Try the Bike Insurer website. Hastings was £250 cheaper than the renewal I had from Bennett’s. |

For advice on which order to get quotes as you sometimes get different prices via different sites (some are independent, some will push the policies of their parent, ignoring cheaper companies) see Martin Lewis' advice at https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/car-insurance/ (most of the sites cover bikes) |

Zitat von Adrian Nurney im Beitrag #18 Have you tried being creative with job titles? Salespeople, publicans, actors & musicians are really bad news. My brother is a professional musician but he also makes and repairs instruments so he is a craftsman for insurance purposes. Makes quite a difference. Or are you swimming against the tide by living in a dodgy postcode; having an appalling claims history; declaring a medical condition to DVLA; had a recent ban or conviction; being under 25 years or some other category of perceived underwriting risk? |

Cheers Wessie, |

It’s not the £16,000 cost of your bike that should worry you, it’s the millions of pounds in claims against you if you cause an accident in which others are injured and your insurance is void on a ‘technicality’. |

Either way, it doesn't pay to give incorrect info, whether its pay damages or replacing the bike. |

Zitat von Adrian Nurney im Beitrag #22 I was not suggesting making up something, just using an alternative description as per https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/insura...nce-job-picker/ This might be difficult if you are a police officer but many people have pretty vague job titles and there are limited categories to select on the insurance forms e.g. I work for a county council. Many of my colleagues could call themselves a local government officer, an administrator, a supervisor |

Will give it a go Wessie, just tried another that came out at £715 Devitt |

Zitat von Adrian Nurney im Beitrag #24 oh, the other nugget from MSE - don't get a quote too early, don't leave it too late. Get a quote between 21-25 days from expiry of current policy. Underwriters are weird but I have tested this advice and it rings true... |

Swinton £850 |

Zitat von Adrian Nurney im Beitrag #24 BMW insurance declined to insure me, apparently down to my postcode and no-garage combination. Devitt, on the other hand, scored just under £500 and were (almost) the most competitively priced. I've never used them before, but here goes... I fiddled with the job title whilst getting quotes. I found a distinct disadvantage when using "company director", to the tune of around £250, so stuck with "security consultant" instead! Current: 2015 BMW R1200RS Sport SE, 2015 Honda VFR800X, 2003 Yamaha TDM900 |
