Default Help, cheap day insurance for bikes?

Would love some help.Just about to go pick up my bike later on in the evening and need to find some insurers that will cover me for a day.

I found dayinsure.com and they don't start til the end of March with the day insurance.

Anyone know of any others? Desperate times as funds limited so can't look into a monthly policy just yet.

Thanks

try asking your insurance if they can add "any bike" on your current policy

I used Dayinsurance that you have found to pick up the red VFR, current insurers were willing to change to Red and keep silver one on policy for one month for £2! Worth calling your current insurers IMO.

If you have a credit card just pay for a full 12 months premium on it, ride it back and then cancel it for a full refund. With insurance you have 14 days to cancel for a 100% refund no questions asked.

Most will charge a cancellation fee, you can try dispute it, but its a hassle.

I thought they only charged you after 14 days?

Even so its about 30quid for 1 day insurance and if something does go wrong you have stupidly high excess

Naa i looked into it, i think my admin fee is £35. Its allowed to stop people repeatedly doing it and having free insurance basically.

Still £35 x 26 = £910 for a years insurance brucey.
