Saul Posted September 29, 2025 Share Posted September 29, 2025 I know it's never a surprise as they do it every year but it doesn't hurt to call the robbing barstewards out. Bennetts fully comp renewal for my 73 plate Hornet CB750 £454.00 Hastings Direct for the same cover £165.00. I called Bennetts to cancel the renewal and they gave me a new quote of £365. Just seems a strange way to go about their business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that "pigs at the trough" pic in the funny thread applies to insurance companies too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you total it by your fault do they pay out for a new bike or just book value ? Market value pre agreed as far as I know. £5200 for the bike this year. Less excess of course.

I don't really know, not much of a problem where I live but is a problem in more densely populated areas of the UK. Also Britain is way more densely populated in general than Canada I would guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Im paying is full replacement cost..taxes and everything...so around 47 g for replacement...its not replaced on book value...im not sure for how long..id have to read up on that...think it has to do with the finance company forcing this on the insurance company... I don't pay Euros FFS. My policy was £165. Oh and I don't finance anything with the exception of my house but almost everybody has to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's what they wanted to charge me for auto renewal and why the thread is titled Robbing Barstewards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted September 30, 2025 Author Share Posted September 30, 2025 Its better than what we had before and pretty clear. First half of the year is the year itself and the second half is plus 50. So this year is 25 and 75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
