need temporary insurance asap!!

[bobf279]

I have comp insurance which only gives me 3rd party cover for riding other bikes.

I think Stu is right though it should only take minutes on the phone to get cover through your own company (the underwriter is probably a supervisor)

When Rob passed his test and stepped up from a 125 to a 250 his existing insurer wanted an arm and a leg so it was cheaper to cancel and take out a new policy.

I personally have a trade policy so am covered fully comp plus have the same for work 8-) I would offer but unfortunatly I am working all day then diving in the evening.

I think I have only ever had to wait for a call back once and that was for my heavily modified R1 but also had NOS which that caused an issue and caused the delay but iirc it was only about 30 mins. You seriously need to get calling them. Or are you not telling us the full story for the delay and have 6 D&D offences 7 bans and driving with no insurance on your licence

yeh but i only have 2 months left until i have my first years no claims and i have already paid it all off

i told the guy i might not be able to make it and he has offered to deliver it for £20 petrol money for his car,

so all sorted now,

thanks for all the comments and suggestions guys

Well done now do you get to just sit and look at it for 2 months ;D

[zachl]

oh i hope not lol, well its taken them 2 days so far so i wouldnt put it past them,

note to self do not renew, go with 1 company, not a company that uses another in a weird stupid time-wasted way

You'll find most insurance brokers use underwriters so you'll find this in future. Have you actually rung them as they may have your number wrong etc

But glad its sorted

[bobf279]

So do you have bike and insurance now?

[zachl]

yep. i rang them earlier and had to speak to the manager as i refused to get off the phone until they called the underwriters and switched it over,

5 mins later, and im all insured, bloody companies,

so i managed to take this for a spin this evening
