Insurance company f*****g fantasists

When I bought the RT last year, I was two months beyond the statutory limit for recognising my 7yrs NCB. That was very annoying indeed. I rang around and Bennetts gave me a reasonable quote considering they counted me as a first year biker on a 1200cc, albeit a fairly pedestrian one. 407 quid fully comp with compulsory 250 quid excess and a voluntary 150. I can live with that.

The renewal came through yesterday. Bennetts are pleased to inform me that I need not do anything at all, my auto-renewal will kick in two weeks time and as reward for my first year of trouble free biking, the premium has DOUBLED to 947 pounds with a compulsory 450 pounds excess plus 150 voluntary. Had someone actually reviewed that (an actual person), surely the letter would never have been posted, as it was clearly a waste of money.

I rang them last night, of course "due to higher than usual call volumes, we cant take your call right now but will have someone call you back within 24 hrs" which is a st service provider's way of switching your phone call from a time that is convenient to you, to a time that is convenient for them.

Cant wait for the phone to ring, I'm like a coiled fking spring.

Or you could have a moan here about it as Adrian Flux are of course Pistonheads official insurance partner.

I tried that when I was looking the first time, got crap service and was numerously not called back. So didn't bother again.
