Hastings - How Bad Could It Be?

  1. So it's renewal time, I've not had my 'official' Ducati insurance quote yeet but I did a price comparison with MCN and they send me a quote each year.

    Ducati Insurance on my Multistrada V4S - £412 BUT with a £650 excess

    Hastings - £287 with a £250 excess

    A lot of the other companies have a £650 excess, some with £350, but higher premiums

    Had been insured with Hastings before but never needed to make a claim. Let's have some feedback, Good or Bad
     
  2. Like any broker, Hastings will have its advocates and its haters, you only find out how good when the shit hits the fan. I’d be more interested in who the underwriter is because I don’t involve the broker in a claim and definitely don’t use the broker’s claim handling firm. Andy
     
  3. No better and no worse than any of the others. I have them on two current policies and have had one claim through them a couple of years ago.
     
    • Thanks Thanks x 1
  4. I thought same when took out insurance with Hastings but they were great when i claimed 2 months ago. No hassles at all or with them or claims handlers 4th dimension. Took on board dealers pics of damage and coughed up (serious money) with no quibble in couple days :upyeah:

  5. Thank you,
    How would yo go about making a claim?
     
  6. I also have just changed to Hastings. No help on how they will perform if needed I'm afraid but like you with a £200pa cheaper quote it would be daft not to have done.
     
  7. I've moved over from Devitt (6years) to Footman James, they have the option to choose guaranteed value and £0.00 buy back which is great considering even a small accident is a write off nowadays.
    So if I drop my 916 I get £25,000 and the bike back with no deductions. They even added my Honda CBR600RR for free Total premium £615 with £200 Excess in S/E London.
