Trike insurance

[Barrowboy]

Any suggestions for the best place to go for Trike insurance, just got a quote for the wife on a mini trike that was nearly 3 times what she pays for the car !!!

[Beano]

Look in the back of Trike mag.
I use Bikesure as they were cheapest for me.
Good luck :D

no matter where you go trike insurnce is always dearer than the car.
Also most insurers policys for trike insurance seem to be policies from bikesure.

Sadly, trike insurance often seems to be dear - I pay £475 a year for mine (first trike, no transferrable no claims, claim against me, six points) ... :(

Mind you, they wanted £571 for a car ... :eek:

[Barrowboy]

Robbin Tossers ! They said that my wifes no claims from the car would be taken into account, she payed £147 per year for a 3 year old 1.8 Laguna and they want £456 for a 1000cc Mini engined Trike !!! :mad:

Ive used Whittlesea brokers a number of times in the past and they were always cheapest for me.
Different matter now I have a Spyder, only bikesure will take us on !!!!!!!!!!

You will probably have to subscibe....I had to, as I live in Hertfordshire and they are scarred of anything that looks like it might ride a motorsickle ! :D

[Nik]

Hope you do better than the bloke who's just written to me saying that he's been quoted for his £3000 trike ... are you ready ... £7500. :eek:

He's 57 and his last accident was in 1972.

Dunno where you live but check out Spire Insurance in Chesterfield Derbyshire.

My first year with no no claims was £ 179 and they let me transfer it to a bike and back to a trike if I want.

[Barrowboy]

They insured my old trike for years and it always cost far less than the Volvo we had at the time, made no sense to me one is reckoned to be the safest car in the world 'tother was designed on a beer mat and built in me shed!

Lol i had some quotes like that
ended up with bikesure £350 full comp , hayabusa trike , paraplegic with roadside assist and protected no claims

was happy with that :thumbu:

[Titus]

also with bikesure don't go with first quote just had mine renewed started at £375.00 got down to £290.00 cheeky sods.

[Barrowboy]

Update ! Tried Whittlesey insurance but number comes up as dissused ! Spire £399 TPFT/£234 TPO, Swinton £467TPFT, Bikesure £230 TPFT?£304 Fully comp with loads of extras including break down cover with relay and home start, legal cover etc with either. Looks like bikesure have got a new customer, still mad money though considering the fact that I only pay £127 per year fully comp for my 2 year old Harley Streetbob !!!

[NelsonsGoodeye]

Bike:mad:sure just quoted me £529 for me Suzi 1400 trike. They know what they can do....

[dubmeister]

Last quote i got for my z1300 trike (kept in my garage in carlisle )was with adrian flux and was just less than £300 fully comp no no claims and am 45 yrs old

[ninjagal600]

I ended up paying £268 fully comp with the wife as a named rider, passengers and trailer, I know it's only a mini engine but I don't think that was too bad after looking at what some people are paying !
