Guest Guest Posted May 14, 2011 bikeinsurer is a good broker (aka tesco). Bikesure are good for modded bikes, ebike are cheap too... always shop about. Had a mad rant at halifax when I had insurance with them for the car, they bumped it up and I said I had all my cards, accounts etc with them and hand't claimed and said is that how you repay customer loyalty. I switched. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpyowl 0 Posted May 14, 2011 Shop arond every year no discounts for loyalty Lee.I'll be doing my bike in June wont ring them to match best quote, if they take the piss just cancell and stuff them.Just had similar with house insurance renewal nearly £400 got B&C for just over £200. phoned and cancelled renewal cheeky gits asked why changing told them could get same cover for half the price, they said theyd match It, told the to get stuffed should have given best quote first and not take the piss just hoping I'd pay.

Grumpyowl 0 Posted May 14, 2011 I think this is all a big game we have to play. Just done a few quotes online and Hastings have come out the cheapest @ £206 FC for my Busa the next best was MCE @ £252 FC.With Adrian Flux at moment and they Indicated when I changed my bike last month It would be about the £285 ish.So looks like Hastings this Year and swap again next year.

Neill 0 Posted May 14, 2011 the problem with renewals is the company dont offer you the new customer dicounts etc tell you its the best deal for you and then hope that you cant be ars no better not cant be bothered to shop around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted May 14, 2011 something else to remember is that the more online quotes you do, it pushes your prices up. I don't do comparison site, not paying them the finder fee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
