Default Young people, check your insurance!

I'm 17. I have TFT insurance for £545. I was running quotes yesterday and MCE came back with a quote of £250 TFT on my SV!

The callcenter contacted me, as they do and I said I'll be having that then. Even the guy couldn't believe me and had to double check for himself Apparently it's a new one they started yesterday.

Might save some of you some money

It also might be a mistaken quote on their computer system, and they could be well within their rights when they end your cover after realising in a month's time...

Was he a broker or the underwriter?

Not saying it's not right, just be aware that if something is too good to be true it usually is

It's MCE, which I believe is a direct insurance thing. IE it's not a broker.

Also get free breakdown recovery which will be nice incase of the inevitable puncture

MCE are a broker, the underwriter will be one of the big insurance companies like NIG/AXA etc etc

I went through MCE for my thou, bearing in mind i binned the old bike last year which wiped out my NCB, been riding for 3 years, most companies were qouting in the region of £400-500, i managed to get it for £200, excess was a little steep but all in all a bloody good qoute.
