Classic insurance

(1/3) > >>

ogri211:
This is a question that is asked often on the various classic bike forums that I am a member of. Everyone is on about the prices ect, just one question has anyone ever made a claim on any of these different classic policies, I have found that with cars you may get cheap policies but some of them are very reluctant to pay out and will do anything to avoid it, it would be beneficial for everyone to be recommended a company that has gave good service after a claim has been made. Has anyone got any good or bad stories about making a claim on a classic bike.

I normally end up with Adrian flux. My 750 took a whack to the front weeks after getting it Bent spokes, bent single cut front mudguard, side stand, smashed clocks and headlight bucket and fork ears. So not a cheap fix. The tit that hit it denied all but I got paid out fairly quickly so no complaints from me.

  I have never claimed for damage,the only thing  was a puncture about 85 miles from home up in mid wales ,

 the service was first class ,That was with CIA insurance,
BUT,they are not so good any more,got very expensive,deleting cover to maintain price,

this year my insurance was for the CB500 and RD125, quoted £140 renewal,
happened to read the "small print" and found "recovery" was an extra £65 per bike !! effectively adding £130 !

  since got great cover from Peter James,everything I need for £140 plus £10 set up fee.

I use Peter James myself , this year I got an unlimited  mileage policy for my 3 bikes as the previous one was 1000 miles per bike which I can cover very easy, I go out most Saturday mornings and do my favorite circuit of about 120 miles so its easy to go over I made the first claim of my life when I got a puncture on my GT750 and didnt want to leave it anywhere, also its tricky to fix on the road with the 4 exhausts, but they came and took me home within about an hour and a half.

Carole Nash renewel has come in at £181. Up £50 from last year. Seems a bit steep to me.
