FREE INSURANCE GIVEAWAY ON JULY'S RIDE-2-WORK DAY
Romford, 8 July 2005 -Specialist motorcycle insurance
broker, Devitt, is celebrating National Motorcycle Week which runs
from 17th – 24th July and Ride 2 Work Day on Wednesday 20th
July, by giving a day’s additional free insurance cover to
thousands of bikers.
Ride 2 Work Day is the main event during National Motorcycle Week
whereby both riders and non-riders are encouraged to travel to work
on two-wheels.
However, Devitt has found that a significant percentage of its
bike-owning policyholders do not have motorcycle insurance that
covers their journey to and from work. So the company has written
to nearly 7,000 of its policyholders offering them free additional
insurance for the day.
Martin Pretlove, Managing Director for Devitt, explained that the
aim is to give the company’s policyholders a fantastic opportunity
to introduce non-riding friends or work colleagues to two-wheels.
He said:
“Although many of our policyholders already ride to work,
we want to ensure that everyone has the chance to show off the benefits
of riding bikes and scooters.”
Devitt also hopes that this promotion will serve to highlight the
need for bikers to invest in adequate insurance cover.
“It would be a fantastic headline that says we are offering
a million pounds worth of insurance, but the truth is that this
giveaway really is minimal - that’s the point.”
“Bike owners may be scared of declaring their commuting to
their insurer because of the big price tag attached,” he says.
“But the difference in premiums for including commuting are
nothing compared to the real cost of having an accident without
adequate cover,” continued Martin.
Devitt policyholders who wish to take advantage of the free insurance
on 20 July, email Devitt at marketing@devittinsurance.com.
