Just had a quote of £317 for the year by mce so a definite improvement from the renewal I got and nearly half of what I paid last year :thumb: :thumb:

Ouch!!


This is part of the trouble with mce!


That and coupled with them trying to rob me of £90 then trying to withhold money from me for 3 months! I had loads of issues and had to involve the insurance ombudsman!

you will probably find that you can't but if you put other policy's at the same excess they will probably come down to around the same


A lot of people just look at the final figure and forget to look at excess and thing its a good deal

It does let me but I just didn't change it, its not the best amount of excess so I will change it and see what it comes up with

So just changed it to 200 quid excess and it's gone up to £367 or £150 3rd party only....

And dont worry I'd never go 3rd party only, I just thought I'd see what it was 3rd party only

Also worth noting that if you tell MCE that your bike is garaged, then it has to be a brick built garage to count (that's usual), and if it gets stolen near your house but not in the garage, e.g on the driveway while you let it cool down before you give it a wash, you are not covered.

I was with MCE for first bike (125 Varadero), £790 p/a - with £2000 excess. '05 reg bike, bought for £1200. :lol:

Current bike (still 125 but brand new) with bikesure is £790 on 3rd party. Was £1900 fullycomp. :/

Only £100 excess though. Nowhere else came close to that figure. Either FC or 3rd.


Hate insurance.
