Motorcycle insurance!

Gunni Parker · 25 Apr 2010 at 16:55

Any advice on who provides good motorcycle insurance? I know your all going to say "go compare" but I ******* hate that advert and I swore I would never use their site.

I have had a look and Bennets, any others???

Bennets gave me a good price last year and I went with them but never needed to talk to them again, they don't get amazing reviews though.

The Bike Insurer seem to be happy to sponsor a lot of bike sport on Eurosport so I'm guessing they might be someone to look at?

I've used express insurance for the last few years, never had to claim so only delt with sales.

They are cheap and they insure me to ride any bike third party, as long as it is insured, much to my satisfaction!

Gunni Parker · 25 Apr 2010 at 17:33

Is their any that will consider no-claims for car when I eventually get one???

Luke · 25 Apr 2010 at 17:34

I use Bikesure. They are the cheapest fir me - this year.
Next year I'll probably be with someone else, and so on and so on...

I was looking around recently and almost all the companies who offered this have ceased to do so. If you manage to find anyone, do tell

I would give The Bike Insurer a go online. The last 2 years i have insured my motorcycle has been through The Bike Insurer.

https://bike-insurance.tescocompare.com/ always finds me the best quotes.

Snaggle · 25 Apr 2010 at 18:51

Avoid Bennets

Tesco/Compare the market/confused etc etc .

Not many will give you a bonus for no claims on a car (some will though )

I am with swinton this year and £123 fc on a 1000cc Aprilia Tuono (4 years ncb)

My lads for a Dt125 FC is £300 (22 no ncb)

Persil

I've been with Carole Nash for as long as I've been riding, but Bennetts have given me competitive quotes as well. The thing to do is run a comparison or two then phone up a few companies and ask them to beat your best quote.

Nowhere I know of will take your car insurance no claims into account.

BikeSure were the cheapest for me, found them via TescoGoMeerkat.

Had no complaints when they were dealing with my accident either

FeFiDoh · 25 Apr 2010 at 19:04

Will keep an eye on this thread I need to insure mine again soon.

cyclops12 · 25 Apr 2010 at 19:38

Bikesure , adrian flux by far the cheapest for me
Mind you i'm old and its a trike.

mrgubby · 25 Apr 2010 at 20:00

I changed from Bennets to Carol Nash. Better cover, lower excess & cheaper premium

FeFiDoh · 25 Apr 2010 at 20:16

Just did that tesco compare thing and Hastings bike come back at £217 Motorcycle direct £220 and Bikesure £187! Considering im paying about £500 now thats crazy.

Been riding 1 year 4k a year 1years NCB 25years old.

helpimcrap · 25 Apr 2010 at 20:25

i used confused.com and it was with H&R insurance.

still got the injury side ongoing but the bike was settled and paid out fairly in about 4 months.

i didn't even start off the claim as i was incapacitated so it was all done without my knowledge and the first i knew of it was a cheque in my hand.

Rich1988 · 25 Apr 2010 at 20:29

bikeinsurer gave me by far the best quote

Hawk Tuah · 25 Apr 2010 at 20:33

eBike Insurance.

Gave me a fantastic quote both years I was riding and had no problems settling a claim. Its all online, but seeing as you're here that shouldn't be a problem.

cdcopyman · 25 Apr 2010 at 20:43

carole nash gave me best price by far

with aviva.
