Avoid these guys. Awful experience! Should have realised they are a broker. They only ever cared about their money and what they were owed. I lost 8-9 months of money, then got hit with ... Read more Reviewed on: 13th November 2024

Bikesure Motorbike reviews (59)

Review of the Bikesure, Motorbike:

Extortionate cancellation fee.

Arranged insurance via a comparison web site. Got a message two days later to call them in order to ‘validate my insurance ‘. Apparently some of the information about the bike was incorrect after me inputting the registration on line therefore an extra £300 was needed to provide cover. I told them to cancel the policy and they charged me a £65 cancellation fee. This without any policy being brought into force until 1st February. Reviewed on: 8th January 2024

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Beware you have been warned !!!!!!!!!!!! Whatever you do, do not go with this company. Bunch of crooks which is mild to say least. Policy number Policy Number 52177462591 so you know who I am. Insurance was paid to start today, recieved email urgently to contact them as they said my insurance could be nil and void. Contacted them and they said that the bike I insured was a Kawasaki W800 cafe and not a W800 only however when I put the registration in it clearly said the cafe model so I didnt know what they were on about therefore they could not charge me anymore on this matter. So then they tried to get me on being retired which I also declared and that I had a part-time job which also I told them and that is what my quote was based on. They tried to charge an extra £70 to keep the policy or cancel for £60 plus £28.27 for one days insurance. I argued my case asked for line manager and low and behold not available. When I said small claims court Anika who I was talking with said they will drop the £60 charge and so I will only have to pay the one days insurance which is out of order for a void policy but I dont seem to have any choice to get away from this crooked company. Beware you have been warned!!!!!!! Reviewed on: 9th February 2022

Scammers - beware

The same as all the other reviews - you purchase a policy online and are then asked to phone them to clarify some details. They then scrutinise your details and ask for more money. On asking to cancel there is a £60 admin fee (buried somewhere in there t&c’s) Do not buy anything through this company Reviewed on: 26th January 2022

Terrible experience - are they even legal ?

I had to find new Motorbike insurance after MCE (Gibraltar) went into administration. When running comparison, Bikesure came up with the lowest quotes on Gocompare. Clicked through and was taken to the Bikesure website (no options were given to change any details passed through from Gocompare website). I purchased a new insurance starting from 1st Feb - problems started here !! A day later, I got a message waring that insure might be cancelled and asking to call them back. When I rang them back, I was told that I am going to be charged an additional £50 odd as I had not declared a third party claim. I went back onto the data entered on gocompare and there you go - claim was always there !!. Upon challenging this, they backed off (They couldn't clearly identify, where they received the data from). Then they started their pressure selling to get me to spend another £70 odd to buy their excess protection, I declined which they were not happy about. This was followed by a lengthy description of all the ways in which a claim will be invalid. At this point, I had started losing confidence in them as an insurer. Just felt like they were lining up excuses to get out of any claims. I was then asked to provide a mileage declaration form and a license code, which I submitted. The next day, I received another email demanding £78. Apparently they have my test pass date on record as 14/07/21 where as the actual test pass date is 09/08/21. I again went back onto the comparison websites to check the data, I was not asked to enter a precise date anywhere on the forms. Gocompare simply asks for a test pass month. So Bikesure now wants to charge a premium increase of £38 + £35 admin charge for changes to the policy, all this 14 days before the policy has even started. By this point, I had had enough, rang up and asked to cancel the policy, thinking I am still within the 14 days cooling-off period. Surprise surprise, they have a £60 charge for cancellation buried within their terms and conditions !! I was treated like an inconvenience by their customer service, so I am now proactively sharing my experience on googlemaps, trustpilot, FB motorbike groups and more !! So fellow motorbikers, here is my experience. If you have clicked through and paid bikesure - you are done for. They've got you one way or other !! Bikesure customer ref: 59036612 Policy number: 2775438MC036616 I have given one-star and shared my experience, you be the judge. Happy to share their communications publicly if needed.

Crooks - £65 admin charge

Purely and simply crooks. £65 admin charges? For making a few clicks? Purchased policy through money.com, location of bike overnight gave 3 options, I chose garage as private property was an option. Therefore policy invalid. Requested refund - £65 admin charge. In these current times, Covid, mental health issues there is no justification for a £65 admin charge. Reviewed on: 12th January 2022

Extortion and fraud

Terrible, terrible, terrible company, on the outside they appear thorough and professional but once you've bought the policy, they start to implement ridiculous validation checks, checking my occupation, looking for my garage on Google earth, then threatening to cancel my.policy if I didn't purchase "approved" security device from their own security company, horrible customer service totally unreasonable, still after cancelling my.policy they have tried to extort 80 quid from me, absolutely criminal so don't use them.

Bikers beware

I just wrote a review, but before listing it, I thought I better look at the others. My words & experience are exactly the same, said already by another victim, so copy and paste Reviewed on: 21st September 2021

F'ing extortionate

The way these people do business makes me genuinely angry, as they will drain you for money at any given opportunity. I took out a policy at a rate of £260. About two hours after taking the money from my account, they changed the terms of my policy to a version I wasn't happy with. I was then faced with a decision to pay their new £900 policy or an £88 cancellation fee (despite never actually being insured to go on the road and being WELL within the 14 day cooling-off period). AVOID. Reviewed on: 14th September 2021

Absolute scammers stay well away.

Called for a quote as put through to them through Admiral as going to view a bike to potential purchase. Gave me a quote, pushy sell as they said they couldn't hold the quote but I could call up and cancel if I never purchased the bike. Never purchased so called to cancel, policy was live for 3 hours and was charged over £50. Complete con company stay well away. Reviewed on: 20th August 2021
