OMO - Bennetts or MCE?

Bibio · 02-07-16, 08:03 PM

i use bikesure.

unlike other companies my insurance goes down every year and no fighting trying to get a better deal. ok so i could get it cheeper if i looked around but my bike is silly modded so not worth the hassle. i have had a theft claim with them and they were great.

I just insured mine with Bennetts for £121. First time with them, no idea if they are good, bad or ugly, but price seemed fair as it is just over 5 years since I rode a bike so they started me off at zero NCB total excess £200. I'm 62.

Ok, thanks everyone. Going to give Bennett a ring. MCE just have far too many bad reviews!

Bennetts NOOOOOOOOO.... Their the tossers who nearly did me over.

Now with Hastings Premier - same cover way cheaper.

I'm with Bennets this year, seemed the cheapest, ive changed bike twice though since taking the policy and they charged me £32 admin fee both times

probably a norm these days with all companies but just a heads up

Hastings screwed me by failing to auto renew. I only found out when I got a nasty letter from the DVLA about having no insurance. I called them and they said whoops our fault, we cancelled the auto renew but have no notification from you to do so!

They renewed immediately at slightly reduced price and I asked what would have happened in a claim or prosecution for no insurance and they say they would have covered me as they were at fault. But I doubt it as I guess they would argue that as I had not been issued with a certificate. I should have checked.

Apart from TamSV - who is a gent.

I guess they are all a bit iffy. There is no customer value on anything these days.
We are all just cash cows.

You pay your money to whoever, and pray you never have to ring them.
