You need to watch the fuckers. As said, never allow auto-renewal. Even if you phone up and get the renewal quote reduced, you need to check that haven't changed something like the excess. Mine had crept up from £100 to £300 one year. Luckily I didn't need to make a claim.

Here they always auto renew. You have to send notice in writing 30 days before renewal to cancel.

It used to be due to the high theft rate of top end sportsbikes and their accident claims were typically more expensive due to speed related damage causing disproportionate amount of write offs as panel prices are so high. So its actually down to you tossers with Sports Bikes!! :lol:
