I’m with Peter James.
When I got my second older bike they told me to join the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club.
I did and my policy renewal dropped to what I thought was very reasonable and the annual mileage limit was removed.

Do you all do this online or do you have to call up and waste hours waiting, and going through all the usual questions, time after time?

I got a quote for Spokey from Peter James yesterday (used to be with them years back) Really helpful, got a quote in less than 5 mins on the phone. Agreed value without the need for pics (up to £10k - then they need pics), always been happy with them in the past

It’s such a lottery, got renewal for XADV, £139 last year, £276 this year, contacted insurer having checked the online options. When I discussed with them and informed another insurer will provide an policy for £116, they conceded they hadn’t a chance of coming anywhere near that figure.
I tend to start looking early, especially with the car, many insurers will put some wiggle room in a deal if you are prepared to negotiate 5/6 weeks ahead if they are retaining your custom.

It’s called the lazy tax, the insurance companies will just up their premiums in the hood that you will not bother checking other policies and prices
Let’s face it, we can be a lazy lot and just pay the renewal whatever price it is
I use two or three companies for house, car and bikes, particularly with the older bikes only one company here will insure them for agreed value without costing an arm and a leg, the newer bikes are with another company, but that will change when the missus M900 is able to go on a Vintage plate
I changed companies a few years ago and I told the company I was with that I could get my policy cheaper at a rival, I was told there and then that the price was the price, take it or leave it, so I left it
About 4 weeks later I got a phone call from the insurers “Customer Retention Team” who asked why I didn’t renew my policy with them, vociferously she said I’d been with them for 20 years, I told her that there was no negotiation on the insurance when I phoned them to ask for a better price, she told me that the telesales personnel weren’t allowed to give discounts only the CRT were
I said that the horse had already bolted and she was 4 weeks too late, she replied I had the option of canceling the new policy with the rival firm as it was within 30 days and she would match their price, because I’d been with them for 20 years
I said you had your chance 4 weeks ago and I wouldn’t be changing
Just goes to show, it’s worth ringing around

I have a couple of bikes, just had a renewal of Bennett’s, and it’s gone down £20. Which surprised me. I did try RH, and they were close to the same price. I agree you can go lazy and just renew, but still going to ring Bennett’s and see if they can better it, don’t ask you don’t know???

I went on the MCN Compare website today, to get some alternative quotes to my Peter James quote. The main reason was they enter you into a prize draw for a new, 2024 MT09, just for getting a quote !! Interesting to note that none of the quotes bettered the Peter James one, and all actually had a higher excess cost.
