Insurance Companies

[mediamark]

Hi folks

My insurance is due for renewal next month. I'm after recommendations for insurance companies that don't baulk if you've done a few mods to your bike?

I'm currently with Bennetts but they've not been too mod friendly!

Cheers in advance!

Mark

EBike haven't batted an eyelid at my mods: exhaust, Metal Mule panniers and crash bars.

Some folk have said their experince of claiming with EBike has been dire, but since I've not had to, I can't comment. All I can say is the guy I spoke to at the UK call centre was extremely helpful when I renewed and changed address last week...

I was with Bennetts but didnt like the auto renewal process. Im currently with Carol Nash for an f650 twin , no real issues on extras.

As I've posted elsewhere, Carole Nash have just quoted me £1435!!!! My renewal from Bennett's is £360, which is about £140 up on last year. The other quotes I've had are around the £220 mark.

Try Bike Sure.No issues with mods,the price for insurance this year the same as last year,they don't charge you £40 for any change on the policy as other company did.As I don't have a garage where I live I have to park the bike at different address.That was a "massive problem " for hastings direct while Bike Sure was perfectly fine with it.

IAM Surety.

All covered - £189!!

Spoke too soon!

When they emailed me the documentation, I noticed the model was for an F800R!!!! FFS!

Once I'd pointed their error out they updated the details.
New premium, £1029!! Why such a difference???
I've now got to ring em back tomorrow & cancel!

I've got an F800GS, which isn't massively modded.
I've spoken to IAM Surety, they're doing it at the original price.

I tried Footman James but as you say they're no longer doing modern bikes.
The next lowest quote was with the Policy Shop, closely followed by Swintons but I won't touch them with a barge pole!
