Hi all, I’m looking for some guidance on insurance providers who can handle more unusual or bespoke requirements. My situation doesn’t fit neatly into the standard comparison‑site templates, and I’m finding that the usual online quotes either won’t process or don’t reflect what I actually need. Before I start ringing around every specialist broker in the UK, I thought I’d ask here first. Has anyone had good experiences with insurers or brokers who are flexible, knowledgeable, and willing to tailor a policy around non‑standard circumstances? Ducati‑friendly recommendations especially welcome. Thanks in advance — any pointers would be appreciated. Regards, WB.
Hey WB, I have been going through a very similar situation. I moved here from the US about 1 1/2 years ago and have only had my UK motorcycle license for about 6 months and just scored my car license this past week. In the insurance world, I am a zero, sub human, though I have been riding / driving since the early ‘80’s with no accidents and few minor tickets when I was young. I just purchased 2 new Triumph Tiger 900s and was shut down by most insurance companies. Triumph Insurance took care of me and made a policy that was really great. I will move my Ducati and my Wife’s ZX6R over to them as soon as we get the 1 year no claims paper in about 6 months. Worth a phone call and they do other bikes as well. Good luck
You might want to give a little more detail about the 'different' requirement you have, but actually speaking with a broker will always be the best option.
I use Adrian Flux (Bikesure) for my Spondon. Always helpful on the phone, sometimes you even get to speak with someone who knows a bit about bikes but not that often to be fair.
