    I feel your pain. Just had my renewal through. First time since switching to the 'Blade a few weeks ago. £362!? I think not. After filling in a load of forms online I've got it down to £202. Much better. Why do all insurers turn into robbing barstewards come renewal time ffs....?

    I used premium choice - not the cheapest but good cover for my two.

    Ask about the 'admin fees' for mid term adjustments (MTA's) - that is the really sting now people are finding

    We should have a section with a grid to detail these to help folk - comparing different peoples premiums is pointless as so many factors, but knowing the admin fees or what they include could be helpful for others.

    I use Swinton.
    First time ever with an insurance company that I have stayed with them for 2 years in a trot after receiving a great quote for all 3 bikes.

    £450 all in.

    i have 4 road bikes (3 of them are highly modified ) so even getting someone to give me a quote is nearly impossible , i tried carole nash ,last year , was asked to send in pictures of bikes with all security arrangements (loads of security)
    never even got a quote back , same with c.i.a. ebike are wanting to put my policy up from £577 to £1084 .

    Both my 2 road bikes are modified, when declared found it very hard to get cover - hence premium choice - give them a try on Monday. Like you none of the 'Go compare the market' type aggregators (on-line broker systems in reallity) would return quotes for multi vehicle or modified - the modifications are not covered for replacement, but at least the bike has cover should anything happen.

    I had an email this week for my renewal of the old blade which has now been sold. It would've been £118. Even now on the new one I'm only £240 :)
