Have a look around as early as you can, don't leave it too late otherwise they know they've got you by the nuts because they know you really need to get insured asap.
Just been through all this after helping an Italian work colleague, he left everything too late plus i then had to talk on the phone for him due to a language barrier which i hate doing with insurance people, just because it never stated anywhere that he could carry a pillion.
Good job i checked too as they had to add it on to his policy, even though it was for no extra cost?
He had recently moved nearer to our workplace and his policy went from £140 to averaging around £480, and i could still only get it down to £380 after a lot of faffing about and online searches.
And a day before we sorted that out he decides to tell me his MOT ran out a week ago as well :rolleyes
A quick phone call and i managed to get him an MOT the next day too at my bike shop and his bike fortunately passed.
