I am just going through getting quotes for my motorbike insurance, and the premiums seem to jump when the SE22 post codes are entered.


Is ED really that bad for vehicle theft? Some companies will not even cover me if my bike is left parked on the street!


Does ED have the problem, or is it being tarred with the London brush - i.e, ED is part of London, therefore vehicle theft must be high?

I had the same problem with my 1984 car. The renewal went up from ?330ish to ?770 !!!! (5 years no claims!) I shopped around loads and the chepest I got get was ?520. Ridiculous ! Apprently its the 'whiplash' no claim, no fee merchants that are forcing up premiums.
i had the same problem. Ive recently moved to the area. Funnily enough my car insurance went down by ?100 even though my car is not garaged, but my bike was another story. They refused to insure me if the bike wasnt garaged. I have to rent a garage a mile from my home just so that ive got insurance cover until i can find someone to insure it if its ungaraged. If you find an insurer that insures your bike if its ungaraged please let me know.

Jump from what amount? What area was it insured in before now?

My 13 year old car costs ?440 for third party insurance, down from ?480 last year. I did spend an hour going through all the comparison websites here http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/insurance/compare-cheap-car-insurance to get that.


I would just like to pay for plain third party, and take the risk on fire and theft, but the insurance companies charge you more for that...and sometimes full comp can be cheaper...


Yes, it is mostly down to whiplash and fraud. Insurance companies also have very small profit margins these days after years of competition so need to compensate for that.

I can't remember the name of it but there's a central guide to postcode risk that insurers use and SE22 comes up as bikes only insurable if kept locked away at night. So any insurer who insures on road bikes round here is going against risk advice.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.
