I have had quite a few bikes insured through Swinton over the past couple of years. Mainly as it meant I just paid one direct debit every month on the same date.
I added a small bike a few weeks ago, 110cc but they gave me 3rd Party only at over £190-00! I got rid of the bike a few days ago and, although I had only been insured for it for less than 2 months, I got their "Cancellation Charges" of £50-00 just to stop the policy! It would have been better and cheaper to just let it carry on but, apparently, it is Illegal to have the insurance for a bike you don't have access to as it makes the new owners insurance Invalid or summat like that!
I insured a new bike today and guess who I DID NOT USE?
Swin, goodam,ton insurance >:(

Apparently 2 insurances on one vehicle is "fraud" no matter whom is "at fault"

Cancelled it today! The swine ain't getting my business as other policys run out!
Just sorted a new policy out with Bikesure that gave me the same as Swinton for about £150-00 lower premium for a year!
I remember back in the "Good Old Days (tm)" when I paid £16-00 for a third party, fire and theft policy for up to 349cc. Rider Policy, any bike you were on up to the stated engine size maximum.

Their new business discount is about 45%, never renew with this lot without checking elsewhere.
Bennets are worse on the charges: £30 to cancel and then 6 months to get proof of no claims and a receipt for payment.
