Patchelicious Posted February 10, 2016 Share Give King Price a call. Bike insurance for UP TO R50k = R1For every car you insure with them you can add 1 x Bicycle to the value of R50k for a R1 premium. http://www.kingprice.co.za/One-Rand-Insurance.aspxIf you can afford a R50k bike you are probably earning ok, meaning you probably have more than 2 brain cells. So use them. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Edge540, Stoffel76 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to said something similar, but thought that it may be a bit unprofessional due to my bias. But you can say it as it is, and you do.(hehe) Sometimes, something's need to be said blunt.

Spoke101 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Interesting, previous people were warning each other to stay away from Outsurance. What became of the guys in Durban, their prices were good, but looking deeper into their policy their excess and the way it was calculated was scary.

awesme Posted February 11, 2016 Share Shocked.... Are people aware... First 10% or min R (amount per claim amount) is your excess. consider in todays age, of no foul of your own, bikes are stolen, criminals already took advantage of you, stole say your wife' and your bike, combined insured value, easily R100 000+ (at time of purchase). Now the insurance company is will only pay at max R90 000, first 10% is your problem...Now bikes are getting more expensive, so a year later you will easily have a replacement value of R120 000, taking prices increased and the Rand/$ seeing it's ass... Leaving you R30k short. Read, Understand those Annexe's, those Excess amounts, and work out what it actually means.

Secondly I update my insured values once or twice a year depending on exchange rates. awesme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's 5%, sometimes it's a fixed excess, sometimes it's capped. All depends on how you've structured your policy and the company you're dealing with.

leeubok Posted April 13, 2016 Share I'm with A&G. Bike insured for 40k, paying about R270 a month. Seems from the above comments I could probably get it cheaper somewhere else. Will phone around for a few quotes. Strange thing with A&G they never asked for the make or model or any other info. Just the value. I've got it with my home content but as a specified portable possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markellis Posted April 26, 2016 Share Just received the below regarding Santam: Good day Sir Unfortunately does Santam not provide cover for your mountain bike only. Cover will only provide if there is house contents and a vehicle on the policy. Hope this is in order. Any brokers here that want some business please Pm me Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
