Actually did mine yesterday. Was previously with MCE but they sent me an email saying that they would not automatically renew my insurance and I should go to their website, fill in my details all over again to get a quote. Seemed a bit strange, as if they did not want me to renew with them.
Went on compare the market and MCE came up for £137 but Bennets was just £90.64, so went with them.
That's interesting you say that about them, because GoCompare have always saved my details in their system for years, yet this time I had to fill in all my details again from scratch?
Wondering if they have all been asked to do that?

I forgot about The Bike Insurer, maybe i used them last year instead of GoCompare, which is why my details may have been erased?

Went to pay the insurance yesterday, due on June 3rd, and it's now £124 instead of my quoted £110. I'm curious as to what has changed in the last 10 days to warrant a price increase?
Then after i paid the new fee, they send me a receipt email, and it says it starts from June 1st ?
Their reminder said June 3rd, as it always will do, as it's also my birthday so it's not something i really forget or mess up.
Very shoddy service. That was with Carole Nash, via The Bike Insurer comparison site. GoCompare had the same new higher price as well.
I've emailed them now, as i tried phoning but they're on reduced working hours due to you know what.

My son insured his KTM 390 on Thursday, to start at midnight, got quoted £450 by Devitts on one of the comparison sites, clicked on the link to go to Devitts website it asked him to check his details again, then requoted him at £370.
If, as some else has already posted I think, that the closer to the renewal date you renew the price goes up is just more proof that vehicle insurance is not risk based anymore but only on what they think you will be willing to pay.
