What's the technique for getting insurance quotes - go through them all one at a time starting with the highest payers, or is there an easier way? -- Krusty '03 Tiger 955i '02 MV Senna (for sale) '96 Tiger (for sale) '79 Fantic Hiro 250 (for sale) '81 Corvette (for sale)
I go down the route of getting quotes as normal (comparison sites, brokers etc.), then see if any of the cheapest options are giving kickbacks.
This is for a car, but there are other bike insurers on there. E.g. Be Wiser do 50 quid, eBike 40 etc. -- Krusty '03 Tiger 955i '02 MV Senna (for sale) '96 Tiger (for sale) '79 Fantic Hiro 250 (for sale) '81 Corvette (for sale)
<ding> Always treat the cashback as a bonus, not a means to get a cheaper price. I'm still waiting for Churchill to pay £80 from my house insurance taken out in March 2008. All other insurance cashbacks have been paid: Bradford & Bingley, Lloyds TSB, Post Office, Budget & Prudential are ones I remembner from the last 2 years. Incidentally, all bar Budget & the PO are Churchill subsidiaries. One caveat. Do your research in BrowserA then sign up via Quidco using BrowserB. That way, you ensure that your purchase is tracked using the Quidco cookie rather than the one from some stupid meerkat.
OK, in that case, which would you pick - cheapest Meerkat quote of 148.10 from non-Quidco, or cheapest Quidco which is MoreThan for 175 with 75 cashback? Handy tip that - thanks. -- Krusty '03 Tiger 955i '02 MV Senna (for sale) '96 Tiger (for sale) '79 Fantic Hiro 250 (for sale) '81 Corvette (for sale)
You can send me 50% of your rebate to thank me if you like. -- Krusty '03 Tiger 955i '02 MV Senna (for sale) '96 Tiger (for sale) '79 Fantic Hiro 250 (for sale) '81 Corvette (for sale)
@mid.individual.net: I rarely go with the cheapest quote on the price comparison sites. There's usually a good reason why they are cheap, although you might be lucky and catch a reputable firm in discount mode. I'd also factor in that More Than have been on Quidco for a long time and have a pretty good, if slow, record of paying up. Who is the meerkat policy with? Random at Lloyds or an established name?
They're probably shite when it comes to claims, but we're talking 3rd party cover on a car that's worth maybe 500 quid, so it's not like I'd ever claim anyway. Think I'll probably go with them then. Some bunch called 1st Central. Only a few quid cheaper than AutoTrader, Barclays, Sabre & a few others. -- Krusty '03 Tiger 955i '02 MV Senna (for sale) '96 Tiger (for sale) '79 Fantic Hiro 250 (for sale) '81 Corvette (for sale)
I'd probably do the same. £25 bet at 2:1 Never heard of 1st Central - seems to be an Ebike-a-like. Gibraltar regulated with a parent company in Guernsey.
I always used "a friend" with very similar details when I was doing the comparison websites, as well as clearing cookies. Just to be sure. Now I simply get bum-raped by the Belgians.
They are. Unbelievably shite. Don't give a ****, forget half you tell them, won't ring back bunch of shites. And liars as well. They'll tell you one thing before you sign up and change their story if you claim. Well, if it's simply to meet your legal obligation at minimal costs, then go for it.
I have my car insured through Carole Nash, as I needed to cover a second car whilst maintaining cover on the first, a year ago. Due to the unique way they're funded (or something like that) they matched by bike NCD for the car, which otherwise would have rated zero NCD. This, obviously, saved me 60%, or, IOW, IRO 300 quid. This year's renewal quote, althoug showing 8 years NCD is over twice last year's premium, IRO 750 quid. Ulp. A swift screenscrape and I find that Swift Cover will do me (f'naar) for ~150 quid. Although I rate CN's service, 600 sheets is a lot to fork over and I'll be passenging with Iggy, methinks.
