That's a good price. I've just been offered £174 with 4yrs ncb, rac, liability, leathers, personal injury and all mods declared for one storm.

Got until Mon to try and find something cheaper.

Just check the details for the coming year. The last time my bike insurance went down by a reasonable amount I found out they had removed breakdown cover. They didn't point it out though :crazy:

Good advice Chris, a couple of years ago I nearly got stung by a car insurance policy that had removed no claims protection, third party cover and increased my excess without my knowledge.

I didn't know anything until I received the documents and it was only the fact they had recorded the call and had record of me asking if they were offering the same cover as the previous year that sorted it for me.

A good job you were on the ball there Bob :clap:

It's easy not to look at the paperwork when you only get the policy cover in a PDF document online.

I think there was more of a chance you checked the details when you used to get a hard copy in the post. Although I believe some companies still offer this option, it easy to say yes to online documents instead,

Chris.
