We all know the way it works, allow them to renew automatically and you willwittingly or unwittingly pay a premium for the pleasure / slothlessness / indifference. Mines due next month...I only have what I think is a modest car, 2015 Astra SRI,not that powerful, mediocre but reliable and quite...

I've been looking at getting some insurance for my bikes. (Theft only not public liability). They aren't expensive really... though to me they were. I have a CUBE Aim Race MTB and just bought a Brompton B75. So the most expensive is £750. This is just for me, so only one will be out of the house...

I'm thinking of investing a £1000 in a touring bike however this is a big spend for me and i cant afford to lose it, I'd need to insure it since I've had bikes stolen before and I know new shiny bikes attract thieves like flies to a dung heap, I need to know more about insurance, why would they...

Hi all, I recently bought my first ever brand new bike and I'd like to get it insured. Whilst I'm getting mine insured, I'd also like to get my wife and her bike insured too. It looks like lots of companies encourage multi-bike cover. However, they never give me an option to put her name on the...

OK, for the last few years Lady Byegad and I have been taking turns to insure our car, one year I'm the insured and she's the other driver. The next year the other way round. We drive almost exactly the same mileage, equaling between 48-52% of the total yearly miles. Sadly Lady Byegad has had...

If an insurance website asks you for your driving licence number then put it in. It reduced one of my quotes from £550 to £350. I also reduced my premium again by going direct to the company's website and directly entering my details there.

So home insurance renewal time again as is alway's the case it's gone up by about 15 quid nothing has changed no claim ect. So the game starts and you get looking around at quotes. Oh and what a surprise same cover , some company as a new customer it's cheeper. Add on cash back even better...

Hello all, I am looking for some advice from you guys (as usual)! I am currently arranging life insurance and critical illness cover so that our mortgage/bills are paid off in the event of the unthinkable happening. The salesman says that the life insurance will pay out if one of us croaks or...

I have read the insurance threads on the site, but just to clarify in the case of being offed and personal injury and or damage to bike the insurers linked with likes of BC or LCC will consider taking the other party that is alleged to have caused the collision to court in order to gain...

I have been struggling to find holiday insurance to cover my bike while in France, I have seen loads of options for adding skiing gear etc but nothing for a bike. Does anyone have some good suggestions please?

Had a little search.. We have Barclays home insurance with 2.5k theft cover for each bike for theft but we want more cover. We were thinking 4k cover for ebikes, for home break in theft, we dont leave them when in use. Any good companies or cycle organisations that are sensible price wise?

Reading another thread on here got me thinking about liability insurance. I do most of my cycling on my own as I work shifts and usually ride funny times. Currently not in a club so not got insurance. Who would be the best to go with. There is a few to choose from but what's peoples opinions

My household insurance policy came through for renewal. To impress me with their newest and best price they found a cheaper deal this year. Great. However, going through the small print there was no longer any cover for the 6 bikes at Chez HC. Twits! My opportunity to shop around. Separate...

Been with Co-op for years even though they have pushed prices considerably higher each year. Final straw......this renewal is up by 30%. No claims for many years etc so I phoned them to discuss it and tell them "you are forcing me to look elsewhere"...... no explanation but sorry, thats the...

Cycling liability insurance. This is something I have been thinking about having for years really but have never been 100% convinced about the need for it, given that cycling is really only an extension of walking or running as a means of leg powered transportation and I certainly wouldn't...

Long story short. We live by the bus stop. Recently a bus clipped our car which was parked in the street. Their insurance company nominated engineer came and inspected it in the street and said that it was easily repairable, that, given the age and (low) value they'd offer me £X for the damage...

Going to Tenerife tomorrow and just wondered if anyone knew a good deal on travel insurance which covered damage to bikes, and user falling off said bike.

I am in the process of shopping around for my car insurance due next month. When asked how much excess you want, the amount you choose is never the amount you are prepared to pay. For example, I put £250 excess and then it comes up with: Voluntary £250, Compulsory £ 245 making a total of £495...

For the past 9 years I have been driving a 2006 Toyota Corolla, now with 113k miles on the clock, and worth about £800 as a part exchange. Last weekend I agreed a deal on a Suzuki Swift (1200 cc, £30 VED, 55 mpg - so as sensible as they come). It's a 2014 model with 50k miles on the clock, worth...

Hi I want to insure my bike against theft (primarily). Any recommendations welcome

DfT plans for better awareness of cyclists from motorists and a promise of cheaper insurance. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46294511

Recently i fell off my bike, luckily i was able to brake my fall with only a few bruises, however my phone went flying having a good cover saved most of it but my screen is cracked on the point that i need to replace it. Looking forward i looked at phone insurance that's way to expensive and i...

One of my bikes got nicked a couple of weeks ago, my household insurance covered it, and I received the money today, so I went out and bought a brand new............ Reclining leather Sofa chair, the payout wasn't enough to cover the cost of the nicked bike. I hate insurance companies.

Hi there. I've always wanted a Bianchi and so I treated myself to a Bianchi Intenso Campagnolo Potenza, in celeste colour of course! Anyway, I have my BMC road bike insured via my home contents insurance but they only insure up to £1000. Can anyone recommend bike insurance companies for...

I would be greatly obliged if anyone can inform me if when you’re in full time education ie doing a degree for 3 years, that you get your national insurance contributions paid that go towards your state pension? I have looked on The yougov pension website at my forecast and I am a few years...

Hello again Yet more advice for a returning cyclist after 35 years.... As some of you know I am due to collect my first bike after a 35 year break... now, as this has cost me a lot of money I am looking at sorting insurance out.... Evans Cycles offer there own scheme which seems...

Just had a letter from my bank about taking out home and content insurance which is due for renewal on 14 May. My present policy is not with them. As a valued customer, they are offering me 40% off plus another 10% introductory offer so I filled in their form for a quote. It works out still £30...

So mine is up for renewal. I have 2 bikes specified but no other high value items. 3 years ago we were broken into and my bikes stolen. £3K claim was quickly settled. As expected, the next year the cost went up and again the following year. But this year it has gone up again, quite a lot. When I...

I'm trying to get travel insurance for a short touring holiday across the centre of Spain. I've got numerous quotes, but almost all of them link back to the same - or very similar - terms and conditions which cover as standard touring only up to a height of 1000m. The problem is that large...

As per title, anyone have any experience of it? <proud Dad>Ms PM passed her driving test today </proud Dad> and is now eyeing up my wifes Renault Zoe, and dropping hints, but she won't be using it that much. University commute will still be bus, but picking up drunken Dad from pub is a...
