What's with bike insurance this year?!
just having a rant!
my last year insurance was £357, which included bike leathers, legal and the usual accident protection etc. this year i've tried the usual comparison sites, Bennetts, Devitt, RCIB etc and this years insurance has doubled!!! £750 with Bennetts, £630 with Devitt... anyone else affected like this? All the same details as last year, Garaged, I've not moved, changed jobs, changed mileage etc or had any other accidents etc |

Hello fella,
Personally, I blame it on Brexit Jesting aside, no idea bud but give Aviva a try if you are still looking. |

Renewals are always silly prices.
Have a look at confusethemeerkats etc and see what you get quoted for a new policy. |

Mine was silly this year when I changed bikes but time will tell (well, February actually) what the full year price will be.

Re: What's with bike insurance this year?!
My renewal from Hastings Direct was for £111.62. After looking on a comparison website at the Hastings quote there, I called them and got it reduced to £87.69. Fully comp, 5 years no claims and living in rural Norfolk.

Re: What's with bike insurance this year?!
My Car insurance renewal quote,as always,was silly.I got onto Churchill and told them that I had Moneysupermarket page open and ,"THEIR" quote for my car on there was £50 less than their renewal quote!!!!
He said he could,"Price Match".I said come M8.What's the deal?He said there must have been a mistake in the system to send the higher quote".Yeh and to Quote,"Outlaw Josey Whales". "Don't P*ss down my back and tell me it's rainin' You've gotta keep an eye on these buggers<grin> Tip:If you don't already make sure you are NEVER on Auto-Renewal!!!!!!
