“When it came to my renewal I received a phone call about my renewal price. After 20 minutes I received a renewal quote of £650 compared to my online quote of £250. This has happened for my previous 2 renewals. Absolute waste of time.”
“A weird story. I sell my 400 Burgman to buy the 650 version, tell MCE, "I know it'll cost more,how much?" "No panic we'll call you back in 10". They do "No can do for you, too many cc's for your age/experience". Stunned silence at my end. Try a comparison site. Onto Bikesure, loads of results and the best bet was £187 ( I'd been paying £240 before) so called up and paid right then.
Punchline - the new Insurer was MCE.
Go figure, and tell me why - they can't!”
“I had to pay £345.00 for bike insurance while the bike itself cost me £700.00 and is almost half the price of my scooter. I believe that it should have been cheaper than this.
Also I had to call MCE for breakdown and the number given is a premium number of 0871. This adds cost to keep the bike on road or cost towards insurance.
Lastly when I called for breakdown, I was told that if bike breaks down within a mile radius of my home, then it is not covered. I don't get this thing as bike can break down any where. There should be no restriction of bike being outside a certain radius to get break down cover.
Regards.”
