Bennetts's admin fee craze

[Frost]

This is the kind of crap that made me leave Bennetts several years ago, never to return. The last policy i had with them i had to leave running even after i had sold the bike, as cancelling would have been more expensive.

Even so i got a quote from them for the new bike just to see what prices were like... £450. Guess they need the cash to pay for all those TV ads.

Instead i went with a company called 1st Quote. Been with them before and never had any hassle, though to be fair i've never claimed... £85

LOL...I just got a quote from Tesco insurance for £661 FC. Bennetts can definately go screw themselves and their admin fees.

Oh also, excess, do you pay exess when your at fault in an accident? Or do you pay excess in any claim?

I can only speak from personal experiance with Bennetts but on saturday i phoned them up to tell them i was no longer on a provisional and that i would like pillion cover added aswell and there was no fee . The woman i spoke to was even quite suprised when the system didnt show a £25 admin fee as it had been the first thing she had warned me about.

For me its all about e-bike.

When owning a 125 they are perfect on PAYG as you can cancell at anytime when you pass and get a bigger bike.

Of course PAYG is more expensive but you get a NCB every 8 months.

I passed my test in Feb and as e-bike allow you to do everything yourself online you can go on add bikes remove bikes change address and license all for free. Of course if your premium rises you have to pay the extra.

When I get my new bike I plan on insuring on a standard 1 year policy with ebike since they are not much more expensive than anyone else.

I was hit by a take-away driver last year and ebike and the laws, private doctors etc.. they use were very impressive. And that was on a third party pay as you go policy.

I did recently do a quote search and as I say they were more expensive than some brokers but not by too much.
