Hello i want to buy some insurance with MCE. Has anyone else got insurance with them? What are they like? Since my house is newly built it is not showing up on there data base of addresses but my neighbours is. Would it be ok to use my name under my neighbours address?
Cheers
Tam

i'm not with them, but in general I think it's a no cos this means any correspondance will go there, any official body of any kind will go there looking for you if they ever need to, and it MAY invalidate your insurance policy, you would have to ask them and be specific about it..and record call if poss, they say it is alright, then if a claim need be made, they may say this particular technicality invalidates your policy, they will do anything to get out of paying a settlement (not them in particular) so be VERY careful & good luck Wink

Thankfully I never had to use them. Apart from when I changed from my ped to my 125cc. That was very easy and quick, just told them what I wanted, identifyied myself and I was on the road as soon as the phone went down. No complaints from me. Thumbs Up

I use MCE. They gave me an excellent quote first time around and when it came to renewal, they undercut all my other quotes (despite at first being a little bit more). If you haggle with them, they will go out and get you a cheaper quote. They're a broker, so they just find you an insurance product rather than actually provide the insurance. If your insurance from MCE is provided by Equity Red Star, it's just the same product as insurance from Bennett's that is underwritten by Equity Red Star. They underwrote mine last year. This year MCE have got KGM to underwrite my insurance. MCE also bundle breakdown recovery and legal cover with all their bike insurance, included in the quote price.

I ran a poll about insurance not long ago. The outcome was that people suggested just using the cheapest quote (even if it was cheapest by only a few pence) rather than using any specific company.

Bit late adding to this but I thought I'd just add that I called MCE last week for a quote.
I was paying £210 with Carole Nash last year. Initially the quote was £270 but I got it down after phoning else where. this year though the renewal notice came in with prices up to £387 Shocked

Fuck that I though, they've had their chance, I'm sure I could have pushed them down again but couldn't be bothered.

After phoning a few companies and getting quotes of £180ish basic FC cover) I called MCE. The girl asked how much I was looking to pay Laughing

I said between £150 and £180, she replied with " If i can get it under £150 will you buy it today ?" I could hardly refuse seeing as it included the breakdown cover. As it turned out she couldn't get it under the £150 but got it for £151.75 FC instead. Thumbs Up

With MCE...

When I signed up, I played around with the online quote form a couple times and noticed it was messing up my DOB switching the days and months around... I put the quote through as if I was 21, gave em a rang and told em there was a fault with their system!

They didn't quite give me the quote that I was shown but only added another 20 quid!!! So instead of paying 240, I got away with 180!, lol.

Not sure how they got around paying for it, or weather they took the hit themselves... never made a claim though...
