Are we talking insurance companies... or insurance brokers?

Companies = RSA, Equity Red Star, Aviva

Brokers = Express, MCE, Carol Nash

I've never had to test the actual performance of an insurance company... I've tried quite a few brokers though.

Carol Nash - Expensive, but worth the extra money as long as it's not double. Their customer services is excelent, and you get through to speak to someone straight away. They get your information right first time.

Express - You can be on hold for ages, but they seem to employee bikers that actually have some knowledge. Seem helpful enough, I just hate being on hold for ages. I'm with express this year.

MCE - Utter garbage, they sell you a policy and make tons of mistakes... They sold me a policy and took my money. When I received the document they had put down that my bike is alarmed, which it isnt... the can't insure me without an alarm. Then they have the cheek to charge me £30 to cancel. Which I'm currently persuing... infact I've had no money back from them yet.
