I faxed every number on the list.. got about 10 quotes from it, mostly competitive but some just plain silly like £1200!! I went for Laxtons at £650 fully comp on an ST2 with no NCB. That is about £200 cheaper than my current bike insurer. Great idea.. thanks for the tip. It took me an hour and ten minutes to do the faxing and saved £200. Gotta be worth a try...!

I did it a month or so ago, and funnily enough ended up with Laxtons ..
Fantastic tip - thanks, I sent out a fax at the end of last week, had about 15 replies and saved about £60 over my existing insurance companies best quote, and all for minimal effort.
Laxtons were the best - £380 on my 749s, fully comp, termi, gauranteed NCD, riding other bikes, full legal cover.
Sorry I couldn't add any more fax numbers to your list, but I think there's enough there already.
Originally posted by Simon_London I 1) get the fax numbers of as many insurance brokers as possible (I have a list of 50 odd so far and will share them/post them if others add to the list, and ultimately build a comprehensive list)
2) Fill out a word doc with all the questions that they will ask you (Again I have a template)
3) Use a PC Modem to FAX all of the brokers over night (can take a few hours as the form is 4 pages long!)
4) Wait until they Fax back their quotes
5) Re Fax the best Quote to all of them again
Repeat steps 4 & 5 until you are confident you have the lowest possible quote!
i am just about to attempt this, ill let you know how i get on.
Well ive tried and from the first quote which was £2500 FC, ive got them down to £750 which im quite pleased with for my age, ill be happy if i can get another 150 off tho, ill let you know how i get on.
I had a quote from Bennetts, 4 yrs n/c £500 excess £475. Next quote was with Ducati insurance £500 excess £350. Just wondering how much further it will come down with the fax method. will be giving it a go. Great idea. forgot to say this is on a 2001 996R

i tried this method and sent off faxes to 20 diffrent insurers,so far i have only received replys from two companys two days later.Am i expecting things to quickly or could i have done something wrong?I really need this to work as the quotes i have had are way to high.
