Car Insurance excess: To excess or not to excess? That is the great adulting question

Motorcycle Insurance FAQs

Why do I need motorbike insurance?

Bike insurance is a recommended requirement for anyone riding a motorcycle on the road. It protects you against liability you may have if your bike is involved in an accident and damages another vehicle or injures another person.

What are the different types of motorbike insurance?

Third party insurance is the cheapest option. It provides the basic motorcycle cover and pays out for damage to someone else or their property if your bike is involved in an accident. However, it doesn't cover repairing or replacing your motorcycle.

What is third party motorbike insurance?

Third party, fire and theft insurance provides the same cover for your motorcycle as third party insurance, but in addition it covers the cost of repairing or replacing your bike if it's stolen or damaged by fire.

What is comprehensive motorbike insurance?

This is the most inclusive motorbike insurance. As well as having all of third party motorcycle insurance, it will cover repairs for your bike and the loss if it's stolen

What factors affect my motorbike insurance cost?

Your insurance premium will depend mostly on your age (the younger you are, the higher the risk), the make, the power and capacity of your motorbike's engine and the area where you live. Insurance companies will also take into account your driving record including previous accidents, claims and road traffic convictions. Factors will vary from insurer to insurer.

What is a no-claims bonus?

A no claim bonus is effectively a reward that an insurance company gives to policy holders who do not claim on their insurance policies for a specified period of time. The exact parameters, requirements, time periods and rewards vary from insurance company to insurance company. These bonuses are part of the benefits that insurers market to prospective clients and many people seek out specific bonus features as part of what they look for when sourcing an insurance company to tend to their insurance needs.

What is an excess?

All motorcycle insurance policies will expect you to pay the first part of any claim, this is called a compulsory excess. How much this will be will depend on the individual policy and on the claim. You may be able to reduce the cost of your motorbike insurance by paying a higher voluntary excess, an amount in addition to the compulsory excess. Generally speaking the more you agree to pay the cheaper your premium.

How can I cut the cost of my Motorcycle Insurance?

There are various ways in which you can help cut the cost of your motorcycle insurance: • keep your bike in a locked garage, overnight • you could pay a higher excess • complete an approved advanced riding course • fit security such as an insurance-approved lock and alarm, immobilizer or data tag identification and tracking system
