Rev Into 2010 For Free - Bennetts Kick-Starts Savings for Bikers With '12 for 9' Promotion*

Peterborough, UK (PRWEB) February 9, 2010

In a bid to buck the winter blues; Bennetts, the UK's number one for bike insurance**, is offering bikers the chance to cut the cost of being on the road in 2010. From 1st February Bennetts is giving motorcyclists twelve months insurance cover for the price of nine, meaning bikers across the UK can help shrug off the cold with a welcome 25% saving on their annual premium.

The '12 for 9' promotion kicks off a range of fantastic money-saving offers taking place throughout the year alongside Bennetts Exclusives - a range of events and biker benefits exclusive to Bennetts customers. If that isn't enough, independent research has shown that 60% of bikers could save money by insuring with Bennetts***.

Hannah Squirrell, Marketing Director of Bennetts says, "We wanted to start the year by giving something back to bikers, and how better to do that than offering them the chance to continue doing the thing that they love most, for less? We hope that by offering bikers twelve months motorbike insurance for the price of nine, we will help loosen the purse strings, and perhaps even encourage more people to take to two wheels in 2010."

Available until 30th April 2010, take advantage of the offer by calling 0800 975 9161 or log on to http://www.bennetts.co.uk/12for9 for more information.
