Title: insurance renewal/quote
Post by: tapps on December 14, 2017, 09:52:32 PM
i've just had my renewal on my insurance through the posts have been with the same broker for the past 5 year's.
i have the following extra's

no claims discount
legal expensises
breakdown
personal accident
helmet & leathers
arrangement fee

at a grand total of £838.50

i am absolutely disgusted at the amount they are after am 58 years, soon to be 59,not had an accident or claimed for over 15 year's, i even have a clean license,i have multi bike cover as i own a kawasaki gtr1400 & a triumph thruxton 900,which are both garaged.maybe time to look elsewhere.rip off pile of  :shit:so much for being a loyal costumer.

Never be loyal. Shop round every year. Get your best quote and you might  find original insurer will match it.

:agree:

Loyalty (with insurers) will cost you. It's an upside down world, sometimes.

Its literally an insurance policy that pays out the equivalent of your motor XS IF the claim exceeds the excess amount.

I use https://www.goodbyeexcess.com/ (https://www.goodbyeexcess.com/)
