Not to impressed with Carole Nash Evil or Very Mad

I wanted to do a big ride next week and would much rather go on the VFR750 than the old FZR.

They are unable to insure me for a day or two on the VFR in addition the the Fizzer as it's a 'one bike policy'
The only thing I can do is change the bike on the policy for the remainder of the term or take out a completely new 12 month policy then cancel in after a days riding (yeah right!)

Unless they can do me a decent multiple bike policy at renawl i'll (with heavy heart) be going elsewere.


On the positive side though - The phone was answered after 2 rings, by a PERSON, who could advise my without passing me across 15 different departments!
There service is excellent but i'm just very dissapointed they can't accomadate my insurance needs. Sad

FWIW when I got my newer bike I gave them a call to transfer the insurance from the old one. I thought the old one would remain uninsured but the girl on the 'phone told me they could insure both bikes.

Turned out I'd cancel my policy on the old bike (and get a bit of a refund) and then have a new policy with the newer one and then add the old bike to it. From the quote for the newer bike it only cost £15 to add the old bike. Well, I think that's what happened anyhow. Thought the total price was ok so went for it. End result was I got insurance certificates for both bikes.

From what you wrote I'm surprised they didn't offer you something similar. Maybe worth another 'phone call.

HTH Thumbs Up

There is no great risk mate. They could have done it if I possibly had a different type of policy.

Its quite common on car policys. You have a car, go to buy another, want to do the legal thing and insure it before driving home.

I only wanted TPO cover for prob 8-10 hrs and would have quite happily paid for it but they weren't interested.
This why I tend to try and use smaller owner run businesses.

E-bike does a pay as you go service and you can insure more than one bike I think. I ended up going with e-bike after Bennets messed me around Evil or Very Mad and got a quote from e-bike half the price Bennets were charging Very Happy .E-bike only do insure on-line btw.

I have done this earlier in the year but they never offered me a policy with both bikes ridable Confused
In fact to trade up the the VFR from the Fizzer for the remaining 4 months of the policy cost me and extra £200!
Then to trade back to the Fizzer about a month later I got a refund of....£67 Evil or Very Mad

I could do this switch of bikes again but TBH its not worth all the hassle of changing paperwork, debits and credits, phone calls etc etc for one ride.
