Motorcycle Direct

[GSXR Carlos]

Hi all,

just renewed my bike insurance with motor cycle direct

£250 fc (with a £650 excess) Carl is very happy :lol:

can you beleive they offered me a renewal of £278, so i told them i'd been quoted £250 and they knocked it down to £248 plus a 2% credit card charge

just so you all know, e bike wanted a few more pounds and i'm happy to stay where i am :wink:

[svrash]

Been with bikes direct for the last 4 years, been very happy with prices and service :thumbsup:

:shock:

£157 TPFT

£250 excess, with uk breakdown cover and legal cover (pillion, TP on other bikes et al)

AND for an RM postcode (romford went up several places in the theft/risk ratings this year)

Edit: BTW, I'm 29 with 1 year NCB

When you think about that, that sort of excess is extreme. If you have to pay that before making a claim it makes a mockery of insurance itself.. They've got us by the short and curlies...

What's your age Carl, if you don't mind me asking and do you park in garage or...???

:?

Carls aint bad..specialy for fully comp...

[DanAbnormal]

Cuurently I'm paying £600 fully comp with Bennetts, who in all honesty are okay but you can't have any mods at all. It would have been £400 only some little buggers nicked my 125 bike 2 years ago which puts it up by £200.

Am 28 with 0 NCB and only 2 years with full licence.

22 (nearly)
6 years no claims
garaged
meta alarm and alpha dot

if i go for less excess i end up paying

about £500 for £400 excess
and £700 for £300 excess so i'd rather just pay for lower insurance and fix bits myself
like i did recently

They why go fully comp??

[quikstu]

I was with these guys last year (Motorcycle Direct). I thought they were a great outfit.

2005 SV650S (new rider) = £340 FC with a £500 excess!!! :D

This year I went with MCE who quoted me £250 FC with £200 excess.
The only reason was that they beat the excess quote of Motorcycle Direct by £50.

Magic,

I am 30yr old living 13miles SW of Glasgow.

strange i know, but i guess peace of mind, my dad's always been one to go fully comp, so i don't think it'd sit well if i went TPFT

he even paid for upgraded fully comp insurance when i had my moped :lol:

How about phoning them (and several others) saying that you are calling several insurers and want their best price in writing. You are not going to call them back to give a second chance, you will accept the best price only. Should focus their minds. Although you got a good price, it is clear that they offered only enough to beat the competition

[GSXR Carlos]

don't i know it, however my best price was actually their written renewal of £278 so its a sham anyway, did a few online quotes so i'm happy with the price.

would the companies even bother to write to you?
