Bodhi wrote:Hey Phil, I've just got my renewal in from my current insurer and now I'm wanting to shop around, perhaps you can help with an issue that I now have with my bike insurance. I've got about 7yrs NCB on my bike and have never had an accident, yet with my car insurance I have a Policy and my wife is the main driver. She's had 3 accidents over 3 years, and the last time I renewed my insurance I had to state this for my bike insurance as these claims seem to count against me as well since it's my policy, even though it was not me driving. Is there any way to avoid this or is this simply somewhere where the insurance industry is able to penalise people for that kinda thing? It just makes it awkward come renewal time for my bike as I need to state all the details of the accidents even though they're not at all relevant to how I am as a rider on my Bike insurance.
Thanks in advance, Stephen
If your wife is not named on your bike policy I think we will be able to avoid any loadings. However, you will need to disclose the information and I'm glad to see that you have done so in the past.
If you would like a quotation from Bikesure, just PM me some details and a contact number.
Cheers,
Phil

Just seen this...
Firstly let me say I am far from a fan of Insurance companies. So as representative of the industry can I begin by asking the following question:
I have been riding bikes for some time and have 12 years of NCB to my name. I have only been driving a car for 2 years and have 2 years NCB on my car policy. Why if I have an accident on my bike will it count against me on my car insurance and likewise if I have an accident in my car will it count against my bike insurance?

It is down to the individual insurance company (not broker) as to how they interpret and rate your driving record.

Phil, pencil sharpened mid jan. multibike policy(s), looking for something as flexible as my rider policy i have with CN, not really bike specific, but seems more based on bike value / policy value / risk and i can add as many as i like (admin fee, and policy value top up fee accordingly)
PM coming over

So do I infer correctly that Bikesure is not an insurance company but is a Broker?
If correct my understanding is you then have a "Panel" of insurance companies to go to. Would the insurance companies you use take into account an accident (fault, non-fault, or otherwise) in a car when insuring a bike?
