Re: Which insurer?
Quote:
As always I'll shop around when renewal time comes and if I can get a,"Classic" insurance deal with CN at a good price I'll go back to them.I'm hoping my SV650 will be the last bike I buy so the cheaper I can get it the better.

Re: Which insurer?
Don't forget Carole Nash includes breakdown cover as standard.

Re: Which insurer?
I use Startrescue for breakdown,
https://www.startrescue.co.uk/ It covers,"Me" in/on any vehicle.With a discount coupon I think it was £38 for the year. My bike came with,"AlphaDot" and it only cost me £15 to transfer.

Re: Which insurer?
Bennets were fine when I had to use them, it was being TPTF that ****ed me over,
If you're fully comp, which you'd be a donut not to be then they'll be fine. Hastings were just a lot cheaper for me this time round. |

Re: Which insurer?
I'm with BeMoto. They weren't the absolute cheapest quote I got but from the reviews they had, I decided to go with them. Quote was still competitive and used the discount code from 44teeth to ultimately get the price down a bit.
Worth giving them a ring just to get a quote I reckon. I would note, I've not had to use them yet (knock on wood). That's obviously the real test of how good they are! Alex |

Re: Which insurer?
I have just gone back to Bennetts after last years Hastings cockup and a saving of 30 quid.
I was with Bennetts 16 years ago and had a no fault claim. They wrote it off, which I agreed with. But their valuation was way out. It turned out they had not inspected the bike and when I queried how they got their valuations as it was well out of line with my Glass's. They even had the wrong bike. Eventually I got everything resolved, but at renewal I got zero NCD. I queried that, and got the operator to say, "I will check with the underwriter and phone you back". Fat chance. But true to her word, 30 mins later she phoned me. NCD restored and a discount for the inconvenience. So last years hastings cockup. Auto renew in November as they were only about a fiver different from the lowest cost. Step forward to Jan last year and there is a letter from the DVLA telling me it is an offence to have a non insured vehicle. No problem, I had not cancelled the auto renew. Check on ASKMIB and no insurance. Phone Hastings. We cannot explain it. We confirm that you never cancelled but we didn't carry out the auto renew. We can insure you now. So I go ahead but ask. What would have happened if I had a claim? Oh we would have honored it as it was our fault you were not insured. Like hell you would. I know from when my son was prosecuted for no insurance on his company vehicle. It is the drivers responsibility to check there is insurance. BTW, he was convicted, but no points and £0 fine.
