has something changed with insurance?

[Geodude]

Mine gone up a few quid each year for the last four years so im still waiting for it to come down and have no claims either. Hope the price hike doesn't take you off your bike.

Not just yet LOL
The time saved (about 1-2 hours each day) by NOT using public transport cannot be measured in monetary terms
But then again, I could go back to cycling everywhere. Totally free!

Agy,not meaning to be personal but do you have a UK Licence or are you using an EU licence? Age and postcode is more than likely to be your killer but apart from trying ALL the comparison sites I don't know what to suggest.
I change my insurers regularly as often going to a new insurer gets you an introductory discount or cash back which compensates for any increase.
Currently paying £122 with £20 cashback for a 1000cc Triumph fully comp 6000miles p.a. but the bike is alarmed,garaged and max NCB.

I alternate between Bennetts and Swinton

I have a full UK driving licence for 10 years (not had a car for years tho). I am 30 years old

Yes I strongly suggest you do, I don't like to put up with their robbery so easily. Last year my premium was around £300.

The guy I spoke to said something like "Great news, you can renew your policy and pay less than you did the previous year!"

I thought, "Fantastic, I wonder how much cheaper!" And when I asked him, he said £460. As you can imagine, I threw a (calm and collected) fit telling him it's more expensive and I have 3 years NCB etc etc.

A couple of days later they ring back and I give them a false quote and they lowered their original quote down to £240.

Wow! And you're paying £700!! :O :O

I'm 23 and with licence held for over 3 years and 3 years NCB.

Where in the country are you?

Something ins't right here.... £700 really is excessive for TPFT!!! When I mentioned to some people a while back what I'm paying now they suggested I complain somewhere as it's absurd. Can't remember where tho... anyone knows??

There is noone to complain to.

Just have to shop around.

I had the bike registered in Kent, Gillingham to get the cheapest price. It was about £600 when registered in London, Wembley.
