Cheapest as I am sure you don't intend on claiming, and they will all be cnuts anyway.

[Ribenapigeon]

Carole Nash quoted £233.

I donmind paying a bit more if its a decent company if I ever have to make a claim.

Legal cover is worthless.

Those companies are the insurance brokers, hassle when claiming is down to the insurance company who underwrites the policy.

How much the excess is is something to consider when choosing.

Protected no claims?

Personally I'd just go with the cheapest quote.

[sabian92]

MCE's helmet/leathers cover at least for me is only 350 quid with 100 quid excess.

Not worth the paper it's written on considering my helmet alone is £200.

I just went with MCE. I was looking for a policy with "overseas riding" and finally decided to just check the cheapest which was MCE and when I called them discovered they offer 6 months protection when riding in Europe. That's more than the 90 day cover most of these "overseas" policies offer. This includes UK breakdown cover although I can upgrade at a later date to include the rest of Europe.

Excess is £500 though, and the £350 helmet/leathers option is pointless (my helmet cost £400). That and the bike they offer as a loaner if you have an accident is a 125 which is weak.

Last year I went with Carole Nash when I had my SV650 which was £250 odd tpft. This time they wanted £580tpft for a CBR600. MCE was £191.

MCE have spammed BCF, therefore they're shit. But I got to ruin their blog with nobcat so that makes up for it slightly.

There are plenty of threads on BCF about people having problems with MCE but I'm sure if you look around the internets then you can find complaints about all insurance companies.

Don't touch MCE. Since they started sponsoring BSB they have more customers than they can handle and their customer service has gone to crap.

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

Weak... guess I better stay rubber side down then!

Whatevers cheapest. If its inclusive of breakdown i factor that into costs too personally.

I just went to MCE after 3-4 years with Bikesure as it was vastly cheap. Still inc breakdown and the useless legal cover bits.

Mentioned various modifications and they didn't increase the premium at all which suprised me First time i've been 100% accurate I think

Any chance you could go into a bit of detail cos there's a huge range of things that could mean?

[Ariel Badger]

Avoid Carol Nash.

@-Matt-
Yeah, they only really insure sensible bikes. Anything other than commuter and possibly sports/tourer, you'll likely get much cheaper quotes elsewhere.

However they let you list all the modifications that you want, for free, which is nice.

Insurance is just another tax.. pay the cheapest cos non of them want to pay out and make it as difficult to claim as they legally can.

[Ste]

Claiming from MCE or claiming using their legal cover?

Copycat, you seem to not understand what the word tax means.

[Ribenapigeon]

I had not heard of wicked quotes before but of their all much of a sameness then i'll maybe give them a call.
