Watch out for excessive mid-term charges

Insured various bikes through Bennetts over the years, but the current bike will be the last one. Made a simple policy change (changed registration number when I removed a private plate) and they decided to apply the maximum mid-term ammendment charge. When I did the same with Swinton a couple of of years ago on my car, there was no charge for that kind of minor change, and I've just done the same with another bike through Devitt, and again absolutely no charge. Sadly Bennetts obviously put revenue above their customers, they'll be losing one as a result.

Hello Alan,

Thank you for sharing your experience at Bennetts.

I understand that you may have been surprised with the fees, however we do everything we can to be as transparent as possible with all fees and charges. We ensure that we make customers aware of the cost before, during and after the sale of the insurance policy.

Our amendment fee of up to £32 is reviewed against industry standard to maintain the best possible customer experience whilst recovering the policy losses such as in this instance.

If you have any queries or questions regarding our mid-term process, we would be happy to answer these for you via our webchat service at https://www.bennetts.co.uk or call 0344 412 2171.

Thank you, Anthony.

The annual policy price has always been good and fair, this was after originally they didn't want to reconize my years of no claims, the big thing is they listened to my complaint and adjusted my policy price. So very good when an insurance company actually listens to you.

Hello Stephen,

Thank you very much for taking the time to pass this feedback on. We always work towards providing the best customer experience possible so it is disappointing to read your comments.

The cost of a mid-term change is reflective of the current underwriter you are with and the insurance premiums are generated by the underwriters on a live pricing system which calculates the current premium based on the risk of the policy.

If you have any further queries or questions regarding our mid term adjustment process we would be happy to answer these for you via our webchat service at https://www.bennetts.co.uk/.

Thanks again, Anthony.
