Hi Simon
Which company has provided the insurance? I have a mate coming from Auckland and the plan had been to let him have one of my bikes for a couple of weeks. Finding insurance has been tricky, so any help would be appreciated.
Hope you enjoy your stay
Steve
I think it may be different for your mate as I have a uk address (mother in laws house) and a British licence. From memory I got quotes from Devitt’s, Hastings and Bikesure, but in the end I’ve got over the problem by becoming a named rider on my nephews insurance, on a new policy for his bike (100 quid for an r6 wasn’t bad, but he’s got full no claims).
For me whether or not I could get cover from a particular broker depended on the wording of the relevant question on the online forms......eg I cannot truthfully say I’ve been resident in the uk for the last 2 years (so got declined), but I can truthfully say I’ve been a uk resident for 40 years (just not recently!). Most insurance companies I contacted will not quote non residents, or foreign licence holders, not even as “named riders/drivers”.
I’ve the same problem getting insured for a car, but there is
www.tempcover.com and
www.short-terminsurance.co.uk who will insure me, for a high price!
