Bennetts Insurance - Beware!

A cautionary tale. Last year I had 5 bikes insured on one policy with Bennetts. I sold one and phoned and had it removed. Three months later the renewal date came up but no notice from Bennetts. When I phoned they had cancelled the whole policy - I had been riding un-insured. When I asked about the re-fund thay said they has credited to may card (they hadn't) When I asked which card they said they were not allowed to keep records of cards - how did you credit it then - stunned silence. I renewed with them on the promise they would find the re-fund. Never did.
This year the renewal arrived. £346 - I phoned and said never again with you people, take me off your records NOW. One week later renewal reminder arrives, this time for £494.
I have taken out a policy with Motorcycle Direct - £216 (no mileage limitations and lower excess)

Bennetts

That's interesting............I have three bikes, two are with Bennetts, when I tried to insure the third with them I was told "You cannot have more than two bikes on one policy"

I had to go elsewher and pay full price for a single bike.

Something smells.................

Carole Nash has my business for bike and car. They've always seemed decent enough to deal with and do what they say.

ebikeinsurance.co.uk for me really good and plenty of european use included. It does cost £50 more for european breakdown cover but I had my van with them and car too.

Insurance scam

I've just got my renewal quote from Adrian Flux for £140 which seemed ok until I read that it includes "£15 policy issue fee".
What the f*** is that all about!
Anyway I got on t'internet and found a policy for £105,better terms than Fluxy as well.

You were lucky! Carole Nash = £39!!! You make a change mid-term, £30 please. I have paid £99 to Carole Nash within the space of a month just for 1 bike change, 1 bike addition and policy renewal! That's just their fees, not premiums.
