 Posted: 09:48 - 26 Sep 2011 Post subject: Insurance... massive con |
 |
|
Hello people, so it's come to that point of the year when I had to renew my insurance... I've got a scooter but my insurers were asking for £800.00.
EIGHT HUNDRED POUNDS for a 50cc 11 plate gilera runner!!! I was amazed, but in all fairness my scoot has been stolen twice in 10 months (no fault of my own, was locked and everything).
so I shopped around went on gocompare..moneysupermarket... all those comparison sites, and sure they were cheaper than £800 but I was then advised by a mate of mine to try MCN compare I honestly didn't know about this comparison site, they do apparently specialise in bikes so bobs your uncle, filled it out and got a quote that was almost half on my renewal price.
thought i'd share this because if i didnt know about something like this i'm sure there are others.

So, not only does MCN spout a load of bollox in their paper they've taken to spamming forums to sell insurance.

You could have just not bothered claiming for a scooter, then your premiums wouldnt be over £800  |

Steady on, it's not spam. See previous thread where lubing up was predicted.
UPDATE
Ooops, I missed that it's a referral link. That's a SPAM for you, sir. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

So is using a referal link OK then......
As the proper url is https://insurance.motorcyclenews.com
Or is the OP directing you to a fake link to farm people's details.... ____________________ Just because my bike was A DIVVY, does not mean i am...... |

It may not be, but hiding a referral link in a short url is a bit crap. ____________________ Chances are quite high you are not in my Monkeysphere, and I don't care about you. Don't take it personally.

Spam rating revoked at the request of the rater.
Didn't check the link myself.
Yes, if it's an undisclosed referral which he's taken the effort to hide, seems like spam to me!
(Now checked and does look that way.)
OP: I suggest you change your link or disclose in the original post that it's a referral to avoid being rated as spam . |

so OP gets paid out more than he paid for insurance.
then gets upset when renewal would cover what the insurance has paid out.
op thinks he is getting conned
I assume OP has/will leave school with no qualifications and spend a lifetime on benefits. ____________________ Fallen Angel "Nae sniffing my seat now!!!!! "
