Refused Insurance...

[Bardeey]

......I work in the world of broadcasting. I have tried Carole Nash Bennetts and Ebike but they have all refused me as its classed as Entertainment and they think I could be carrying celebrities! (I'm a music producer.)

They said I should contact "Big" insurance companies; the only thing is I don't know any. Does anyone else suffer with the same problem?

Surely you know people in the business who have the same problem as you? Why not ask them?

just apply online but say your something else, i.e not a music producer, say a receptionist or something else random.

even if you get someone who will insure you, i would hate to think what the price tag is...

You need to try more companies, I was refused by a few when I worked for a record label (I can't remember which ones unfortunately).

Never had any problem with AQuote/Elite or H&R for the bike though, might be worth trying them?

Try honda insurance. given me the lowest quotes for 2 bikes running. £320 tpft for a £3k r6, 2 months experience, 1 non-fault. I work in sales so I get penalised for being a bastard.

You're hardly going to be done for insurance fraud. If you don't carry celebs on the bike then tell them you're a painter and decorator and you're sorted.

you could just bend the truth a wee bit.

For instance i work for pizza hut which the insurance companies will assume i will use my bike for which would be cool but im using scooters instead but they will charge me a fortune.

so...

I am now a shop assistant at a liscenced resturant, this is what pizza hut actually told me to say when i was going for insurance as they provide their own insurance for drivers so it really shouldnt have any effect with my non work insurance company but yet they will still charge extra.

I have had one crash so far on the way to work wearing my pizza hut stuff (i was in a car) and the fact that i work for pizza hut ddnt come up at all.

so bassically, how are the insurance people going to know what you actually work as?
