'Just had the renewal quote from Bennetts and not a happy bunny.
I insured my last bike, a 1990 ZX10b Kawasaki, with Bennetts last year after getting a decent quote from them. When I bought the TDM earlier this year I simply changed the bike on the policy and they charged me £50 for the privilege which I thought wasn't too bad so paid up and thought no more of it.
The policy is up for renewal this month, but the quote for £177 fully comp plus £20 admin charge seems excessive to me (52yrs, full no claims, garaged, datatag, titan disc lock etc).
I checked on previous posts on here and looked at the Motorcycle Insurance site. 28 quotes less than Bennets, from £98 to £175 with some offering breakdown cover, ins protection, and or legal protection, none of which Bennetts offered, and with similar or better voluntary/compulsory excess!!
I tried to phone Bennetts and got the usual prolonged wait on the phone after answering the preliminary questions but not actually getting to speak to anyone properly. I tried to email and cancel the renewal payment but they replied that I must phone to cancel the payment so that is what I fully intend to do.
Crap service all round and I will certainly be taking my business elsewhere!!!!
