Review of Bennetts Bike Insurance

Submitted by Kevin Buckley
Review Added: 9/11/2007 - Visitor Rating: 4.42 (14 votes)

Review Categories:
Motorcycle Insurance

Customer Review Comments:
We had one bike insured at Bennetts. We wanted to buy another bike and take out a multi-bike policy.

We were mis-sold and ended up with two policies complete with two lots of legal cover that we did not want. After more than eight adjustments to our direct debits and many hours wasted on phone calls and letters, Bennetts admitted to some confusion and, as a good will gesture offered a reductiion in charges. Job done you might think..............No.

Next was a thirty quid charge to cancel a policy that we didn't want or ask for in the first place. We queried this charge. Bennetts responded by unleashing the hounds. We now have a pack of aggressive shaved head thugs making all sorts of threats on behalf of Bennetts. In mid discussion Bennetts sold the alleged debt on to a collection agency.

Good Points: None
Bad Points: Read the review.

I recently moved house and notified Bennetts of my new address. I got a letter saying I now owed them £25 'administration fee' as 'certain policy amendments are subject to a maximum £25 fee'. Apparently this includes letting them know you've moved!! What other company does that?? When I said I'd just cancel the policy then, they said 'That will cost you an extra £30'!

Just to add my experience: Bennetts renewed my policy without asking and they 'fined' me £20 for canceling. Then they returned the money they'd taken minus another £30. They couldn't explain why and promised to repay it. A week later - no sign of it, seems I need to make another call to their expensive call centre. Do you imagine they'd pay up if you needed them?

Bennetts doubled my premium on the 2nd year and took the money witout my consent from an existing card! After 44 years of no claims biking I suppose I am lucky not to have come across such poor practice before! They could not care less. BEWARE!!

I totally agree with you - the same happened to me - I wouldn't take out another insurance policy with Bennetts if you paid me, they are a total rip off. I was threatened with debt collection agency two days after cancelling.
