This can't be true

I insured my bike with Bennetts last year for my Thruxton, £250 ish, no ncb, I was happy with it,
my renewal notice came through the post............. £960. What did I do? I phoned them up and told them a few things, The person pointed out that policies can go up in a year but said it did seem a bit (BIT?) high. they said someone would phone me tomorrow and try to reduce it. I know what crash helmets are for now as I feel there will be a lot of that going on.

 

cheers guys I will do that tomorrow probably. only got the letter this arfternoon!

 

Yup I told them where they could shove their auto renew

 

I am an old git!!

 

An update on my Insurance. I did the comparison websites and came up with quotes ranging from less than £200 to over £1000! So I picked some of the cheaper quotes and went back to Bennetts and the still couldn't come up with less! I told them about you guys and your bikes and what you were paying and they admitted there must be a big mistake so they are going to put all of yours up!!, no , seriously folks, their reason was that the underwriters they used before had probably stopped insuring my model so their next best with the ones they used was the over priced £960. I'm going with Hastings, not the cheapest but they seem to have the cover I wanted.

 

Here we go again!! Insurance up for renewal, renewal docs some through, loads of info missing. phone them up and amend it no probs. Ask if I can up mileage allowance on Tiger and lower on Thruxton, just to 10,000 and 4000 respectively he goes away, comes back after a few mins and tells me if I change the mileage they cant insure me!!
I say ok insure me but I want cooling off period so I can hunt other options he says fine but I could try ringing back in a few days as they might have changed their mileage limits by then, seemingly they change on an hourly basis!! I get awfully confused and I'm sure its not just my age!!

 

I think they adopt the Nixon clause
