It’s coming up to that time of year again.

Last year I insured through one of the comparison sites as I’ve always done.

Taking a look at the documents for last year I see that I paid £87 to the insurance company and £30 broker fee.

Now that seems an excessive price for not a lot of work.

How do you bypass the broker?

Is it a simple enough thing to get insurance directly from the company insuring you?

I’d imagine you would still get charged a set up fee of some kind however you went about it. No one works for nothing.

The only way is to try.

I've found my Broker gets better deals (more cover) and better rates then if I go direct on my car insurance

Bikes I've just used a comparison site as it was so cheap I CBA to call around
