You said HOW much?! Well I came to re-insure my Ducati Monster 600 today. I've only just passed my test a year ago but have 3 years no claims. I'm 21 at the moment. Down south in Southampton where I lived until coming to university I was paying £420 third party only. High but payable. That was with only 2 years no claims and a recent pass on my license. Now with 3 years no claims and living in Glasgow third party only has shot up to £850! Thats the lowest I could find from a dozen insurers. Why is third party only effected so much by location? I can see the reasoning behind theft being location based but why this. Basically I cannot afford to own a bike in Glasgow, which is really going to hurt me in terms of commuting and enjoyment. Sorry for the rant but this one really ticked me off. |
Have you tried Ducati Insurance? Discount for club members and it's only £25 to join so you could easily save more than your membership cost, many times over! http://www.ducatiinsurance.co.uk/ |
I second Antonye. No NCB and a history on my license where points really do make prizes.... TPFT on a 749 dark last year £475!!! I am in Stirling not far from Glasgow Give them a call.......... |
Thanks for the replies guys. I tried Ducati Insurance and they quoted me £724, about a £100 less than the rest but still quite a lot. I'm going to ring round and try and get it a bit lower by playing them off each other. Another thought is that I will only be living in this high risk area for 5 months before I move back permanently. Hopefully this will be able to push it a bit lower, if not I'll try and get quotes for a 6 month policy. |
I was ringing around for car quotes and i found that TPO was more epxensive than TPFT!! Also fully comp was only about 15% more expensive than TPFT. I think they are trying to get people to buy fully comp insurance by pushing up the prices of the alternatives. |
I did try TPFT as well but that was on the wrong side of £1500! |
Tranquil, Not strictly legit this but how about leaving the bike registered at your other less expensive address????? As you say you are only up here for 5 months then why go through the hassle?? If you have to claim god forbid you were up here visiting;) Makes sense mate just do it!!!! You're not a copper are you:P |
Try Laxtons Insurance - they were a lot cheaper for me than Ducati Insurance. |
H&R for me, cheaper than Ducati Insurance and in Scotland too |
BRILLIANT JPM! You just saved me a bomb! :sing: Third Party from H&R, £500. Nice but still a bit steep. TPFT from H&R £520, EXCELLENT! Thanks to everyone whos helped out here. |
