Post Insurance - cant get below £340

29 years old, no claims / accidents etc. Live in Bromsgrove (midlands). Been riding since November, CBT since feb last year. Bike in locked garage, use for commuting. First big bike - SV650S 2007.

What are others paying?

Just wondering if this is about average.

MCE and policyshop cant get close... (with policy shop at moment)

Try Carol Nash and Bennetts. Watch out for Bennetts though as they sting you for £25 every time you change any details on your policy. Also not good at all if you change bikes before policy renewal.

Give Footman James a try. You also get free UK and European breakdown and recovery with their policies.

If you already haven't, try The Bike Insurer, I got a quote through them of £270 (a day after passing my test, 26yo, bike on street TPTFT).
Now after 1 year, bike in lock up, 2x miles FC and same price.

A few years ago, I had a couple of yeas off biking. When I came back I had obviously let my no claims bonus lapse.

I called http://www.insurance2000.co.uk/ and they said "No no claims? What about on a car?" "Five years" says I. "Ok, we'll match that for you".

I was a bit stunned by that. Might be worth a try.
