Inswerance thing...

Rang Bennetts today to sort out the insurance on the 'Bird - I wanted to change my MZ's policy to the Honda (coz it's got loads of NCB), then take out a new policy for the MZ with no no claims. Either that or start a new multibike policy.

Their suggestion...

Reduce the MZ's NCB to zero - this would be an additional charge of £147.00 for the remainder of the year's policy (up to 9/07). The NCB could then be applied to a new policy for the 'Bird for 12 months starting now. They couldn't apparently uprate the MZ's policy to the Honda.

Instead, I cancelled my MZ's insurance (this gives me a £96 refund) and took out a brand new policy, with zero NCB, for £71.

Insurance for the 'Bird is £157. A 2-bike policy for the MZ & 'Bird was going to be £385.

And folk wonder why insurance quotes are baffling.

This has been public service announcement due to a bout of boredom.

Just had the same thing as I am going from a two bike multipolicy to just the one bike. Works out cheaper to keep another bike on the multibike policy so I will now be buying £50 worth of C90 - and i'll still be in front on the prices!!

Well i had the same policy for over 30 years,went to CN some years ago and took my NC with me and have two bikes on the policy,phoned them up and asked about insuring my Gilera 180 Runner,CN wanted an arm and a leg to start a new policy,went back to the original broker and asked for a quote!!! you know how long i've been with you!!!! and they gave me a full no claims,long enough ago to stand on it's own two feet nowhere days,what the hell i'm going to with the XT god knows!!
