Re: What's with bike insurance this year?!
My renewal quote went up by 50% this year, but after a phone call I got it back down to last year's level. Similar story on the wife's car.
Care to expand on that? Interested. |

The Ogden rate was 2.5% discount it's now a -0.75% additional. This change had significantly increased all rates for providers that have to deal with personal injury to account for the massive increase. Now that may not sound a lot but that rate is applied to "proper" PI claims, not your run of the mill BS whiplash etc. Like actual life altering ones. As an example a claim which could have been paid at c2-3m will likely now be closer to 8m Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Re: What's with bike insurance this year?!
My car insurance has just rolled round - Quotemehappy.
Auto-renewal was £27.00 cheaper than last year. Can't complain this time round. |

Re: What's with bike insurance this year?!
Acid attacks, unprecedented bike thefts in London, stabbings, shootings, a Tory government that insists 30'000 less police is a good idea.
It all boils down to how people vote, and people are idiots.

Re: What's with bike insurance this year?!
My renewal was £30 cheaper than last year and £20 cheaper than even the same insurer offered as a new customer. They even threw in some kit cover and protected NCB which I didn't have. Miracles do happen.

Here is the postcode database that UK insurers use for basic risk assessment - before they even look at your personal NCB and risks. Postcodes with a * by them need motorbikes to be kept in secure garage.
