Default Re: Comedy call to Bennetts

So....they want to know about any car claims you've ever made so they can put up your premium.
Great, so I can use my 9 years no claims bonus from my car insurance can I ??
No????!!!!

Mmmmmm that's fair.

Too bad the european court through out the case saying penalising people for their gender was discriminatory.
Totally disgusting.
What next?
Oh I see sir, you're white, that's an extra £50.

I tried that one with them, I asked why they wanted to know about my car history & why they wouldn't give me more no claims, they just said that they needed my full insurance history for thier records.

Express Insurance told me that although they legally have to know about any claims on any motor vehicle, they do not load the bike policy unless the claim was made for a bike. How true that is I don't know, but good if it is.

I am insured with bennets (only 3rd party fire and theft), and when a lorry reversed over me and i made a claim they sorted everything out. They contacted BLD and within 2days i had a hire bike. i cant complain about their service on this front thought it was very good.

The best one when getting an insurance quote is, "Has the bike been imported?"

My stock answer is, "Well, of course it has. It's made in Japan!!!"

Must be the same phone monkey that used to work for Norwich Union

"Can you confirm that I am covered to carry a pillion"

"What's a pillion ?"

"The person who sits on the back"

"Hang on, I'll just ask my supervisor . . .
. . . "

"Right, you are covered as long as they're not driving"

"?"
