First time Insurance

Any good companys to try. Things to watch out for etc?

I found Devittinsurance very reasonable for first insurance. Any better ones.

Pain is great. It lets me know I am alive.

Re: First time Insurance

i think youll find that every person is different so every company will quote you differently to someone you believe to be equal to yourself, bottom line call as many as you can to find the cheapest, im with motorcycle direct, but a friend, the same age as myself with a similar bike in the same town was quoted nearly twice the amount i was

young at heart and still faster than you

Re: First time Insurance

GOCOMPARE bringing back similar prices to devitt. Would you go for personal injury insurance if it is offered. Seems to be around £40 extra in most cases.

Re: First time Insurance

im using ebike pay as you go insurance, not only was it 22 quid a month for a 97 gpz500 valued rather optimistically for £1000, not garaged and on a provsional licence. Not only that but they give accelerated no claims discount so its 8 months = 1 year and free breakdown... there was something else some kind of insurance for 100000 but for the life of me i cant remember what it was lol. will probably stick with it the first two years and then take my three years no claims elsewhere! they gave me some kind of 20 quid off vouchers too, cant remember the details but if anybody gets a good qote from them give me a holler and i think we both get 20 quid off our premiums or something!

Re: First time Insurance

I was with bennetts, until they tried adding £80 on top of my premium, no-one could tell me why, even tho i had 1 extra years no-claim.
Asked for my no-claims bonus's and went with the AA.

Re: First time Insurance

bennets were the cheapest for my first time insurance, but then something happens to them and you have to go elsewhere in the second year

No one else will have the same quote as you, unless you all live at the same post code and all have the same circumstances!


Lots of insurance threads about in here somewhere


Some time's my mind doesn't only wander, it leaves completely ...........
