Zitat von Adrian Nurney im Beitrag #30 try the link I posted above - for your £670 premium, changing from electrical engineer to electrical technician saves £200! Tech author £270! Electronics is cheaper then electrical. there's a list of dozens of alternatives but it seems being more specific about the sector saves money I did say underwriters are odd coves. |

I have BMW insurance and advised them of the following mods-Bar risers, lower foot pegs panniers, top box, mudsling, optimate. They said these are all accessories not modification and I do not need to tell them, which confused me. After 3 email I eventually got them to confirm whatever they called them I had told them they were on the bike. |

Zitat von JAG im Beitrag #32 some brokers have a better attitude to adaptations than others - I think Bennetts have a list on their website https://www.bennetts.co.uk/motorbike-insurance Zitat

Zitat von midlife crisis im Beitrag #39Zitat von Adrian Nurney im Beitrag #38 Saga own Bennetts now - I guess the larger proportion of motorcyclists are over 50 now, so probably a good way to target their specialist services for geriatrics |

Just received my renewal from Hastings Direct for £233 - virtually 100% increase over last year!! |

Zitat von midlife crisis im Beitrag #43 Wessie do they? well they are messing about with the competitions and rewards and I am not happy. I have also made complaint about the endorsement re not paying out claims if the bike is stolen within 500 metres of my house. Said it was unreasonable and should not be legal under contract law (who knows but sounds good). Written to Rip Off Britain as well, doubt they will do anything as it is about motorbikes. They are forcing bikers to try and fight off people who may be armed who are trying to steal your bike, bloody stupid. best Graham [/quote] As ever, read the small print before buying and pay extra for decent terms. One of my policies has the garage endorsement but unlike the one you refer to, they simply raise the excess by £200 if the bike is near my house and not in the garage between certain hours of the day. To me, this is reasonable i.e. do not leave your bike on the drive after 7pm or whatever it is but if it is nicked in the daytime e.g. if I nip into the house to use the toilet before setting of on a ride, then there is no penalty. It would be interesting to see if the clause from Bennetts has been tested in case law. It might be worth posing the question on the Honest John website or one of the magazines that has a legal page from someone like White Dalton. |
