It's that time again, Honda insurance has looked after my policy for the last couple of years so with an renewal of ?255.00 excess ?250, no frill's policy so I start looking around. l4m3r Fighting talk d04l1ng


Unbelievable prices from all the 0800 numbers.Just a selection d34l


Firstly we have a change of circumstance this year with travelling abroad I will need european breakdown cover so with Honda that's another ?50.00
?305 total

Carol Nash.
?284 excess ?200 incl of european cover

MCE
?359 excess ?250

Devit
Don't even bother

EbikeEBike?162.79 ?200 Excess Uk breakdown cover,so I will have to find ?30 approx to upgrade
so for under ?200 i'm sorted
That's a result as far as I am concerned all fully comp

Result Huw!

Imo, Insurance is a game played between consenting adults. There is no consistency in pricing it seems to me. They quote a figure they hope you will say yes to. Some do, and some don't.

The game begins.

The consistancy is, there isnt any. Are we selling enough motorbike policies, no... drop the price. Have we hit our quota of motorbike policies, yes..... up the price. It all a matter of risk, how much, against how many claims or acceptable level of claims. So who may be cheap this month may be expensive next month.

I do mine through the CIS (Co-op) not only because I work for them but because the price is right and the policy meet my current needs.:bang: :bang: :bang:

Jim.
I got mine last year through biketeam, ?144 fully comp and protected ncd.
35 yrs old and living in deepest, darkest Falkirk.

I got a quote from H&R at the bike show last week, Even with a total loss claim last summer, which is still outstanding, Quoted me ?285 F/C with protected ncb.
H&R are not usually the cheapest for me, so a reasonable ball park figure I thought.

I've just renewed mine ....Protected NCD, garaged, 40 years old, alarm, immobiliser, etc .... through Honda...... ?324.

I tried a couple of others but living on the outskirts of London does me no favours and they were dearer than Honda.

Trying to convince them I'm a safe IAM rider didn't work either .... never mind ..... it's worth it !!
