Default Express Insurance

...Anyone used them? I saw an advert saying that they were offering 'special' deals to Suzuki owners. I am currently with Bennets, who gave what I thought was a decent premium of £205 fully comp last year (first bike, no NCB, just passed my test). Now, a year on, they want to charge me £245 (no claims, yet!!)

Just got an online quote from Express (through Hastings direct) and they want £158! - again fully comp, but with a fairly hefty excess.

Just wondered if anyone had used them on here?

Ta,

BB.

I used them for my Honda XR125 (first bike) and then SV for a year in total - They are owned by Suzuki. Customers services took forever to answer and they were pretty unhelpful. Premium quote for this year was appalling!

I am with Aquote now - they used some of my car no claims to get me 4 yrs discount on my SV650. Bearing in mind I'd only been riding a year and had passed my test 8 months previous, I paid ?199 (included ?50 premium for leather & helmet cover I should have asked to be removed).

Aquote: 08712 222111

Always been helpful - these people answer the phone and reply to emails!

I am with them now and my off was sorted very quickly. Not had any issues with them. However, I am likely to not go with them again as their excesses are too high in my opinion and I have had quotes at more reasonable rates and with smaller excesses.
