Reverse trike insurers
The Venom Project - 19/2/14 at 10:33 AM

Well I know a lot of you are with 2Gether, but for me, they are a useless company.

Rang them 10 days ago for a quote, the bloke said he would phone me ot email me the quote within an hour. Just rung back to ask when I might expect a quote, they can't quote for my vehicle?


Why not have the decency to let me know........

Terrible!

Just on with Adrian Flux now, telling them to cancel the renewal, oh hang on they are trying to get me a better price.... I hate insurance companies, told them that my friend has the same vehicle insured with them, thee only difference is he is 6 years older. I cannot believe at this stage of my life why my age at 42 makes any difference, trike is garaged, I have a clean licence, no crash history, I have 24 years N/C on my main car.

Renewal price sent through is £313 FFS, Are you taking the piss? I paid £295 last year, why has it increased?, the value of my trike hasn't........

Spoke with one of the sharks at Adrian Flux, I tell him just cancel the policy, I can get the same thing somewhere else for £200

He then comes back to me with well after speaking to his manager (I watch TV, I believe nothing anymore about a manager making a decision) That he can now offer the same thing, 3000 miles, £250 excess, Fully Comp for £223, or can knock legal cover off etc and take it down to £195

These prices are more like it, but I really don't know if I want to renew with them anyway, I know every insurance scamming company does this, what a stupid policy, why not offer the very best price from the start? Whoever put that policy in place, needs beating on a daily basis.

So as it stands, I am still leaning towards a Parts Only cover policy with Need 2 Insure, for the same price of £223, It has a 1500 mile limit (Fine for me, I never do anymore than that)

What I liked about Need 2 Insure was he was pretty honest from the outset. This is always a pain in the arse be it Car, Bike or Tr1ke insurance, I think the rules need to change with how they operate, I also feel that the cover at N2I will cover exactly what the vehicle is, I am very wary about what exactly Adrian Flux are covering, and regardless of that bullied cheaper quote, I think I have already made my mind up. I think it is very true, You do get what you pay for. I want to know that my vehicle is covered properly come an event I actually might need to claim, and I also like the extra cover available should I decide to do a Track Day or two.


So as far as TR1KE insurers go, the only ones worthy of my money in 2014 will be Need 2 Insure.......
