Insurance Nonsense Again...

  1. So my SFS arrives Friday (maybe even tomorrow!)
    Insurance quote with MCE to add it to my current policy which has 8 months to run: £176.00
    Insurance quote from MCE for a full new policy: £106.00

    Insurance quote with my new insurer £84.00

    All fully comp with protected no claims max 2000 miles.

    Happy with that outcome :D:D:D

  2. I had a few issues with MCE when I changed my policy from my old bike to my Panigale.

    The first person I spoke to, made it sound like I'd just asked to slip his missus a cheeky one. Made such a big deal out of it.

    Second guy was fantastic, I must say.

  3. When I was with them, they wanted to increase the xs by £300 on my other bikes, just for adding a third bike to the policy, part way through the term.

  4. I was a firm fan of MCE after they dealt so well with a claim last year, after this weekend I'm not going near them again. The figures are eye watering due to said claim but I got qutoed £900 to add the new KTM onto the existing policy for the remaining six months. I went out and spent £11k on the bike and suddenly the quote had strangely disappeared and they wanted £1700 for only six months. It's being looked at internally but needless to say I havn't used them and will not ever again after the current policy runs out unless they come back this week offering me the original quote. I went with Carole Nash at ~£1300 for the year which is less than the original anyhow. I'm not amused by the hassle at all as I wouldn't have even bought the bike if I'd had this quote to start with.

  5. Used Carole Nash for years. Always found them helpful, efficient and competitive.
    Their Claims and recovery were exceptionally good when I had to use them a while back.

  6. Miss Pineapple had a bit of a nightmare with Carole Nash last year after someone pulled out on her and wrote her beloved Ducati Monster off. Basically Carole Nash slippery shouldered everything off to the underwriter and didn't deal with anything at all. Apparently it was the way the policy works, but why would you go through a broker if they don't do anything useful in the event of a claim?
