Hi, there isn't a category for motorbike so I've listed this under driving!

Can anyone help with bike insurance?

My husband has a Honda VFR 800 V4 and we are planning to bring the bike with us when we move to La Zenia early next year. We could really do with some recommendations for the insurance, we pay about £110 fully comp in the U.K.

I have tried a couple of websites that do instant quotes but a recommendation from anyone that has had personal experience would be very much appreciated.

Kind regards

Lorraine

It may be worth your while checking out the Spanish part of the Direct Line company. You should be able to find their website Linea Directs Espana.

Kind regards

Hi Lorraine

Firstly, without citing my reasons in the public domain, I would be VERY wary of contacting Linea Directa (the Spanish Direct Line), but that's only my personal view.

I insure my motorbike (and my car & house) with Liberty Seguros. I do it all through a local broker who is from UK originally, who looks after me very well and is always there if I need impartial help and advice, an arrangement that I'm very comfortable with. When Liberty's renewal premium for the car wasn't competitive, they insured me with another good company for a couple of years, but this year I went back to Liberty. Incidentally, Linea Directa quoted 41% higher than Liberty.

Motorbike premiums are much higher in Spain than in UK. To give you an idea of premium, my Triumph 900 cc triple (see photos in the 'for sale' section) costs me 278 Euros fully comp. Unlike cars here, the cover is not for any driver, but for named drivers only. I think about 10 Euros of my premium is because my son is named on the policy as well as me.

If you need more help, maybe send me a private message, and I'll see what I can do.

Geoff.
