Wrapping up our Transmoto Enduro series sponsorship journey for the year, National Motorcycle Insurance proudly entered two teams in the recent Macleay Valley, NSW event. National Motorcycle Insurance is proud to be the Official Insurance Partner of the Transmoto Enduro series and was represented at the Macleay Valley event by NM Insurance team members Tim Baker, Steve Cap, Shelly Eshman Myhill, Peter Mant and Chris Bailey.

The event took place on a dedicated 17km motorcycle racing loop, set among damp trees. Dust only became an issue later in the day as the track wore down. On the Saturday, Shelly represented our brand in the 3-hour Women’s Ride, setting a fantastic example for her two daughters in attendance. The National Motorcycle Insurance Juniors Loop also took place, showcasing the sport’s bright future with a strong turnout of young riders.

In Sunday’s 8-hour endurance race, both teams pushed hard, achieving top 5 finishes in their respective classes – an outcome we’re proud of as riders and as a business. If you have a passion for enduro and there’s a Transmoto 8-Hour event in your area next year, we highly recommend checking it out. These events are well-run, inclusive, and offer a great social atmosphere. See you on the tracks in 2025!

As we’re progressing through the busy season, we’re thrilled to share that some exciting updates to our quoting platform are underway and set to launch early next year!

Once this new site is released, the platform will streamline the quoting process with features including: Providing instant quotes for Motorhome and Caravan customers for faster processing, easy online purchasing for successful quotes, and easier navigation to help you locate previous quotes.

This new system will enhance efficiency, helping you provide seamless coverage for your clients and offering them peace of mind. We look forward to sharing more updates with you as we prepare to roll out these exciting changes early next year!

It’s important to note that new motorcycle models released earlier this year in mid-2024, while manufactured in 2024, are MY25 models.

NM Insurance ensures the most up-to-date motorcycle data is uploaded into the quoting platforms based on the monthly data received from Glasses Guide. Therefore, every month, the total amount of motorcycles which can be quoted increases.

As users of our quoting platform, it’s important to be aware that the asset you are looking to quote on may be a MY25 series. As we haven’t entered 2025 yet, this type of asset may be available and appear in the year 2024 (if provided by Glasses Guide).

Summer is here, and many of us will be out on the water, soaking up the sun and enjoying our time. It’s also a perfect time for customers to take their Personal Watercraft (PWC) for a spin or to consider the purchase of a new PWC. Here are some quick facts about PWCs and the insurance options we provide:

• Nautilus Marine Insurance has its own PWC insurance product, with policy wording separate from that of a pleasure craft policy.
• NM Insurance provides Kawasaki-branded Jet Ski insurance, featuring its own standalone wording separate from our normal PWC policy wording, available through the Kawasaki dealer network.
• The Nautilus Marine Insurance PWC policy provides two cover options with a range of additional and optional benefits if customers select comprehensive cover.
• The Nautilus Marine Insurance PWC policy provides customers with the option to lay-up their PSC for the months of their choice, helping to reduce their premium.
• Any PWC sold by a dealer, whether new or used, receives two years of agreed value coverage from the dealership purchase date.
• Multiple skis can be bundled into a fleet policy. If you have a client purchasing two skis and they wish to keep them on the same trailer, we can accommodate this. The procedure is as follows:

Input one of the PWCs, along with all customer details, into the appropriate calculator. This will generate the necessary documents for the customer and ensure that distributors ask the correct questions.

Once this information has been entered, contact the Customer Engagement team on 1300 780 533, having the reference number and details of the second PWC on hand. The Customer Engagement team operator will take the required details from you and, shortly after, provide you with a fleet policy quote via email, along with instructions on how to complete the process, either in full or through Arteva funding, should your client wish to proceed.

If it has been a while since you last used the Nautilus Marine quoting platform, please reach out to your local BDM for a refresher on the procedure and product.
