Green slip thread

[jace]

So what happened to that green slip sticky that bigdog put up ?:confused1:

I need that number.





.

[Bigdog]

It was removed as they no longer give discounts on CTP greenslips. They were giving us fleet discounts which they cannot do anymore. Sorry about that.

[jace]

Ok, thanks mate.....:ayyy:






.

[Captain]

Let us know if you find any decent value .... mine is due in a few days too.

[gazujc]

Stupid as it sounds I have usedt he GreenslipKing for a few years and always seems to get good value whether it be car or bike.

Last time out on the car we got a better price than the RTA site and after ringing around, not huge saving but a saving and it costs you only a phone call.

[Captain]

Thanks Jake, best price I could get is $ 460, still saved almost $ 40 :ayyy:
At least the rego is cheap (compared to cars anyhow).

EDIT:
:dohsmiley: totally missed your post garry :dohsmiley: thanks anyway.

[SIX36]

Its ludicrous the greenslip cost for a bike, compared to what it covers on the same level as a car etc
How many motorcycle accidents have killed or seriously injured someone else compared to cars, You should be able to have the option of canceling out covering a pillion or not if you never ride with one or don't even have the option on you bike.
This would also be the highest claimed CTP for motorcyclist.

Also explain how if you have more than one bike how the one not being used can injure or kill someone while parked in your garage yet you have to pay a CTP for both or more.


"CTP (Compulsory Third Party) Insurance and Green Slips Explained

Compulsory third party insurance, also known as CTP or Greenslip insurance, is liability insurance that covers injuries or death of another person while you are driving. If you are legally liable for someone else’s injuries from a vehicle accident, CTP will take care of their personal injury claim.
Green slip insurance is important because it protects other people that you might harm, whether the accident is caused by your distraction, falling asleep behind the wheel, or recklessness. It also protects you, as the driver or owner of the vehicle, because it keeps you from paying personal injury claim money from your own pocket. In addition to this type of cover being a good idea, in two states having this policy is the law."

[Dr freedom]

good gawd .. thats a horrid increase. Im with GIO, I paid $360 or $380 for my bike back at the end of Nov, just had a fun run on the calculator & the best I can now see is GIO $415!!

[Captain]

Mr848, you're right, but you forget one aspect of the calculations. Unfortunately, motorcycle riders account for a disproportionate amount of injuries and related expenses, so their premiums reflect this higher 'burden' on the system. For the purpose of the calculations, it's sometimes easier to target the suffering party than those at fault. That's just the way it is.

[dirtyblade]

try GIO just paid mine yesterday. Original greenslip they sent out was $545.00 got it from GIO for $410.00 just go to the MAA calculator in google the site will give you all company prices. Hope this helps!

[Johnny]

Silly question, but how early can one pay for greenslip ?

[SIX36]

Anytime i guess as you can select the start date and for what period i.e 6 or 12 months

[Johnny]

Thanx Mr848


edit...I got time to think about and act on this, so removing whinge on rta.... for now..

[burlo53]

$273 for my Blade with GIO.Twelve months,others are about double.Just got it,pretty good or what?

[Captain]

HOW? They asked a bunch of questions, I cannot imagine how I could get a better rating (besides having a sex change). Then again i don't live in temagog, maybe that's it?

[burlo53]

Your right Cappy,it's maximum security at my place.We in God's country have certain priviliges,cheaper CTP being one.

[Captain]

I had to look up 'temagog'. What do you know, it really does exist :)

Just kidding mate. What do you do out that way? I bet there are nice riding road that way?

[daskip]

AON no longer doing fleet discounts??

[Captain]

I take it the sun is pretty hot on the brain up in Brissie, hey daskip? :lmao:
Just kidding mate. Read the second post in this thread :D

[Pict]

AON was about $400 cheaper for me.. disappointed if they arent around anymore.. :(

[burlo53]

[Nero1]

Got mine through Allianz, last year $368, this year $479.
Allianz is who AON deals with but as said previously they no longer do
fleet discount rates. so my $110 goes in some companies pocket :storm:.

[Bigdog]

I will sticky this thread as it contains some good info. If anyone gets any decent deals please post them up here, preferably with contact details.

[Johnny]

Did the online quote through http://prices.maa.nsw.gov.au/index.html to get best prices, as they show you the 6 cheapest greenslips.. Supposedly.

Then did one through. www.budgetinsurance.com.au, and despite not even making it to the maa site, it worked out almost $100 cheaper than the cheapest.. The margin between the highest and lowest is amazing..


Thanx.. :)

[wade193]

I rang shannons and they will only give you a green slip if you are a current policy holder. The guy said its a QBE green slip anyway.

Australia Post is offering insurance now too. I wonder what they will offer.

[r6destroyer]

For my peace of mind I always pay the extra for nrma Greenslips cause they cover at fault rider. Would suck to crash after a pothole and have 2 pay 4 own medical bills.

Hmm.. I dont think any insurer offers at fault cover for motorcycles?

Notable Exclusions from At Fault Driver Cover
Allianz Motor Bikes.
CIC Allianz Motor Bikes.
GIO Motor Bikes.
NRMA Insurance Motor Bikes.
QBE Motor Bikes.
Zurich Motor Bikes.

If thats the case then no point throwing away cash for it :)

[Yarnie]

i got a greenslip for my ttr250 yesterday with gio for $153, thats max what all bikes should pay.

[spanky158]

Wouldn't the health insurance we pay exorbitant amounts for every month cover your medical bills?

[Johnny]

Just a little more info that may or may not have been posted here..

Blue + Pink slips, are valid for 42 days.
Green slips, 3 months from the date of purchase.

Insurance companies are going cashless, you are punished for being mature enough not to need a credit card, as all ctp insurance now goes through insurance brokers, trying to find a place that will do you a greenslip is difficult to say the least without a credit card,..

Heard that AU post will soon do greenslips at a very competitive price, their own ctp insurance btw..

[Nero1]

It all goes on capacity, once your over 300cc they hammer you.
You got a good price though.

Get a Visa debit card. I have one and just transfer money into that account when I want to use it. That way even if someone gets your number it's no use. :Kat00:

[Roadster]

http://www.budgetgreenslips.com.au/

cheap broker i stumbled across when I was looking for greenslip a month ago.
$480 for a 25 year old with a 500cc bike

[Dave75]

I just ued the rta online calcualator

QBE was cheapest at $477.

[wudka]

Cheapest at this point is Budget Greenslip.

This topic has been helpfull.

Cheapest through RTA website $487

Greenslip King $487 (appears they used the RTA site)

Budget Greenslips $436

Australia Post only have car inusrance at this point.

The quotes are for a 29yo male, CBR 1000 RR. Garaged in the city (sydney).

[PlatinumGrit]

From Valuegreenslips.com.au:

$ 405.00 is your CTP Green Slip Quote for your 1989 Honda Bros 400, for 12 months including GST and MCIS Levies.

You can pay for your CTP Greenslip by:
1. Going to our website: http://www.valuegreenslips.com.au

etc.

Prior to that, ING/QBE was the cheapest at $477.

[jase954]

I just rego'd my car... 680 for greenslip, 280 for the rta, plus about 30 for pink slip... pretty much a grand. love this state.

Does anyone have some lube? i've got bike rego comng up very quickly, and it looks like its only gonna be more expensive... OUCH!:crysmiley:

[rumz]

$487 for the blade,,, Budget is cheaper at $436...

[r6destroyer]

First off its been 5 years since i bought a greenslip 4 a bike, and yes now i agree that no company will cover at fault rider. I just paid 537 from budget purely because i only had 3hrs to get it done and they are located next to my nearest rta.

Here is the breakdown
Premium 347
GST 35
MCIS Levies 155
total 537

Typed underneath
Medical Care and Injury Services levies- The levies fund ambulance, hospital, life time care and other services for people injured in motor viechle accidents.:confused1: WTF

[r6destroyer]

one more thing, This was the cheapest price for a bike that needed a blue slip. They charge more because there is no registration number and imho, because they can.:cursing:

WTF indeed, isnt that like a tax on a tax on a tax? :confused1:

so if i have my own ambulance cover does that mean i get a discount? :rules:

[Schtevo]

If you have comprehensive insurance through Shannon's then you should call them when your CTP is due.

They do their CTP through GIO but the funny thing is my GIO renewal was $439 and Shannon's did it for $376.....

This is for the Daytona, garaged in Newy with youngest rider 35 and all riders 100% clean licences

[Ed_GSXR]

$381 with GIO :)

Saved $200 for 15 minutes work.

Only trouble with Shannons is they can only post it out to you... As I needed one sooner (well I didnt but thats me... Mr Impatient), I went NRMA for 477 ..... Just mentioning this for others who can pre plan..... and save $100

[laidback]

I recently renewed my ZX9 with GIO - $257 (have full comp so a lot cheaper) . Must be ol fart discount.

[stunva]

GSXR750 K7 under 20yr rider$505 GIO, limber up.

[trumpst]

Just renewed mine today- 955 sprint, 'over 25' rider- $298.00. Strange thing was the online quote was $350.00- rang them direct . Don't take the online quote and just pay it!

[Schtevo]

You might have old info there Oggy - they did mine electronically then mailed me out a hard copy....

[*Oggy*]

You might have old info there Oggy - they did mine electronically then mailed me out a hard copy....

Jeeze... No not old info... just wrong info then... I phoned Shannons on thursday to see about getting both Greenslip and Fully comp with them as I told them I was getting a Blue slip the next day...... Grrr so the guy at the end of the phone cost me $100.... Are you saying by electronic, thet you could of gone into the RTA an hour later and whilst doing the rego, their system showed up that you have shannona green slip ????

[Johnnie5]

Just a little more info that may or may not have been posted here..

greenslips you can get at most bike shops and usually anyone that does rego inspections so its easy to just go and pay cash

[Schtevo]

Are you saying by electronic, thet you could of gone into the RTA an hour later and whilst doing the rego, their system showed up that you have shannona green slip ????

That's exactly what I'm saying... but it showed up as a GIO greenslip because Shannons are doing their greenslips as an agent of GIO, because of their policy of only doing bikes they have a compo policy on and their tight standards to get a compo policy they are doing it cheaper than GIO direct.....

So yes - the guy who didn't explain it well cost you $100

[WHITTNEY]

value green slips online is by far the cheapest green slip available. for example qbe quoted me $689 for my k1200r and vgs done it for $488 !

[Lets Torque]

Seems like GIO is the go for CTP at the moment..it was $200 cheaper than some of the closest rivals for my bike.... These prices are still bullshit...it is nearly the same price as the CTP for my ute:(

[afungy]

Ditto, GIO is the best by far. Just renew my 2007CBR600RR. ValueG quote $488, CIC $496. Rang GIO, it's only $389.

[John-Bikes]

You'll want to move to the country (Orange NSW), GIO for my R6 and the FZ1 $298 :ayyy:

But i'm an old fart at 44.

JB

[Naked Twin]

Well GIO can get stuffed. I rang them for a quote as I insure my car through them. This is what I was told when I rang as I couldn't do an online quote for some reason, don't ask me why.

The rate for me is $660 due to the fact that I don't fully insure my bike. I don't fully insure my bike as it is a repairable write off and isn't worth the hassle of proving the value and the insurance company only covering what wasn't damaged originally or has been repaired, which you have to have receipts for. Bike is not worth that much (only $6K to put it on the road). Supposedly people who don't fully insure are a greater risk, to whom I asked as CTP protects the person I hit or any passengers traveling with me. Sorry sir that is how it is maybe ring around. Or maybe I will just cancel my car policy and go elsewhere.

CTP is complete fucking rort!

[CJtheBastard]

Ask what are they doing about it.
Ask why the split of capacities is so obviously designed to gouge the maximum amount out of Motorcyclists

Anyone else seen this great video regarding the CTP?

[Chappie]

The following Press Release has been issued by the Motorcycle Council of NSW. If you can attend the protest meeting on Tuesday 31st August, that would be great. If you could print this information off and pass it on to other riders, thanks.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Office workers, mums, dads, motorcycles and scooters
to converge on Parliament

Changes to the NSW Compulsory Third Party (CTP) scheme on July 1st this year, saw motorcycle and scooter riders slugged with outrageous price increases. Some riders are facing increases of nearly 100%. This is despite a dramatic decrease in fatalities since 1995. Car drivers are now also beginning to question the CTP scheme.

•FACT: In 1995 there were 8.9 motorcycle fatalities per 10,000 registered motorcycles in NSW.

•FACT: In 2008 there were 3.7 motorcycle fatalities per 10,000 registered motorcycles in NSW.

There are almost 168,000 registered motorcycles in NSW and half a million motorcycle licence holders. There are more motorcycles and scooters on the road than ever and the road toll is going down. “With more bikes on our roads, we will continue to see a marked reduction in congestion, pollution and parking problems, especially in major cities like Sydney” the Chairman of the Motorcycle Council of NSW (MCC of NSW), Rob Colligan stated today. “But instead of promoting greener transport, motorcycles and scooters are being financially driven off the roads with massive increases in CTP premiums.”

The MCC of NSW is therefore calling upon all motorcycle and scooter owners, along with motorcycle industry representatives to converge on Parliament House at 12 noon on August 31st to protest this unfair and unjustified money-grab on one of the greenest forms of transport on our roads. “It is time for our political leaders to come clean on why they do not recognize motorcycles and scooters as unique and independent road users, instead of treating us as some sort of small car or some sort of problem,” Colligan said. “The Motorcycle Council of NSW would like to apologise to the people of Sydney for any inconvenience our protest may cause, but it is time for us all to stand up and be counted.”

The MCC of NSW has invited the Premier of NSW to address the protest, yet only the Shadow Minister for Roads, Andrew Stoner, has accepted the invitation. “The government can ensure insurance company profits do not undermine the CTP scheme and it is time for the Kenneally Government to answer to the people of NSW the hard question, of what is wrong with our CTP Scheme.” Colligan said.

[jase954]

Not strictly bike related, but most of us drive aswell...

I just rego'd my car and found out that greenslip prices have gone up quite substantially... it is now $830 for me, im 25 and only paid about $680 last year. Guess what.. Medicare levy has now been introduced to cars, confirmed by NRMA and AAMI. RTA fees have also gone up, im paying $300 there. So for a vehicle i use 2 days a week at best im paying over $1100... This state sucks, can we do a car protest drive on wednesday!?

[kritas]

NRMA wanted $1850 for me to greenslip my little bubble car, aged 19 and on my L's.....
Load of shit, my mate greenslipped his camry for $800 and he's in the same boat as I am....

[Blurr]

I just greensliped my zx10r with Allianz for $370 for the 12months. Couldnt believe it, I thought I was going to get reemed.

That is easily the cheapest I have paid ever. And I am only 29 so I guess it may only get better

[DAVID]

Nrma $526

[nickn]

Lets see now, my cars ctp is $480/1600 KGS= $0.30 a kilo. My bike $570/210kg=$2.71 a kilo. My cars weighs nearly 8 times as much as my bike but by weight my bike is 9 times more expensive. According to Gov 210kg bike into 1600kg car is 9 times more likely to hurt the car driver but not the rider. What are these party clowns smoking in Macquarie street. I will happily donate my bike and car so that Kenneally can ride my bike head on into my car at 100 kph and test that theory of theirs.

Bike 13k
Car 40k
The smile on my face when she hits. Priceless.

[Boss]

I went to join the other 1000's of riders at the CTP Protest @ State Parliament but apart from a platitude or two there has been little feedback.

Whole of CTP and tolls issues should be based on incidents/costs and usage statistics that are clear and public - yet none of this seems available, certainly not on the MCC NSW website or PR or the RTA NSW sites.
Need these administrators to be more aware of the need to know, justify and communicate.

[AJC]

Nrma $526

I ride a Triumph Speed Triple 1050. Age 31.

Shannons - approx $460
GIO - approx $480

Others high $500's some into the $600's

Man it hurts, especially when I hardly get to ride the bloody bike!

On my calcs it make it about $25 per ride.

I should also add, I have been driving/riding since 17 - no at fault claims, no accident history ever.

[Rapid Mick]

Still can't work out why there's a $150 cost difference between western Sydney and central western NSW...

It's legal to live in the country and maintain a PO box in Sydney metropolitan area :ayyy:

[spamanglenn]

hayafrigginbusa green slip $716-884.not real happy,i gotta pay to run it at the strip with andra,ive gotta pay big time to just ride it on the road.
Might just take up engine building methinks.

[Mr.Ed]

I literally just renewed the greenslip on my ute (6mths only) 5min ago online and found that using www.valuegreenslips.com.au was DEFINITELY a good idea as it went from $447 with QBE to $292!! :D

There's an easy solution to this issue; Ride more often!

Intantly you're getting better value for money AND having a better life; double bonus.

[Bigdog]

Looks like green slips for motorcycles will be (mostly) coming down next year.
No such luck for owners of 1126 to 1325cc machines though.

[CJtheBastard]

Dear all,
Please see below for the press release from Minister Greg Pearce’s office today announcing the reduction in CTP for riders.
Riders finally get a win after the MAA grows a spine and stands up to the Insurers. As the MCC had advised riders previously, renew you rego for 6 months as prices would drop from 1 Jan and the proof is now in the pudding. This has been a long hard slog by many, many people to redress an injustice done to riders across the state of NSW and it would appear that the new Government is indeed listening and acting upon the concerns of NSW citizens. A round of applause to all those who have worked so hard and so long on this and a pat on the back to all the riders that attended the CTP Protest rally in August 2010 and all those that maintained the pressure thought the letter writing campaigns as well. This shows that you all can change the world. The MCC will continue to work with the MAA on the CTP working group in order to elicit more reductions where possible.

MOTORBIKE GREEN SLIP PRICES SLASHED

Minister for Finance and Services Greg Pearce today said that the average Compulsory Third Party (CTP) or Green Slip price for motorbikes will fall by up to 19 per cent on 1 January 2012 after the NSW Government conducted an audit of prices.

“This is a great win for motorcyclists who for too long have been paying Green Slip premiums out of step with the risks associated with riding a motorbike,” Mr Pearce said.

“The average CTP prices across the different classes of bikes will fall on January 1 by up to 19 per cent,” he said.

“The NSW Government has listened to the community and worked with insurers to reach an outcome that better reflects the activity.

“Of the five motorbike classes all but one will see substantial decreases. But good riders in the 1126 to 1325CC class can still save almost $350 simply by shopping around for the best price among the insurers.

AVERAGE BEST PRICE FOR MOTORBIKE CTP ACROSS THE SEVEN INSURERS
CLASS Jan-11 Jan-12 Change ($) Change (%)
225 CC $194 $157 -$37 -19.1%
226 to 725 CC $407 $336 -$71 -17.4%
726 to 1125 CC $597 $513 -$84 -14.1%
1126 to 1325 CC $773 $802 $29 3.8%
1326 CC + $687 $596 -$91 -13.2%

“I strongly urge all riders to use the CTP calculator on the MAA website at http://www.greenslips.nsw.gov.au to get a better deal,” Mr Pearce said.

The Green Slip reduction for motorcyclists comes on top of news earlier in the week that the NSW Government had stopped insurers trying to increase the CTP prices for motorists by up to 15%, saving families up to $57 next year.

"The NSW Government is committed to ensuring that CTP prices are reasonable and any change in price is warranted.

“It is the reason we are conducting a review of CTP prices focusing on insurer profits and costs, transparency in legal costs for injured people, and Green Slip pricing.

“The outcomes of this review will provide the platform for an improved system that better meets the needs of motorists,“ Mr Pearce said.

I went to join the other 1000's of riders at the CTP Protest @ State Parliament but apart from a platitude or two there has been little feedback.

Whole of CTP and tolls issues should be based on incidents/costs and usage statistics that are clear and public - yet none of this seems available, certainly not on the MCC NSW website or PR or the RTA NSW sites.
Need these administrators to be more aware of the need to know, justify and communicate.
Boss, I'll take your comments on board good sir.
I am sorry you guys aren't gettign the information you need but needless to say, a lot of people ahve been working hard to fix this CTP thing.
We ahve been sending out regular newsletters to the delegates for each site and club and we are starting a newsletter list for individuals.
If you want on to the list email me at chairman@mccofnsw.org.au and I will sort it out.

I just used the MAA green slip comparison and returned a price of $375.12 from GIO for my 2010 FZ1 (1000cc) for 2012.

Things are indeed looking up :)
