Default Do Biketeam actually exist?

I've now left them two online quotes, no response a week later, and they don't seem to answer their phone either... Fair enough, they obviously don't want my business but has anyone else been able to get a quote from them recently?

I took insurance out with biketeam back in january easily the best quote after looking around, first time i filled in for a quote they e-mailed me a price back within 2days i think second time when changed a load of details they never got back to me so sent them an e-mail saying i wanted to take it out but had got no reply and they soon got back then.

Suprised you cant get them on the phones at all though.

I renewed my insurance with them earlier this week. Very helpful when I wanted to change a few things which meant a different underwriter from the reneweal quote.

When I first took out insurance with them I had to get the on-line quote and then ring them with the reference number. They had a deal where they knocked £20 off the on-line quote if you took that quote within about 14 days.

I've never had any bother getting throught to them on the phone.

How strange.

I spoke to them today. They picked the phone up after 2 rings. It's definitely just you that they don't want to talk to

They're very bad at reading emails. I had an apology a while back from them saying their system was broken. Seems its broken again, as I've sent them emails with no response.

Phone them up.

Nah, I got tired of hearing their phone ring so I just went elsewhere. Shame, they seem to have a good rep.

I was amazed how much cheaper the quote was they offered me, i took it of course.

wish i never did though, after crashing and writing the bike off they were total and utter crap. but then that seems to be the case with every insurance company.

god i hate that industury.
