Just shopping for bike insurance (online at the mo) all the sites have a compulsory excess of :£650. It may be a 'young persons' excess, but anyone else noticed it?Is this how they're trying to disguise/hinder raising premiums?
Most annoyingly I thought "fair enough I won't be claiming then" and put the total excess up to £1650... no change in premium!
The premiums are actually pretty cheap so not really grumbling ... but the choice would be nice
