BCF choice - worst insurer's thread.

[st3v3]

Based on recent post's nomination has to be Hastings direct.

For me, I'd say NFU mutual. Had an incident a while ago and they (being the 3rd parties reps) just weren't interested in being involved, despite the guy not even having a rear number plate which was illegal. Wish I'd got pics...

Listed based on common dealings of consumer, not individual complaint, this means how they are listed gives an indication from a broad range of people how shit their standards are as a provider, no comments on specific cases in this post but feel free to add your dealing in a reply below to reflect how you dispise them and advise others. - Worst is 1st.

1) MCE
2) Hastings Direct
3) BikeSure
4) Swinton
5) Bennetts

MCE gets my vote. They very nearly cost me my license and my job and cost me £180 in recovery costs from the police after they told them i wasnt insured when i was

Bikesure - for insisting on BCF that a renewal premium will be the same price as a new quote. The lying/misunderstanding of the rep annoyed me.


As for actual issues, I've never had to claim so I haven't been on the receiving end of any major incompetency just yet. I'm rather hoping that it will stay that way.

[Nai]

Bennets. Did not have to claim off them but all 3 people I spoke to when I changed from Bennets to Devits at renewal time were so damned downright obnoxious because they didn't believe I could get it cheaper at Devits.

[MarJay]

MCE for becoming complete arses after taking over sponsorship of BSB. My theory is that they have more customers than they can comfortably deal with and they have not increased staffing levels, or training to cope.

I can't believe that they asked for more money than my MZ was worth to add it to my policy...

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

[Hetzer]

Swintons just tried to swindle £150 out of my old dear. She's 74 and fucked them off good, the fucking scum.

MCE.

Tried to transfer from 125cc (after test) to 600cc and they can't do it (fair enough) So, I try to cancel, sure I can but it cost me big time.

Upshot is, £182 policy, 2 months use and I get £49 back in 2 months from cancel date.

Robbing buncha parasites.

Wouldn't it be easier having a 'Best Insurers' thread - though I guess that would get no replies at all

So glad devitt hasn't come up, makes me feel better paying out £430 TP (including extras) with commuting for a year.
