Poll: What extras do you have with your insurance policy? - SV650.org

Paul the 6th · 18-05-10, 11:21 AM

Just weighing up the pro's and con's of including various benefits on my insurance which is up for renewal.

Breakdown cover attached to my insurance policy works out at £52.00 and I had to use it for the first time when I recently got a puncture.

For an extra £21.25 I can get personal breakdown cover from the RAC which covers me personally in any vehicle regardless of whether I'm driver or passenger, and they'll take me & upto 7 other people to a destination of my choice in the UK...

Pretty sure the insurance breakdown policy wouldn't be as comprehensive as this..

So this has prompted me to ask what you lot add to your policies? See poll above

it's anonymous btw

i have legal and leathers cover, i get personel/private health care via work so no need for that.

managed to wind it down to £283 inc. breakdown and legal cover so I'm gonna ring them in a bit and see how much more I can push them down

I get "accessories" cover - which I think is about £100 towards lid and Jacket etc, it isn't much in any case.

Saying that, my policy is £116 Fully Comp this year, I feel that it's good value

I get key cover too. and excess cover

Check that breakdown cover includes recovery after an "accident", most wont.

Breakdown cover anywhere in the EU (I think). But my main favourite is being insured on any other bike thats not mine.
