Hi, Its my motorbike renewal time and swinton as come up as cheapest not including £30 cashback from swinton and £27 quidco.

My insurance is currently with Swinton, is it possible to sign backup as a new customer.

I have told them I am leaving if that helps.

Many Thanks

    :coffee:Yes.

    Make sure you tell them in writing that you do not wish to renew on the Xth or you may get stung with auto renewal. Then sign up for a new policy starting on the Xth.

  • Oh yes, I do this every year! I had a new policy with Devitt, three years running & getting Quidco cashback aswell. The same with my car insurance with LV. Just make sure you call to let them know you are not renewing & then buy online.

    However, my Cashback was blocked as I was 'an existing customer' of the insurer. So I did nor receive it, despite it tracking correctly (until it disappeared).

    What are Devitt like? I am getting a motorbike this week and they seem to come out top a lot on my quotes.
