Theft only insurance

Jamie. · World Chat Champion Joined: 27 Dec 2005 Karma :

My bike has spent more time uninsured than it has been insured, is it possible to get 'theft only' insurance?

I don't get much time to ride it so tend to insure it for the summer etc.

I've heard of people with classic vehicles that never get taken on the road having theft only insurance, is this available for bikes too?

Any info would be appreciated.

There are companies who do 'garaged' or 'laid up' insurance quotes.

IIRC Footman James is one, maybe Devitt. Carole Nash don't as I asked just recently (although a friend got a policy from them a few years ago). Maybe try H&R as well, there will be a few other I'm sure.

Hi,

At Sorn we can cover you for fire and theft whilst your bike is laid up.

The more modern the bike the more security we will need (like a ground anchor and chain or maybe even an active alarm) but you can visit our website at www.sorninsurance.co.uk and get a quote, it takes 2 minutes.

You can get cover for 6 months and even get agreed value!

If there's something you need a bit of help with, just give us a call. We are based in Saffron Walden in Essex and our number is 0844-3188398. We are confident we can cover any bike, of any age and cc in the UK at a competitive premium.

We hope that helps.

Hmmmm - that policy for 6 months for one of my bikes is £222! Can get tpft for a year for £71 - and get to ride the thing. What a joke.

Hi,

That price certainly doesnt look right.

As we said before we are willing to look at each case if you think something doesn't look right (mainly the price!). We will always look to provide you with something that's competitive where we can but we can't always offer a premium that you think you want to pay (if that makes sense)

If it's OK we'll call you later to discuss this and provide you with a correct premium.

If there is ever a query or a problem you can speak to us on this forum.

We think you've got the wrong end of the stick here to be fair.

The government has made it clear that you must make a choice. The choice is to Insure (in the usual way Comp, Third Party Fire & Theft or Third Party Only) or SORN your vehicle. You just can't lay the bike up without road legal Insurance with it being taxed.

So if you SORN it you won't have tax and you usually don't have cover (depending on when your policy runs out) but we are making available Fire and Theft cover when its kept off the road, which to be fair we think the bike industry has needed this type of product anyway even before the legislation came in.

Its a real sticky area and it will catch people out (as has well been documented in the press).

Irrespective of any circumstance we are looking to provide a product to bikers that allows them the peace of mind that they have some over whilst their bike is off the road.

Thanks

Sorn insurance - I was already to defend you and even consider deleting some 'spam' ratings.

You have a well written post which is directly related to the thread and you make it clear it is your own service you are offering, rather than hiding it.

However, by bringing up an old thread, you fell at the last (first?) hurdle!
