insurance?
« on: 01 May 2014, 04:00:11 pm »
So I've got this years renewal, it's gone up by over 52% phones Bennetts to ask why and guess what they knock £40 off just for asking, am I missing something here?
 A mate always stuck with his local broker he was paying over £500 for his fireblade, changed and saved over £250?

My last insurer for the thundercat wanted almost twice what they asked for the previous year. I ended up on autotrader insurance search engine and got it for even less than the year before! £69 would you believe!!!!!!
On the flip side, it'd cost me about £800 to insure a 100bhp car!!! What the hell is that all about???

Yes, insurers are a bunch of bloody chancers who'll stick your premium up and hope you'll let it go through on the nod!

*ALWAYS* query your premium renewal otherwise you'll more often than not get stung.

bikesure wanted £130 to renew mine TPF&T which i thought was pretty good, then checked with Mr Meerkat and he found £120 fully comp. phoned bikesure and they could only do £130 fully comp (still pretty good as im 29 with 2 years nc) .  It really is amazing how bad these insurance companies treat customers.

My workmate phones Kwik-Fit Insurance up EVERY year to ask them to cancel his renewal as he's found a much cheaper company online.


When they ask who he always replies............."Kwik-Fit"
