Arista - Bike insurance. Anyone heard of them?

[dugy]

I'm currently trying to get bike insurance.

A mate mentioned "Arista". They're $210 cheaper (at $440) than the next lowest quote.

But has anyone heard any good/bad reports about them?

I can't find anything on them on the net.

Yes, i've heard of them. But havent heard what they are like when you make a claim. You must have had your full license for more than 12 months to get insurance with them, and you must be over 25.

Here's their web site...

I dunno how good they when (if) it comes to payouts.. I believe they're based over east.

Never heard of them, but then again I've only ever heard of SGIO, Alianz and Swan =)

Thanks for the info and the web-address.

Tossing up between them and Arista and Swann. (have heard good reports about Swann)

In case anyone's interested:

Results of todays ring-around: For a '99 TRX850 for $6500 (I'm 26)

Minor problem: I lost licence for 3 months in 2000/2001. They frown on that a bit.

W-QBE: $655

Swann: $479

Arista: $442

Shannons: Refused. Only want weekend "Enthusiasts". (If you ride everyday your not motorbike enthusiast?) :?

RAC: $1300 (The girl on the phone actually cracked up laughing when the price came on her screen.)

SGIO: $1307

Yeah I'm 20, for a 95 cbr 6 which is worth around $6k, got one from SGIO which was like, $2,400 .. or was it 2,7.. either way, rediculous. No loss of licence or anything when I enquired about that.

when u speak to any unknown insurance company ask them who underwrites them. even rac is underwriteen by somebody else(ie they are insured)

there are a few companies over east that just do m/c insurance you just have to do the ring around :roll:
