yeah - agree with your statements - don't like it though.

So I just got knocked off my motorbike.............100% fault on other party, not a penny paid by me on excess. Their insurance paid for the bike and my gear. Yet - I'm now a higher risk, as I've had an accident, even though not my fault, and thus an increase in premium. I can see why they've chosen to do that, but it seems out of order to me.

Edited to add, my Motorbike NCB and car NCB are two different things - in that, even if i'm NOT using my Car NCB, I can't apply it to a bike. It's definitely all one sided.

Yeah I agree. I thought no fault claims wouldn’t affect your next premium, turns out I was wrong. It’s such a lose lose situation insurance premiums

There is one very simple rule that I apply with insurance : if only you are affected, never claim (unless it’s a right off situation) - simple - it’s a mugs game smile

double wow - did you lose your NCB in entirety?

Not sure who you use (sorry just spotted it's AF) - but I find Classic Line rather excellent - maybe for renewal time?
Sorry selfish gene, I might be wrong here but I thought once you claimed for a total loss on a policy that policy was in effect terminated. the should leave the OP to take up a new policy with whoever he chooses.

I might be wrong not having much personal dealings with insurance companies (never claimed), just what I have gleaned from PH.
Oh I didn't know that either............fortunately never had a total loss etc. So does it follow, that even with a protected NCB - the total loss wipes that out?

Makes the thieving scum even more of a nightmare.
Not true. Or certainly not true on all policies. I had a total loss a couple of years ago and was suprised when I changed my car and actually got a refund on the premium I had already payed due to the replacement being a cheaper car!

My local broker (Norfolk) Adrian Flux's most competetive quote was


£3,250.00

"because of the theft". Apparently having your car stolen is your fault as they don't have anyone else to claim against. Makes a tracker look good value.
That’s outrageous,

I am now moving to a multi car policy with a HNW broker. However, take this s fair warning of what might happen to your premiums if you have your car stolen, even if it's recovered.

My insurance premium with Adrian Flux for the stolen orange 911 was about £450 per year. Who would like to guess what they've quoted for this one on similar terms? 10 points to the nearest guess.



Beautiful.

Did your insurance pay out already ?

A 2.7 RS was apparently been stolen from a car park in Pimlico the other night, sounds like there might be a gang targeting classic Porsches?

Oops, fat fingers meant wrong engine capacity!

Just to add to the insurance part of the discussion..

I think every insurance is different, we had our X5 stolen last year. We replaced with a virtually identical car (with added security measures I should add..) and the insurance contract was not terminated at this point but rolled on to the new car. There was also no noticable increase in premium when we renewed. We have NCB protection.

Not to say it wasn't a complete nightmare, but we were not much out of pocket.

What are the bets the 3.0 turbo and 2.7rs were "ordered" by the same customer probably somewhere warm and sandy.
