Hi Jonathan
We would like to look into this for you, however there are no contact details,client reference or policy number provided. Please could you contact us via our live chat facility through your portal or our web site so we could look into this for you.

Ridiculous
Nothing on their website works, so I can't access my account.
It won't let me register, it won't let me do "forgot password", so no other options available.
Live chat doesn't work.
No customer support telephone number.
So they want to auto-renew my policy, which I don't want, and they are preventing me from accessing my account to cancel.
Shocking company: avoid like the plague>

Hi
As the review has come through via a third party site, we have no details to contact you so we could assist you with assessing your portal. Our live chat has been busy, but is available to use, and one of our agents will be able to assist you with any portal issues you may have.
Thanks

Hi Jamie
We are sorry that you were unable to contact us via your portal. The renewal invites are sent out at least 3 weeks before the renewal date, so it would give you time to contact us before the policy lapses.
We can see that you have been in touch via the live chat facility and we were able to price match your renewal for you as it was within the first 14 days, and you have taken the policy out. The agent has added that new policy to your portal. Please contact us if you have any issues accessing that.
Thanks for renewing with us again.

No facility to speak to customer services
I have been a customer for several years, but never had cause to claim. Today I tried to cancel my policy because I no longer have a bike. The only way to do this is via the portal, but I was unable to pay the balance, because the MCD's payment system was faulty. I tried several debit and credit cards, but kept getting payment error. I even tried my wife's debit card. I tried the live chat facility, but that didn't work either and wouldn't allow me to type in any text. I tried a different browser, but same result. I tried calling the claim line, recorded msg said they can't sort out policy issues. Eventually I contacted a broker for MCD and he gave me a number for customer services - after 30 mins of my time, I paid the balance to a customer services agent over the phone. Why do MCD make it so difficult to speak to someone? They actively avoid publishing a customer service number. If they are a digital company only, they should have a back-up just in case their systems are faulty. Will they pay me an admin charge for waisting my time, because their systems were faulty? I'm very disappointed, be aware of the limitations of this company.

Hello Mr Fernandes
Thank you for taking the time to get in touch with us and for making the effort to settle the outstanding balance following the cancellation of your policy.
We’re sorry to hear that you experienced difficulties making the payment. There was a temporary issue with our payment system during this period, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this caused.
Our live chat facility remained available, and once connected with an agent, customers were also contacted by phone to arrange payment. As a digital broker, we provide support through your online portal and website, including our live chat service.
We appreciate you taking the time to contact us and are sorry that your experience was not as straightforward as it should have been. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Been great last year when I insured my bike. Came up for renewal and they sent it to my portal and told me that I accept it through there. I couldn’t and so emailed to tell them. Had someone call me and leave a message but when I tried to call back no one answered. Now just received and email saying they have cancelled it. I’m not happy and will be looking for another company due to not getting help with accepting the quote as couldn’t via the portal.

Hi Lucy
We are sorry that you were unable to take up your renewal via your portal. We can see that we did leave a voicemail, as you confirmed, and we also sent out an urgent contact letter via email asking you to get in touch regarding your renewal. As we did not hear from you, due to you not being able to get through, and the policy was not renewed via portal, the policy did lapse down on the renewal date. One of our agents would have been able to assist you with your portal and renewal via our live chat facility. If we can still assist you with your renewal, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Many thanks

Hi Joe
As your review has come via a third party site, I do not have any details to look into query, and see why you did not receive a renewal, or why money was taken out of your account. If money was taken, it would mean that a renewal had been offered, so we would need to look into this for you. Please could you contact us via our live chat facility so we could investigtae.
Many thanks

TERRIBLE customer service!
I wouldn't normally leave a review but I've just experienced TERRIBLE customer service! I have a multi bike policy and had to make a change to the reg number as I wanted to assign a personal plate to one of the bikes. You have to make any changes on the customer portal which is a pain in itself, but although you can make a change on the portal on a single bike policy, they won't allow you to do so on a multi bike policy??!! The 'admin' fee is £20 on a single bike policy but I had to pay £50 just to change the reg number, which is absolutely extortionate and there's zero justification in charging such an amount! I've been a customer of Motorcycle Direct for a number of years but was treated pretty much with contempt by the so-called 'agent' who had no empathy whatsoever, was very unhelpful and cut me off our chat immediately after I'd paid - I didn't bother shopping around this renewal but will certainly do so next year

Hi Andy
Please accept our sincere apologies for the service provided. As the review has come through from a third party provider, we have only received your 1st name, and are unable to locate your policy to look into this interaction for you. You are correct that you are unable to make any changes to multi bike policy via the portal, and would have to come through to an agent, no matter what change you are looking to process. Please could you contact us via our live chat facility so we could investigate this further for you, as this is not the level of service we strive to provide.
Many thanks

I have received a message to phone you. It just directs you to the web site. 4 weeks ago I sent a letter by recorded delivery requesting a refund for the money you automatically debited from my account. I had already insured elsewhere. I'm not impressed with your customer service.

Hi Mr Parry
We can see that you have done numerous quotes, with our different packages and optional extras on, as well as on different bikes. We would be happy to run through those quotes with you, and go over the one that you were looking to take out, and see if there was a price difference when it came through from the comparison site. If you can contact us again via our live chat facility, we can look into this for you.

unable to contact this company
unable to contact this company, waited 33 minutes in chat to speak to an advisor who disconnected the chat in less than a minute because I hadn't replied quick enough. They asked what I was contacting them about but it was all in the chat history with the bot, they didnt even take the time to look at previous messages... absolute joke. No phone number, no email... businesses should not be able to operate like this.

Insurance policy was cancelled
Insurance policy was cancelled , no way to contact them to find out why as the only way seems to be an online portal which I can’t access as I don’t have a policy . Had been with them for many years and they did this after many years of auto renewals . Would not recommend at all .

Hi Robert
You can contact us via our live chat facility on our website. One of our agents would be able to run through the reason as to why your policy was cancelled. We can see that a cancellation notice was sent out via email, and a SMS followed that. As we had no response, the policy was then cancelled down.

Hi Nigel
We have looked into your query about your cancellation. The policy was taken out online in February 2026. Before purchasing the policy you agree to the terms of business, which lay out the basic cancellations costs. We can see that you have been in touch via our live chat facility where the agent offered to give you a breakdown of the cancellation figures, but had no reply back. If you would like us to run through those with you, please contact us again via the live chat facility.
Many thanks

Frustrating and Dissmisive.
Disappointing!!
I requested my document pack be sent through the post. After two months, I'm still waiting. Several phone calls later, all I get is welcome letters instead of my certificate etc. I was assured that three copies had been posted to me in response to my calls, and yet none materialised. It's odd that i can receive duplicate welcome letters, but no insurance certificate.
Blaming the postal service is no excuse, and the overreliance on the `Customer Portal` is limiting and seemingly impossible to access.
