Default Insurance (i know again)

Right my insurance is up the end of the month, Express gave me a quote of £490 fully comp, legal cover, Class one business use, insurance excess protection and to pay montly without paying interest.

So is this a good deal? I'm gonna look around, but how much realestically should I be paying with one years NCB, had my licence for a year, the bike is garaged, got a datatool 4 alarm on it, gonna put a ground anchor in I have done a bike safe course. In Harrow, I'm over 25.

Depends on a lot of variables of course...but..

I'm 30, 1 yrs NCD, garaged - pay 165 fully comp from MCE...

I'd say yours is a bit steep....

22 years old, bike ungaraged, has Datatool S3 and a disc-lock, 1 year no claims, MCE quoted me £263 TPFT when everwhere else was trying to charge £460+ for the same level of cover (helmet+leathers, legal, breakdown inclusive).

Definitely give them a call - the guy I spoke to was really helpful, answered all my questions, and is going to call me back tonight to finish the deal.

Well after a bit of searching and digging, I got my price down too £260 fully comp, which includes break down cover, UK and Europe and insurance cover in Europe too.

So that seems a lot better, I think the main reason its high is cause I just live outside London, in terms of post code ect.

Anyone had much better?

Fully comp, euorpean cover upto 90 days per trip and roadside rescue plus (whatever that actually does!).

But silver haired (37) and good postcode I guess. Oh! and they probably agree that the MPV needed my van through its back doors!

Would this be the new rider deal?? If so pay extra for the excess insurance and legal cover which is £60 in total still cheap. Living near London or a big city of course it makes a difference higher crime rates ect.
