As my insurance is due in the next six weeks or so I've been collection some quotes just as a rough guide to what it will be for another year on the Street Twin. Im looking at £85.50 fully comp, which Im more than happy with, i was just wondering what quote are other people getting?
Well you could at least share with us.... who's giving you the quote? That's a quarter of what I pay and mine is due next month. Mind you, look at alll the other insurance threads and the variety from the same insurers is vast!
Mine's due in a month never had my renewel as yet but tried a comparision site and - Triumph Thunderbird 1600, fully comp,(of course there standard 350 XS) 57 year old rider no claims 18 yrs no claims came in at around 100 quid !!! which I thought was good, on looking at another quote I found an all bells and whistles quote for approx 112 quid which included all extras, basic recovery, riding other bike, riding other coutries, legal cover etc, that was with a company called One call Insurance, Seems a no brainer for an extra 12 quid We'll see what my renewal price brings forth !!!
Eighty-five quid! I'd be biting there hand off for that. I'll get you to sort out my insurance when I Renew
The company is Hastings Direct, Im 32, fully comp, 3 years no claims, (had my license 3 and a half years) Hereford postcode, 90 days euro cover, no claims protected, pillion cover, social domestic and commuting, but i don't have have any other extras. i never bother with the legal cover and i've got separate breakdown cover
I normally just try the several compare sites and i always come away happy, my postcode is low risk, well i think it is
I was with them, until they increased the insurance on my Thrux from 280 to 750 for no apparent reason apart from saying that's what it is!
I think its been said, theres no real loyalty to customers anymore, i never stay with a company for more than a year. sounds like you've been through the mill
Mine's up for renewal 1st March. Tried MCE for a quote.... they didn't know what a Triumph Street Twin was. Game Over. Tried Carole Nash.... they didn't know what one was either !! To be fair CN did phone me to ask why I had aborted my online quote, I told them my bike wasn't recognized in their system. After they kept me on hold for a bit they then said " how does £386 sound ?"....... Game Over again. I'll keep trying. (last year I paid £212 with Bennetts, their renewal this year is over £300)
Blimey Reggie, i thought it would be cheap up where you are? On the comparison sites i had quotes from MCN and CN so i don't know why they didn't recognise yours, did you give them your reg?
That made it worse Sam...... I've got a private plate on it and they couldn't find it from that either. I'm a bit peeved with these high quotes I've been given as I usually pay around £200 ish for the two bikes. I'll keep trying but maybe I'll just have to get my head around the fact that it's getting dearer nowadays to insure bikes.
