Insurance Renewal, Robbing Barstewards


Saul

Recommended Posts

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.

It's the norm sadly. Think that "pigs at the trough" pic in the funny thread applies to insurance companies too.

That is extremely expensive...its around 700 and something Canadian tire money...lol. 

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.

Things are way cheaper here....is it because of rampant bike theft  ?

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.

For the vehicle...740.....motocycle..Just below 500...

£165 is about 310 Canadian groats, so how is that more than 500?

Saul was paying 465 euros for his bike...maybe Scotland is way cheaper...

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 😉
