Bennetts Insurance Rip Off

Here she is. Bought her in Sept, PX'd the Striple.:-

 

Very nice, I've not seen one in that colour either. Health to ride

 

Seat looks like it has proper padding too... Triumph could learn a few tricks here

 

Just because we are senior citizens we are not all old dithering or dribbling!!
I insure my house and contents with Saga and have the same deal as Littlede, 3 years of cover at the same annual price.

Saga will accept over 50's!!

 

Yeah the seat is just like seats used to be when I was a teenager, plush and comfy. The bike I test rode before buying had the "low" seat which was better for me but I went for comfort in the end with the standard seat.

 

Great colour, you could be forgiven for thinking that's chrome at first glance, of course not me.

 

I also am with Bennetts and have always been able to get them to bring their renewal down to the comparison site quote until last year when I phoned them and said the renewal was too high. They told me that they could not bring it down to the comparison site quote so suggested I cancelled my policy with them and take out the new one so still with Bennetts but a new policy at least they didn't ask me to to prove my no claims years heho.

April is my renewal and now with 2 bikes I will have to see what happens.

I want to find an insurer who will not have the 500 metre rule from the house just because it's garaged

Be interested to know how you get on re the 500m rule.

 

I first had a strop with them and said they were trying to get me killed as I would have to try and fight of any thieves if they attempted to steal my bike. In the end they said that if I was at the bike and it was stolen then the actuaries would make a decision on an individual basis, implying they would pay out and I got that in writing. I have stuck with Bennetts as their prices have been great and also I have won their BSB competitions twice, Knockhill and Assen and they were worth about £400 each time as it was for 2 and friggin amazing, Assen was stunning and the drive in the safety car brilliant.

However I will seriously look to see what Bee Moto have to offer in April

I renewed this year with Hastings, 2 bikes and both garaged. The theft condition is if a bike is stolen from within 500m of the house while not in a locked garage the excess is doubled but cover not excluded. Not a bad compromise.

 

I have my car with hastings so will be one I will try, thanks

I was Hastings, car and bike for years. Most years you have to mess about to get the renewal down, is all.
