Don't think these are the right ones to go with if you read the PDF file eg If someone hits you and they are not insured this lot will pay you $3k :shock: also the "after market accessories part is somewhat weird as most of these things are bog standard these days :? :? Have a read...

We emailed them asking for a phone number so we could talk to a them but the response was that they could only be dealt with online. We haven't had to make a claim so I can't comment any further on that. But I am happy with my decision to give them a go.

Dot ask Tanks if he would recommend KT after how they handled his claim when he was at 40 Mile.
I know what his answer will be.

Yeah I know Tanks wasn't too impressed with the TK mileage thing and also we have to consider that neither of us are mechanically minded so I reckon we bite the bullet and go with the devil we know as right now we have a car in the garage we can't use as not insured. (this was for the car insurance and IF anything really nasty happens we do get a hire car so it was KT today Thanks to all for their responses.

"tanks" here---
I would recommend Ken Tame and his lot.
The $600 towing cap was a very fair amount.
I had quotes from tow companies from $800 up to $3,600, and no doubt if I had left it to Ken Tame to organise the tow they may have been given a lower quote from a towing company, however I had the rush to get the Sprinter on the way to Perth so I accepted a pick-up/loading time in 30 minutes--a bit of a rush-- but the alternative for the much lower quote was loading in 4 days time when the drop deck trailer would be available in Karratha.
I AM VERY PLEASED WITH KEN TAME .
I have had another recent claim for a broken large side window on the Sprinter and no problem; Just pay the $100 excess and have the repair invoice sent direct to the office.
The deal so far:---A new Fiams 45-S Awning, the 1,600 km tow to Perth, the broken window.I would like to believe that I won't have any further claims for a while.
I am well ahead on this policy !
My premium payment for the year cover is $700 odd,
YES, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND KEN TAME.

Keith that's what I was getting at, I thought you got a good deal, how many other insurance companies pay for towing to repair engines.

Yes Jim did the Youi thing and they were all within $20 of each other at $540.
KT came in at $460 so he got the job but will be checking every year.
