stand alone insurance company

[hmmmnz]

what im after is an insurance company who deals directly with you, not with some 3rd party under writers,
if there is a claim they deal with it, not send it off to another company,

i had a bike stolen, and had to deal with 3 fucken companies to get it sorted, which took 3 months!!

compared to when i got my van stolen in nz,
ami who i was insured with dealt with it directly and had me paid out in 5 days!

does such a company exist in the uk??

id consider insuring 4 bikes, house, car, camper, and contents with them, just to save on hassle

Some of the bigger companies that we think 'write' for themselves, don't but have paperwork that makes it look like they do.
Similarly some of the big ones that do, then outsource the claims unit etc.
It's rather 'hit and miss' and you can find yourself talking to an arse that thinks their job is to make life difficult for you, irrelevant of who they actually work for.
The chances of talking to someone that's directly employed by the underwriting company is probably more likely with the bigger companies like NU, AXA/Zurich, LV, Churchill, Directline or if you go directly to the big Lloyds Syndicates like Hiscox or Amlin or BRIT via their web-sites. But they're also usually the ones that seem more expensive as they have to employ people to do the jobs (with the associated employee benefits etc) rather than out-source.

I've no idea which of these does bike insurance though...

I'm pretty sure Tesco deal with all of their stuff themselves.
A girl crashed into the back of me in the cage a few weeks ago. I rang my insurance company and they referred it to some random-ass claims company, who refused to let me take my car to a decent garage that I know.

She admitted fault to her insurance company (Tesco), they called me the first working day after the accident and have been extremely helpful throughout. Car is going in for repair next Tuesday, just over 2 weeks after the accident.

They don't underwrite themselves ( place where money comes from) just some companies have funds to pay out then wait on funds from underwriter
