Just renewed Home insurance.......

[I like Skol]

Renewal time again. Paid kwikfit £158 last year and their renewal offer was was £252. Got same policy plus extra bikes (one a £2k carbon jobbie) via the Meerkat for only £195.

Insurance much cheaper than 2014 but why do they try it on at renewal, just stupid. Less than 1hrs work (would have been under 30 minutes if cyclechat didn't keep distracting me!) saved me at least £57

Yeah, except I didn't have to this year, they were just on the money from the get go.... maybe the world is coming to an end?

Thread resurrection alert!

Just played the musical insurance game....

From reading back through this post this appears to be the score so far;
2013 = £290
2014 = £282
2015 = £158
2016 = £195
2017 = £243
2018 = £264

I stayed with my existing insurer this year for a second year. Barclays offered me a renewal of £276 but after a lengthy and pleasant discussion with Linda (who is also a keen cyclist and has a Specialized road bike and MTB, but isn't aware of or active on Cyclechat.net) we confirmed my cover levels were appropriate and with a bit of encouragement from me (She was very specific that they DO NOT price match! ) the premium was reduced to a few pence less than the Meerkat best offer from Esure

Quite interesting to see the annual prices listed out in one place. 2015 & 2016 appear to have been abnormally cheap but I am still paying less than 2013 which is good going IMO.

Hopefully Linda from Barclays insurance will have a look at Cyclechat in her lunch break and say Hi

Mine is coming up. I'm a bit limited these days because I use our house insurance to cover the kids digs at Uni and they don't all do that.

Just renewed mine knocking off all the unwanted bit's and extra's we get via other means and with cash back just over £40

Is that £40 cashback or £40 premium? I knew insuring a carboard box in Yorkshire would be cheap but still, not £40 cheap......

Never mind. I just realised it is due to the time difference, Yorkshire is still on 1970s time and prices. They will catch up with the rest of the world one day.

No that's the premium price.

Oh you mean West Yorkshire

I use co-op. Had to claim for a camera and laptop and they coughed up immediately. Very good. Bikes are on an 'add on' for those over £1k.

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

£264? I have 2 concrete outhouses, 2 sheds, 2 bikes and the usual trimmings for around £130
