Bike Insurance renewall

Grrr
It's that time again, insurance is due for renewal, comparing confused meerkats in the supermarket etc...




....was something I have not done,
Had a plesent call from Swinton (my broker) yesterday, and not only has the price dropped from £30/month down to £22/month but i'm also getting £50 back in my pocket after the policy has been inforce for 3 months.

Must say i was plesently suprised that christmas has come early for me as i was expecting to have to *ahem*lube up and take it like a man when the insurance came for renewall.

OK, I do have 1 year no claims now and also had my license for nearly 8 years and the bike is kept in the house and not in a damp and cold garage etc but all that makes no difference in price these days.

Shout if christmas has come early for you too

Honest, officer.

Keep that lube in place if you're insured with Swinton, they'll find another way to get you.

Good that not everyone is being done over high insurance costs though!

yeah, all the other features they keep trying to get me to add on, i keep taking the 3 months free then cancel them

I got my first ever wave goodbye from my nephew Logan today at lunch time. That made me feel all warm and fuzzy

Got my renewall from Swinton in November, had increased from £65 to £120. Peeved I made a visit to the fat opera singer where Swinton were quoting £58, a Topcashback and Swinton Casback later and they paid me 52p for a years insurance and they gave me 3 months breakdown for nowt too, makes a nice change to lube those boys up.....

No bull, tp only, bike only worth £800 but alot more broken for spares, 46 years old, annual premium £58.48 cashbacks £59 and I thought I'd done well the year before when I paid £2.56! One of the few advantages of being old and having a cheap bike.

I was once insured with Swinton. Never again. After an accident they were not interested or at all helpful which left me out of pocket. But on the plus side every couple of months for about a year they would phone up to see if they could claim for whiplash for me and the other passengers in the car. Trouble was it was just me. Uninjured. On my bike.

Swinton- bahhhhh! I cant wait till my first year runs out with them. Never again will I deal with a company who completely ignores you. Keep a regular check on your bank account for sneaky charges. Oh and they dont have a customer complaints department. Well done with getting a lower premium though!
