As other say, MCE are cheap but shite. I Just paid £297 for my 2 bikes, Bennets wanted £470, CN £1100
I'm 30 licence for 11 years and 9 NCB, no claims or points and the bikes are a 15 year old TDM900 and an 11 year old Speed Four ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

WANTED:- Fujinon (Fuji) M42 (Screw on) lenses, let me know if you have anything. |

If you think there will unlikely be a problem of a claim, then they are cheap which is what most of us want.
I have had claims against others and MCE or their lawyers were pretty good. They were persistent when I was a lazy shit to send documents back etc... ____________________ Hit the G spot. |

That was on a Sunday and I reported it to MCE that day and in more detail the next day. Bike did not go down and I was not injured. However the front wheel was smashed round so badly the bike was not rideable.
Next thing I heard from MCE, despite my chasing, was 22 April when they told me the bike would be collected for inspection. That didn't happen till early May and eventually I got the bike back in early September.
Nobody cared. Nobody called back when they said they would. I only got the bike back when I did after I contacted the chief exec. Customer service at MCE does not exist. They have no concern for individual circumstances and no-one will ever "own" a problem.
That said, I did get the bike back fully repaired. I saved a little bit of money by complaining to the ombudsman who awarded me a few hundred ponds in compo.
I decided that, to me, the hassle I went through with MCE was not worth the lower premium. I personally will never use them again but, as others have said, it's your decision. |
One way round that is to have 3rd party only cover from MCE. That way the only claims on your MCE insurance will be someone else's problem. Get your breakdown, theft or what ever cover from a company with a much better reputation. I still think your not gonna be much better off in the long term tho. Make a claim for a loss, and you will ultimately end up paying it back eventually through increased premiums. Insurance is one big cunt. ____________________ Some say that he is the sole survivor of Atlantis, and that he refused to speed test a new Hayabusa this morning simply because there was no milk for his Brexit.
