Just motorcycle insurance, avoid using if you do not want to have charges placed on you for anything they can think off.
Would not suprise me if they charged you for taking a shit.
Even charged me to cancel a policy which in my eye they owed me.

Avoid!

Mine want to charge me £50 to cancel mine, 5 months left on the policy.

The best bit is that the insurance is on a dirty great big Ducati, and they won't transfer the cover to my little Honda C90. They told me they can't insure it! Laughing

Wankers.

I normally big up eBike because they don't charge for mid-term policy changes, but they've sent me a bill for something like £34.88 (apparently recovered 12p from the underwriter? Wink) outstanding after cancellation.

And despite insisting on doing everything else online, I have to call an 0845 number to pay it. Right, good luck with that. Rolling Eyes

Just Motorcycle Insurance were the least helpful and often plain rude people I've ever had to deal with.

Just my 2p.

I don't normally like being helpful, but my advice on this one is as follows;

When you've found your quote, speak to the insurer directly (over the phone). Tell them you'll book it there and then if they wave any admin charges you get throughout the policy. Some will agree to wave them all, some will limit to 3. They'll do it - they will do what they can to get your business.

I'm insured with Just Motorcycle Insurance. Found the guy on the phone OK and were quite a bit cheaper than anywhere else. I asked first about charges for changing mileage as I don't know how much I'll do yet, and the difference was the same as the charge. Just went for that option to save me the hassle...
