insurance

[100milesaway]

 After many years, and countless squandered pound notes I now just punch my details into MCN compare, press the go button, and the one that comes out cheapest gets my business. In the cold light of the day I have found that there is very little/or no difference in any of them regarding the cover they give. It's all about brokers margins at the end of the day.

I tried today on two comparison sites to obtain a quote, because I have a private plate both threw Wobblies as to what bike I had, eventually one even said that I could not have purchased it in Sep 2011, which I did, so much for them wanting my cash.

My insurance company tried to charge me £88 to adjust my insurance when I transfered my personalised number onto my GTR. They implied that the bike was more of an insurance risk with a personalised plate, which is utter bull , I argued that the reverse was actually the case.

In the past I had never been charged more than £30 (admin charge) at the most.....of course I politely gave them a few home truths and they immediately reduced the charge to £40. which is still daylight bloody robbery

Wow, that strikes me as very good. My GTR, ZX10R and a Triumph always cost me £800+ on a single policy, no matter how much I look around. Same no claims and IAM as you, but maybe my 39 years young marks me out as a high risk hellraiser  ;D

[Lonewolf]

£140 for the GTR on its own? Thats a very good price, was that with Carol Nash?

[barnyardsavage]

no it was with swinton using highway i think it even made me think about selling the ten

My insurance is due in June, I'll have 6 years no claims this time round and hopefully will have completed my Rospa assessment by then which may help on the renewal fee.

Got my renewal off bennets at £230 ( £210) last year. Went onto the gomeerkatscompare site and bennets were showing £152 for same policy with same spec. Went back on the other day and bennets were not showing anymore , so i phoned them and explained the mismatch( leading them to believe it was still active ) they checked it and they renewed for me at £152.

manc postcode, 600 total excess , 90 day euro cover, 9 years NCB , garage secure.

Ok I think for such a big bike

Viper, you do right I dont blame you for making sure you get the best deal to suit.

[O.C.]
