Title: UK Insurer?
Post by: Jerome3 on May 11, 2015, 02:23:54 AM

Hello everyone.

Who do you insure your Zero with in the UK?

I'm about to renew my existing policy and hope to add a Zero soon. My existing and the other insurers I've asked seem to have difficulty with 0cc.

I test rode a 2015 DS, S and FX in Holland and Germany a month ago. Annoyingly the SR wasn't rideable - 'the parts were supposed to arrive last night', but wow what fun! I love the familiar milk float sound which soon gets lost in the wind. Torque talks. Magic carpet. It's all true :)

My ICE now seems so noisy.

My 2013 Zero-S is insured with Bennetts.

Bennetts for me. I would also recommend you renew online via topcashback. This will save you money.

Thank you. I'll give them both a call.  I just tried Hexham online and it quoted £11,007 for an S! Could be operator error :)

Mine's around £200 fully comp.  Unless it was £20,000... think I'll just check my bank balance!

Hi Jerome
If you are thinking of importing a bike into the UK make sure that Zero are prepared to honour the warranty in the UK and get that in writing.

Hi ZMC,

Good idea. Thank you for your advice.
