Default Re: Swinton Insurance or Red Star Equity Insurance

Swinton will also offer you loads of other stuff, such as 3 months free recovery, personal accident & family accident cover. Which is all well & good, but its a pain if you forget to canceel it after the 3 months have expired.

When I went to cancel a bike policy with Swinton, I was told it would cost £80 to cancel. The policy only cost £52!

Think I've had plenty of policies with ERS and no problems.

I'm with Equity Red Star, have been for a few years, can't fault their service and they call back when they say they will etc, Transfering insurance from a 1200 bandit to the new sv650s was a shocker but hope its ALOT less at renewal time. I'd say they're easily above average, tho i've not had to claim yet!

Who is the insurance company Swinton are proposing?

Equity Redstar were my insurers when I had some damage to my bike.
I wrote to them and said, this is the cost of damage (please see attached estimate to repair from local bike shop)

Pay me this amount now and claim is settled.

Engineer came out. Signed off. I got money and fixed bike for whatever it actually cost me to fix...
