Got a quote from Carole Nash online on Saturday for two bikes. Reading through MCN saw advert that said use code CN10 for extra 10% off. Went back on line yesterday same details entered and there was no place to put the code however quote was £28 cheaper. I therefore rang them up to ask about the code. After speaking with her Manager the girl said it could not be used online but she would be able to use it on the phone. 25 minutes later she gave me a quote, including the 10% discount. The new price was £95 more than the online quote. She couldn't explain the difference in two online quotes either. Don't waste your time with so called phone offers, online prices beat them all. This was the cheapest for me having tried all the usual other companies.
Just shows that the prices are completely random and insurance is the biggest rip off around. CN quoted me £900 for one of my bikes, and I eventually got two bikes insured together for £220. Go figure!
Must admit I used Carole Nash as a bargaining chip yesterday... My insurance came to £127 and a few P with bikesure, did the meerkat and CN came out at 78. So rang bikesure and said, "beat you that?" pulled the price down to £92. Happy with that. I added personal injury cover too in that. So it's a similar price. Again, shows what a ripoff insurance is if they can wipe a 1/4 of the price off just like that. Oh... Fully comp, classic policy. With personal injury cover.
i was with CN for yrs as they do modern and (classic bikes with agreed values) but last year I tried Bemoto and they undercut CN by £50 but the extras made it much more worthwhile. the one downside of many bikes is getting them all on one policy
