Got my reminder, phoned up, asked if that was their best quote, and after about 30 seconds, they re-quoted £50 less. The morale of this storey is ' don't accept first quote' shop around guys. Mine is with Carole Nash. Best 10p phone call i ever made xx

Always the same, thieving swines, I always get multiple quotes every renewal.

I aint rich so I must have been a fool as I always used to just renew without question. It was just easier this way...not any more though, I always shop around these days.

[O.C.]

It definitely pays to shop around..I just saved nearly £200.00 on my car insurance !!!

And got a fee Meerkat in the bargain  ;D

How much are you guys paying? Area? (A to F) Age? I've got my 2011 GTR and my GSX-R 1000 for less than 300 with Adelaide had to drop value to 10k. Area C I think, 51, garage about 7 years no claims, IAM RoSPA

Dont know about area code, but my post code is DL8, 10 years no claims, garaged, 64, 500 sqid excess, value 12 grand,(1st sept 011) 011 bike, 204 . 14p. And I never renew without giving them some lip, and playing one off against the others. :)

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

Martin.

[O.C.]

I'm insured with Highway through MCE..fully comp SD&P for £163.24, named rider + pillion, I have 9+ years no claims, Bike is securely garaged, my age is 60..RAC roadside rescue is included as is continental travel. No protected NCD.

They did try and rip me off £88.13 to transfer my personalised plate onto the bike, which I 'negoyiated' down to £43.13  >:(

[100milesaway]

Yes Martin its plainly obvious that you are a daft ,young madman looking to splatter yourself against the scenery and cost your insurance company millions. ::) ;)

I've just gone through the same agonising process. I have 3 bikes, 1990 GSXR 1100 (had this 18yrs) 2002 XR650R and my 2011 GTR. The renewal was £782 with Aviva. I'm in an ok postcode and get police advanced biker discount, which is worth a few bob. All are fully comp, datatagged and alarmed and I'm 42 Aviva is through carole nash.

I called bennets, they wouldnt quote because 2 high risk bikes on one policy is a no, GSXR and XR are high risk. GTR on its own they said was £93. WTF? GTR is worth 12k being only 4 months old, GSRX 2k and xr 2k.

Ebike quoted £595.

Phoned Carole Nash back and Aviva wouldnt budge, they put through a specialist quote for low risk riders but high risk bikes.....£565 with the usual breakdown etc.

Funny thing is in the renewal carole nash said this was their cheapest and best quote...........the fibbing gits.

Pays to phone. ebike was on tintrenet and was good value with a good site.

I am in the A category of insurance and always get Internet quotes and for the last three years quite carol has been cheaper via the internet so that's where I go, last year the letter came with the policy asking for proof of no claims bonus and who it was with so I called then to say "it's with you".

Had to pay £70 to the current policy which was a sprint in Sep so will be interesting to see what deals are around in March for a 55 year old with no points come out at.

Scotty, I have a couple of classic bikes insured here

http://www.peterjamesinsurance.co.uk/

I've always found them to be very helpful and competitively priced, if you are stuck they could be worth trying 

Good luck
