Hello All. I'm new to biking and have just passed my full bike test. I've already looked at some of the points on the site, but still find it all confusing and expensive to find the right deal for my 1st insurance policy, i have tried all the co's in the MCN and all much the same, MCE, Bennetts and Carole Nash seem to be the biggest but are they the best??? ive tried all the others and the best so far seems to be Falcon Bikes. Because im new to this i dont want to get ripped off, has anyone else tried these and are they any good??

PLEASE HELP i just want to get out and ride my CBR 600

Most insurance companies are brokers and so the service you get when claiming is down to the insurance provider themselves - and you may find that all the brokers are offering policies from the same provider.

The best advice I can give is play them off against each other and get the best deals you can - make sure you have legal cover. Extras like breakdown cover, helmet and leathers, european cover etc. Carole Nash and MCE tend to include these things as a matter of course, where as Bennett's don't include legal cover with their initial quote.

just keep calling , buy a copy of auto trader and call them ALL,

I didn't call that many but the big brokers

ie

MCD
bennets
Carole nash

were all around£500

I called a round 5 places and got it to £380,

I then tried ebike they said £325

I then called Adrian Flux who annilated them all,

with £315, for TPFT (all above were TPO) unlimited miles , legal expenses, personal injury up to 10K.

I also bought EU travel + break down from them AND sneakily got 2 months free ontop.


The moral of the story? , keep calling , AXA and Chaucer always seem great for new riders.

Try

https://www.ebikeinsurance.co.uk/

Found them way cheaper than Bennets and as for Carol Nash, nearly died when I got their quote.

eBike also include free roadside breakdown, worth another £40.

Thanks for all your suggestions, i did try all the big names as mentioned, Carole nash were ok but rest were ridiculous, i rang everyone in the MCN and eventually got the best deal of a company called Falcon Bikes, the lad i spoke to knew more about bikes than me (Which made a change). anyway had a good weekend riding. once again, thanks for your help, maybe we can organise a ride out sometime???

If your looking for insurance try Falcon Bikes on 0845 337 1531 and mention you are a BCF member as they said they do deals for all bike forum members.....
