Insurance

[SP250]

Was insured last year with E Bike as it was easy.
This year's renewal they hiked by nearly £100.

So rang round and got bored so went with Be Wiser Insurance at the same price as last year -£170 for F800 ST and R1100S fully comp.
Reasonably happy with that, cant be a***d wasting any more time on it.

Might be of help to someone.

It is a pain in the ar$e - I tried ringing around last year and ended up staying with Auntie Carole. I wasted a day so as long as it it stays around the same price I'll be sticking with Carole Nash this year

Insurance, it’s an ongoing lottery, my renewal just came from Auntie Carol and all good a very modest rise from last years, Karen’s multi policy came through and was approximately £27 more not too bad but I thought I’d just check there site and heho a reduction of £53 off the renewal price, so I phoned them Carol Nash gave the renewal number and the quote reference and obviously they had to honour it, what’s more interesting the F8 was listed with no modification’s and I’d stated the mods on the quote page lol, still my No 1 is happy

My multi bike policy came in way higher when I went on line. Like you said Phil, it's a lottery

What a laugh, I thought I’d try the meerkats and this is the result 2 are on the money but the 3rd well take a look

You remember that bloke who was pissed off with all the banks charging too much and not lending to proper businesses - Dave something?
Well he started the "Bank of Dave" in Rochdale, Burnley or somewhere up north and charged low interest and lend to local people and businesses, paid sensible wages to staff and any extra profits went to charities.

Strikes me someone ought to do the same with 'In sewer ance' (to quote Terry Pratchett) - run it on common sense and reward loyal customers with a sensible renewal quotation not a lottery as we have at the mo.

Just my rant for a Tuesday.

It’s just one underwriting group wanting to be in the comparison site’s offering, who have very specific insurance target group.

If you had fit their very specific risk model - they would have been competitive.

Well I must have fitted into the target group last year because they were competitive then.

I can't think that going from 63 to 64 has changed much, but who knows when underwriters are involved?
