Motorbike and car insurance

tigerfeet2006

We have just got a motorbike for my husband to get to work during the week. So we now have a bike and car to insure. Can anyone suggest a good insurance company.

The bike will be used to go the 15 miles a day to get to work and the odd weekenda away without the sprogs and the car will be used to ferry the family about at weekends and holidays.

Thanks very much.

Are you hoping that you can insure both the bike and car with one company? In my experience you can't. Our 2 cars are with one co but the bike is with a co that does only bike ins.
Best advice I can give you is to get your yellow pages and call as many co's as your patience will allow. I do this for both cars and the bike and get it cheaper every year.
I wouldn't say that one co is better than the next as everyones experiences are different. Also just because one co is cheap for one person, it might not be for the next.

Thanks for that. Will have to look on moneysaver.com I guess.

I use

A lot of my friends use it too.

Also a lot of people say Carole Nash is good (google for the website).

Also it's certainly worth having a look at quidco for cashback.

i ride a motorbike and i checked quidco AA was 200 quid more expensive for £11 or so cashback

ebikesure was 100 quid more expensive for me

the cheapest 1 i have found so far is http://www.motorcycledirect.co.uk/. paying 250 quid a year fully comp ungaraged

getting motorbike insurance is a pain. Shop around some places will take the micky

Thanks for the advice everyone. I have just become a Quidco member so will search for car insurance and see if it can be done through them. This is gonna be more work than I thought I can see!!!

Carole Nash do an OMNI policy which covers bike and car and has breakdown cover included.Good value,but this year I managed to get cheaper by insuring them seperately.Worth a call though.

Have you not tried Cornhill Direct? They've been a good, reliable car insurance provider for us for the past few years, and I believe they now partner with Motorcycle Direct to offer bike insurance.
