Insurance - Sigh

[Neepling]

Hi all,

It's that time of year again when I spend more time that I'd like gathering insurance quotes.
I've done the normal Go Compare, confused.com searches and find some cheaper than my current insurer, some vastly more expensive - same old same old .... ...

Bennetts came in at around £100 cheaper for fully comp but I hear bad things about Bennetts.

So - I was wondering if anybody has any glowing endorsments of any insurance company.

For reference - I currently use Dial Direct as a broker who came up with a quote of £300 for fully comp for a ZX6R (T reg) with legal cover, European cover and insurance on any other bike etc, however £350 compulsary excess (no voluntary).

cheers

John

Have you tried www.thebikeinsurer.tv?

They've always given me better comparison quotes than the others.

Just tried getting a quote online from Carole Nash - apparently ZX-6R's weren't made before 2007! ... ... Hmm

In terms of service, I found H&R Insurance pretty good, normally got straight through to talk to someone, and they always seemed very competent.

Devitt online quote was £250 for my bike. Gave them a ring, 2 minutes haggle, down to £105.

+1 for www.thebikeinsurer.co.uk.

I insured with Swinton Bikes this year, they gave me the cheapest quote, then added £30 cashback into the deal!

Anyone got any views on Devitt for a 3rd party insurance? They come out stupid cheap for me, but I have never heard of them, no idea if they are a horror story company or not (which to be fair, most insurance company's have horror story's but ya know, nice ta know).

I did an insurance quote with Thebikeinsurer £495 tpft with 300 voluntary and 500 compulsory ....When to compare the market and I got £460 with no excess or compulsory ... I'll bloody snap that up

[Wozza]

Compare the market is currently better for me than the bike insurer too. Although the bike insurer guarantee to be the cheapest, somehow...

[Jadc]

Ebikesure Offered me the best quote from compare the market but on thebikeinsurer they was the most expensive even thought I gave same details strange! hey ho false advertisement if so

Different insurance companys will be better or worse for different people. The cheapest quote that came back from thebikeinsurer.co.uk was five times more expensive than quotes I've had from Devitt.

I used a comparison website last year for my insurance and swinton was the best quote for me. However my renewal quote this year with them has gone sky high and others have plumetted. Swinton want nearly £600 full comp, I'm only paying just over £300 with them now. Devitt on the other hand wanted something like £105 fully comp. Can't really argue with that, but as has been mentioned already, I've never heard of the company so have no idea how good/bad they are.

EDIT: Quick google explains that Devitt is a broker bought by the Churchill group in 1999.
