Bike, well any vehicle Insurance (without the red blobs)

[Polarbear]

Has anyone renewed their bike insurance recently? My car insurance is due (for both wifies and my car) and has dropped significantly, About £80 down between both cars and that's purely a renewal quote, no confused.com searches yet.

I'm curious to know if the bike ones are dropping as well. I have to renew mine when the better weather arrives (yes, I am officially a summer riding pussy) so it might pay to do it now rather than wait and find insurance going up like everything else.

Anyone with a crystal ball I suppose

Bike policy dropped a lot last year, gone back to more normal prices this year.

No significant changes, got loads of NCB and old so not like I'm a 21 yr old who just got their first years NCB.

Don't recall car insurance changing much back in September.

VFR insurance renewed in Nov/Dec last year - big drop. No idea why but I'm not complaining! Comparison site had a lower price for my existing insurer than their renewal though, but when I rang up they aligned it for me.

Just had my renewal through for my Street Triple from Hastings, was £183 last year, renewal with same company is £168

Though if i go back to the same insurance company and take out a fresh quote, its £162 (with protected no claims this time, and a lower excess)

The strangest thing was the excess, with £200 voluntary (£400 compulsary) it was £162.08

With £0 voluntary (£400 compulsary) it was £162.02

Figure that out

After MCE fucked me on both bike policies, I went with Bikesure on a multi-bike policy. Fuck me, the amount of backwards and forwards with these cunts and their underwriter. Price of the insurance has went up twice over two conversations because they said to me that I said one of my bikes will be on private property (which it will be 99 nights out of 100 in reality) but if its' parked anywhere else overnight then insurance won't cover it, so that forced my hand in case on the one-time that it is parked up overnight somewhere other than home it gets fucked, nicked, etc.

Then I made the mistake of answering truthfully on whether it had modifications, even though they were done by the previous owner (the can, heated grips, etc) and this caused some backwards and forwards.

The cost increase was only something like £38 but I am more annoyed that I've had to be on calls with them totalling about two hours. Never going to bother trying multi-bike policies again.
