“Profesional reliable truted”

★★★★★

written by peterobinson on 20/11/2019

I was hit by an un-insured driver on my motorbike. They did £750 damage to my bike. The legal firm was able to get the full amount for me without me loosing my no claims bonus. Which I thought was pretty awesome. Many thanks.It took a year and a half but worth the wait.

Just spoke to a man from your claims team regarding my motorbike insurance claim. He explained everything very clearly, he continually provided updates and went above what I expected from an insurance company. The money was paid in a very timely manner. Good company and great staff. Highly recommend.

MCE motorbike accident claim. The accident I had involved running into the back of my mate while pulling away from a junction. The speed was minimal but we both ended up on the floor. My bike was damaged to the point that it was loosing oil so not ride able. Being a member the AA were summoned and I got the bike and myself relayed home. So far so good. Now to call MCE and tell them about my sorry tale. Oh dear the claim line is experiencing difficulties, can you call later. Many days passed before I was able to give my details to the claims department. System problem apparently. Not very good. However moving forward. I was contacted by a very straight forward and understanding member of the MCE 'first party claims' department, namely employee number 4878. He understood that not every one has an accident on a frequent basis, and that I did not automatically know what to do. He explained each step carefully and kept me informed with regular up-dates by mail or phone, and patiently answered the numpty questions I frequently asked. At no time was I left in the dark with regard to what MCE would do. With some sadness my bike was judged a total loss. MCE gave me the options regarding financial compensation and once I had considered and made my choice payment was authorised quickly. For me the valuation was very fair. Thank you again 4878 for being a great bloke. I do hope that I don't have to make a claim in the future but if I did I hope you will be on my case. The only issue that I have is my mate, also insured with MCE is not having the same service and result. Still waiting for authorisation for his repairs after 8 weeks.

I had an accident in the remote Spanish mountains,my wife had to deal with MCE as I was in hospital.she delt with a guy who recovered my bike back to the UK and told her not to worry until I was well and back home.we emailed all the documents when home and were kept informed about the claim at all times.l was given a total loss valuation which was very fair and included my cost of the bike recovery. I will call MCE for insurance when I buy my next bike

“Claim handler saves the day”

★★★★★

written by blackbird888 on 06/08/2018

I had to make a claim on my motorcycle insurance following an accident a month or so ago. I've never had to make a claim before and was not feeling great due to the fact that my bike was totalled and I was a little bruised. Everything was moving along and then things became frustrating once my bike had been deemed to be a total loss.I was keen to get back on the road and needed the situation resolved so that I could move forward and get a new bike etc. I was calling constantly and getting nowhere, at one point I felt I was being laughed at by a lady in customer service, then all of a sudden my claim handler switched. Thank goodness for this, it was a breath of fresh air and he was swiftly on the case getting things moving again. He made every effort to help and was really understanding and professional, a credit to the company. I can't thank him enough and he has restored my faith so much so that I have since insured my new bike with MCE again. They say a company is only as good as those who represent it, there couldn't be a better example of this here. Thank you, I'm a happy biker again.

“Fantasic service from start to finish!”

★★★★★

written by BeckhamPereira497 on 17/07/2018

MCE provided a professional service from start to finish. From initially reporting my accident, it was dealt with sympathetically and swiftly. In good time I was assigned a personal claim handler who took me through the process step by step. At all times, I understood exactly where I was in the process and all estimated time scales were achieved early. Also, a pleasant surprise was the very reasonable settlement figure I was given. I was expecting it to be low and have a battle trying to get a reasonable price for my bike, this was not the case at all. My sincere thanks to my personal handler and to MCE. I highly recommend MCE as an insurance provider.

First of all I would like to thank annita for her promt service, phone calls and emails, hopefully I will be paid out in a couple of days now. The only issue I had was being passed from pillar to post whilst claim was in progress, an of course the amount of waiting time getting through to talk to someone, other than that I was pleased especially now I have had a good quote for my new motor cycle which I have paid in full, very satisfied with price many thanks.

“Great help and service ”

★★★★★

written by Littlelevie on 29/06/2018

May I start by saying thank you so much to my first party claims handler. She has been very helpful and supportive through the process of my claim and always kept in touch with me making sure everything was ok and updating me on every step. Everytime I booked an appointment for a phone call she always phoned on time, and would phone again a little bit after if I didn’t answer the first time. This isn’t her fault at all, but I don’t like the fact I have to pay off my insurance when I had my bike stolen from me, I’d understand if I still had the bike and didn’t want to ride it or sold it and would have to pay. I also don’t like that the excess is £1,150 on all insurance polices with Mce. After I put my claim in and my excess and insurance was payed off. I was only left with £280. I would have liked to know that I would have to still pay off my insurance even if someone steals your bike.

Just want to say thank you for the service provided. The claim took a while to settle but that was only down to me, not in anyway any MCE representative. I would like to thank especially the person I dealt with who sent me regular emails which l lazily chose to respond to later. In every correspondence I found the person I dealt with to be both attentive and courteous, as were all others. Please pass on my thanks to all, especially to the person I dealt with.

★★★★★

written by thecarbonking on 22/05/2018

The person I dealt with was excellent, worked hard to get a satisfactory result for me. MCE insurance paid out more than I insured the bike for, as they paid out based on the retail average value using Glasses Guide & Cap Guide which I was not expecting. I also got a fair price back on my clothing so all in all, I was fairly dealt with and kept up to date at all times. Well done to the person I dealt with, keep up the excellent work!

Asked by cuki on 4th January 2017 Report this content
Can you tell me please how it is that I got 8 years no claims bonus in UK on a suzuki hayabussa. I then had to work in Cairo for 2 years and 3 months and had no accidents or claims and on returning to UK am told that my 8 years of impeccable riding I no longer have 8 years no claims bonus and have to start from zero. It appears rather one sided that it takes me 8 years of premiums and excellent riding yet they can remove said ncb after only 2 years?

The only suggestion I can make is try shopping around, see if another company will accept your NCB. The industry seems to make up its own rules, & change them frequently. Despite not having a claim for 20 odd years, I was recently informed I could only use my NCB on one bike - so I pay more to insure my 125 Honda scooter than my (group 17) Ninja ZX-9R! Mad.
Report this content am4862 Written on: 05/01/2017
Sadly this is commonly the case. Many companies will only accept up to 2 years of not riding, although there is no actual regulation as far as I'm aware. Each company tends to set their own rules. Part of this is the difficulty of proving that, if you did ride outside of the UK on a local policy, you had no accidents etc while abroad. Many insurers won't go to the expense of setting up any checking for anything outside the UK. The only thing I can suggest is to shop around as some insurers will accept a break of up to 3 years.

Hi Unfortunately this is true most companies only allow you to keep your NCB for 2 years after closing your insurance/lapses. I think Zurich Insurance allows up to 5 years . I have been through this and it sucks. Best bet in future is to insure a smaller cheaper bike when away to keep policy going and swap it over when you come back to the bigger bike. There is NO way around this unfortunately - sorry pal !!
Report this content Chriscbf Written on: 05/01/2017
Sadly that's how MCE insurance works....I had had some time off from riding bikes and was told that when I bought a bike again and wanted insurance, if it had been two years or over since I rode a bike than my 'no claims' wouldn't have been allowed. Some insurers might allow up to three years....Others as little as 12 months. Do a bit of ringing around.....
Report this content lakeofshadows Written on: 05/01/2017
Sorry to hear that. As others have suggested, shop around and hopefully you'll find an insurer who'll accept a 3 year break. I'm aware of some motorcyclists who buy and insure small capacity scrap bikes in order to avoid this very thing happening. Good luck with your search.
Report this content Suze Written on: 05/01/2017
Unfortunately that little caveat is not exclusive to MCE. The majority of insurers do this. Some only allow 1 year instead of 2. I was told several years ago that it would have been better to carry on the insurance even though I didn't have the vehicle anymore. You can no longer do this as they will try to claim against your insurance if the new owner has an accident even though you no longer own it as your policy was 'first in line'. You can try and ring around as there maybe 1 or 2 that will accept a long insurance gap but on the whole the rule of thumb is 2 years. Knowledge: previous experience

This has been the rule/law for more than the 30 years I've been riding and driving. In all those years I have had times of non riding but I insured a cheap bike to continue my NCB even though I didn't ride it. Some insurers will recognise your NCB but they are very rare. Sadly that's the way it is.
Report this content benaslak Written on: 09/01/2017
I think you have to start from the standpoint that all insurance companies (in my experience) are out to make as much money as possible, in as short a possible time, with no regard for the well-being or financial stability of their customers. Once you realize that, then you can understand that they will not treat your circumstances individually. They will stick to the small print in their policy document which always works in their favour. This is not helpful to you but it is fact. I have applied to the Financial Services Ombudsman on several issues over the years and the insurance companies decisions have always been upheld against me. No hope I am afraid!

Hi, as stated by another respondent, it can take a number of days before you receive your documents. These will be electronic unless you specifically requested physical documents. You will receive an email telling you how to access the documents, and you can then print them off yourself if you so wish. It might be worth checking your junk mail folder in case the email has ended up there in error. No need to worry though, you're covered from the time and date specified when you the initial application and sent payment.

I agree with your statement I think this should ensure a new policy I'm going to your details over again is a little bit stupid but I think it's all the same money
Report this content Suze Written on: 06/05/2016
I always wondered why. I think it's because the quote can change so its not really valid anymore as they tell you your renewal is due 2 weeks before. I've known a quote to change from one day to the next. As for providing full details again, well I guess that so they can double check what you said in the first place and also to give you an opportunity to tell them of any changes/mods etc. FYI I don't work for MCE or their subsidiaries or carry out any insurance work. I have just had a lot of experience getting insurance for various cars & bikes over the years.

Really don't know. Used to be, when you stayed with a company, you'd end up getting a decent discount every year. Now it seems you have to swop around to get the best deal. Last year a company (I'll leave you to guess which one!) wrote & invited me to 'phone for the best quote' when my renewal was due. I did, & got a very high quote.I pointed out I had been on a comparison site, & the very same company had offered me a much better deal. 'Oh, we can't compete with our on line deals'. WTF?

I have asked this question before. Not with this Ins Company but with others I was told that my personal details could have changed ie points on licence, medical issues etc etc. I was really pleased with MCE when taking my policy out this year so I will consider it a small price to pay if I have to give all details again next year. Providing they are as competitive of course.

Doesn't matter of the insurance is fully comprehensive if you did not choose commuting as part of the use of the scooter then they won't pay out. When you choose it says , social domestic pleasure only, social domestic pleasure and commuting or business use, business use covers all the above, check your policy details and see if it covers you for commuting to work. If not they will not pay out.
Report this content Rheged Written on: 04/09/2015
It's not so much down to the level of cover (in your case, comprehensive); rather it's more due to the usage that is specified in your policy. *Most* policy usage clauses allow for leisure use and commuting to a single place of work. This is fine, so long as you only work at one address - emphasis on address; If the firm you work for has two or more offices on different sites, you would not be covered. Likewise if your work involves delivery/courier work, this would also not be covered. I have this same issue with my own policy, in that because I'm self-employed and have my own office and have to travel to my clients, I need business usage cover. I have to admit, I am surprised they have not covered you for commuting by default. If you want further assistance I'd suggest taking your policy to a solicitor for advice.
Report this content ColinHodgson Written on: 04/09/2015
Most policies are for SDP (Social Domestic & Pleasure) - if you intended to commute you would need a business policy (mine used to cost an extra £24... Your certificate of insurance will probably have the same advisory paragraph as mine - 'Use for social, domestic and pleasure purposes. EXCLUDES journeys between home and normal place of business, use for hire or reward or for commercial travelling, racing, competitions, rallies or trials (other than road safety rallies or treasure hunts), use on any motor sport circuit including the Nurburgring or use for any purpose in connection with the motor trade.' If it has, you do not have a claim - if it doesn't (nor do any of your other documents) then consult a lawyer.

Hey, Thanks for your question. A normal insurance policy won’t tend to give you any cover you for this, but every MCE Bike policy will give you £1000 of Personal Injury as standard. It covers you in a fault or non-fault accident, whatever level of cover you have. Also, for an extra £50, you can upgrade this to cover you for up to £5000. Just give us a call, and we’ll happily upgrade it for you. Ride safe!

The cost will be twofold: - You will need to pay the excess - They will pay the lower of the bike value and the value you insured it for. So for instance, if your bike is worth £2000 but you insured it for £1500 then you will only get 1500. - Additionally, they will only pay the actual value of your bike (not a new one). So if you had a new bike that's a year old you will get less than the new value. Basically if you get to within £1,000 of the value of a replacement, you're doing well.

Hi  – top question. If you are going to exactly the same vehicle, chances are it will just be £67.00. This is made up from a change charge from the insurance company, and an admin fee. Now obviously if your Honda Cub has been written off, and you replace it with a brand new Blade, you’ll need to pay a bit more. At the same time, if you downgrade to something a little older and less expensive, you may even get a return in premium. Whatever you’re doing, just give the guys in our customer services team a buzz, and they’ll make the whole process as easy and painless as possible!

Why are you changing insurers? MCE should be able to give you a better deal no matter what your new quote is. Regarding getting in contact with them, just give them a call on their customer service number - press the last option. Good Luck!

Best thing to do is give them a ring. When it gives you the options, try and find the one that says that you want to cancel, or stop your insurance. Thats the fastest way to get to talk to someone, they should then be able to email you proof on NCD if not, they will refer you to another team, and usually transfer you. Definitely making the right choice though.

Thanks for the replies guys, looks like I will have to wait until the policy runs out on the 13th March. You would think that they would have the courtesy to reply to emails and explain though. Thanks again, Rog

I have been with MCE for four years.I have never had a problem when I have spoken to them on the phone.Bear in mind the volume of emails that they must recieve,some unfortunately will slip through the net.I'm not making excuses for them,but it happens on my own emails.Just Phone them.They have to provide you with proof of NCB.Also your insurance renewal letter will give proof.

Hi Don, They are the only company that I have dealt with that doesn't put proof of your no claims on the renewal notice. If thy did I would not have a problem.

As I understand it, they are legally obliged to provide written proof of NCB and I agree with the answers below - ring, don't rely on someone responding to an email. Anytime I have changed in the past I emailed my new insurer a copy of my old insurers renewal notice(after you have agreed a price for new cover) which usually states NCB on it. I'm also sure that it is possible for your new insurer to contact the old company asking for proof.

Within my renewal notice there was a page containing my no claims. Which could be used as proof with an alternative insurer.

Hi Trishna, The main reason that I am changing is because they don't supply proof of no claims with the renewal. This is why I renewed with them last year knowing it would be a hassle, and this is why they do it. Also they sent me a renewal for £171, if I go on their web site and get a quote as a new customer its £135. If you google them there are loads of complaints from bikers about shocking customer service, so I'm determined to make the break this year. I have found a better policy (less excess) with Kwik fit for £115 and can get the same breakdown cover for £18. They are all very helpful when you are buying.

Hi, I have no complaints about the cover or the price, just the fact that you do not provide proof of no claims with the renewal quote. Your ruling is that you will not give proof of NCB until the old policy runs out, this can make it awkward when the new insurer insists on receiving the proof within a certain number of days. Also why is the renewal £40 more than signing up as a new customer, is it allowed to insure as a new customer each year? All the best

We hadn't had a motorbike for a few years, so we were bascially starting from scratch. But ring MCE and get a quote, they were very helpful to us. Lane

To another providet you mean? Normally there is a fee for most amendments or changes of around 25. Some companies will allow you to add this to your yearly bill others will ask for it up front. Hope this helps

If there isn’t a change in the old and new vehicle, then usually £67.00. This is made up from a change charge from the insurance company, and an admin fee. You can also have up to five bikes on the same policy with MCE – so you have don’t think you have to get rid of one!
