley insured with them and got them to cover his BMW K1200RS as well. They may have restrictions on use/mileage.

pominoz,
I was with swann but suncorp were cheaper for me this time. I am 45 years old also no claims. It will pay to call around.

GIO for me. When I was picking up my bike at the dealer he asked who I was with and said that his insurance companies could definitely not compete. I was quoted $950ish for $18,000 agreed price with GIO, his two companies couldn't go lower than $1200ish for $16000.

I`m with Suncorp, was cheaper for me than western qbe and arista over 40`s. I also got 10% additional discount because the car and the boat are insured with Suncorp as well. I`d still shop around though because it might not be cheapest for you. I know that some insurance companies will adjust the premiums depending on the theft risk in the suburb that the bike is kept in, so theoretically if I moved 2km into the next postcode, it could change my premium and Suncorp might not be the cheapest any more.

Thanks for all the feedback.
I'll have a phone around.
Shame no company can give the Triumph a discount! :wink:

Arista over 40 was cheapest for me - agreed value $14000 for just under $600, Category 1 comp.

And the best local mech reckons they're the best to deal with - no arguments.

Ok i've phoned for a few quotes:
1. QBE - $544 (You get 5% Discount if a RAT member)
Excess $400. Theft Excess $799. $16K
This seems pretty good & i wonder who'll beat this, i also remember them being quite efficient when i decided to part company with my CBR 600 a few years ago!

2. SGIO - $2592

3.RAC - $3246

Will look up Suncorp & Arista - Thanks.
