monty_onna_divvi Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 It's that time of year again for me to go out and spend some of my hard earned cash making sure my Divvi is safe from the White Vans :shock: and grubby little urchins :evil: on study leave again. Trouble is I just got a renewal quote from Carol Nash and it's gone up....ok no surprise there i guess, but i now have more no claims and it rose over 37% ( yes i am a sad stat man ). After i phoned them they told me it was so cheap last time round because I got a "joining discount" but there was no such thing as a loyalty discount. Is it just me or does that blow bigger chunks than my divvi at the moment?? Any ideas on another cheap place to get insurance......I need cheap cos the wife and kids drain any spare cash I can get and i dont wanna spend all my time at work doing overtime and not on my bike. Monty PS still after a manual or advice for me divvi......although i getting used to creating a lil smoke every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 ALWAYS switch insurers every year, cos each company will give you a silly price to get your business, then make money out of you from the second year on. I'm with Yamaha Insurance Services 08700 747374...give them a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 I prefer independent insurers, they're pretty cheap and most of them don't charge more after the first year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XT Alan Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Try using Hill House Hammond. I've been with them for years and their prices are always competitive and were better than Yamaha's Insurance on my new XT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1caz Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Norwich Union are the only people who will touch my R1 as it has major mods, but they gave me a multi policy as I have 5 others and I currently pay £900 a year fully comp ( mind you the 5 only total £80!)
