Default is this a good quote?

im up for renewal now, and bennets (spit) offered me 600+ for my renewel, but vowing never to use them again ive looked elsewhere this is what ive found
  • Fully Comp
  • Legal
  • personal
  • extras up to £500
  • ride ANY bike and be covered
there is a high excess but a really good premium
of £414.00 (£650ex) with Devitt
considering ive got two years NCB and 3 points + mods

what do you think?

Bennets. (cccchhhhh ... pfft...ding)

Insured 125 with them last january, ?250ish, changed to SV in june, ?500 ish also increased to TPFT.
Renewal comes round, bearing in mind been getting ?5-600 quotes they offer me a renewal price of ?950. No perks, no euro cover, breakdown cover extra, no mods allowed. They are on drugs.

I was with Devitt for a while I found them quite good price wise till I got my GSXR and then they got expensive, i.e £981 for fully comp on the GSXR, I shopped around and got a better deal with ebike, for £498 including free breakdown cover.

Ring round as many insurance companies as you can find, MCN is a good source for companies if you are stuck for ideas.

Bennetts did exactly the same to me, they quoted me £200 more for my second years insurance. Hadn't had any claims or anything.

I used to use eBike, who were quite reasonable ... they only put my insurance (FC) up by about £50 considering I'd had one "at fault" accident in the first year.
However, phoned around and got a quote from MCE for about £100 less than eBike
I hear that Tesco have also started bike insurance now ... their car insurance was always pretty good too!
