To avoid having to ring every number in MCN give www.thebikeinsurer.com a try.It's ;ike confused but just for bikes using at least 10 different sites.

Just tried Bikesure, as someone mentioned that they also do comprehensive cover on anyone elses bike for free.

Gobsmackingly, it came in about £150 cheaper than either A-Plan or the AA. The biggies decided to rip the piss mercilessly this year, as I live in scum-infested SE London

I am with Westhill Insurance Services based in Bexleyheath tel 08712 221565 Email Admin@westhillgroup.co.uk. So far they have provided a brilliant service and have beaten other cheaper qoutes that i have got from other companys.When i first phoned up they were about £180 cheaper than my cheapest qoute.

Ramasis have always been the best for me by quite a margin.

Ebike, Ebike, Ebike.

£750 first year premium. Smash the bike up due to bunny rabbis all over the road , £3,500 bill. Second year premium goes down by £100.

ebike were £100 more for my two bikes than my current insurers, Bike Team. Bennetts (usually more expensive for me) were surprisingly about £50 cheaper.

Bennets and Carole Nash have always been stupidly expensive for me too.

I agree:

Carol Nash have always been overpriced, and I'd just steer well clear of the big name car insurers who also do bikes.

You've got to go to the specialists really.

I had quotes ranging from 550 Fully Comp to over 1300 - I'd shop around, get some quotes then do some haggling. . . .worked for me.
