“Many of the results were not comparable and seemed incorrect but it was good as general survey and to give ideas of which companies to contact for realistic quotes.
It appears that this is not about MCN but that the Insurance industry is a lottery governed by algorithms that change hourly affecting prices and even refusal to insure fluctuating constantly. Its more like gambling with odds constantly changing”
“What a pain trying to insure a 125cc for a child turning 17. Trying to get quotes the week before policy was due to start was awful. The computer doesn't acknowledge the fact that you want the policy to start on the day he turns 17, and just says he can't have a 125 as he's not old enough.”
“I have never known a company that Harasses you for a V5 document with endless threatening emails to provide the V5 or the insurance will be cancelled, then provide a photo of a garage which is purpose built on the side of my bungalow, only to be told it’s a shed which it’s not, then get charged an extra £75 on top of the original quote,”
“I had to send info to them that I had never been asked for before, then they said I didn't then I did then I didn't. Also wanted a full address for a garage with no number in a courtyard. Just a bit fussier than I am used to. Will probably not use again, and weren't the cheapest, went to them because I thought run by MCN they would understand bikes and bikers, er no!”
“No problems using the site. However, MCN don't offer anything more than other comparison sites and unfortunately less than the one I eventually used.”
“MCN Compare helped me to find insurance where my current insurer could not help because the bike was not listed.
I was however distinctly unimpressed with the price i had to pay”
“The price on the MCN site was not the price the Insurance Company wanted,about £35.00 diffrence, nothing on my side had changed to justify this. It was still a reasonable price.”
“Tried to buy from here at the quoted price but the insurer lured me away on the pretext that it didn't recognise the registration number. It wouldn't as it was a new vehicle”
“Couldn't see any option to add another bike and look for a rider policy. No obvious way to amend your preferred excess amount to see if Insurers could tailor your policy”
“Easy to navigate & get a quote once you filled in all information. I was unable to alter excess on line & had to ring company who charged premium rate .
Web site was similar to the one with meerkats , & had same quotes ?”
“The last few times I e used it the link to the cheapest I Durer did not work which was vital during lock-down as you couldn't phone them for new quotes. Ended up going direct to the insurer twice to get cheapest price. Twice isn't a coincidence, it's not good!”
“I found it difficult to obtain a multi bike policy using the site. I wonder what percentage of bikers find it difficult going through this process either phone or internet.”
