What can Motorbike Insurance cover?

We have three levels of insurance cover for your bike:

Fully comprehensive cover icon
Fully Comprehensive

Gives you the same cover as Third Party Fire and Theft, plus you’re covered for your vehicle and injuries in the event of an accident, whether it’s your fault or not. This includes damage caused to your bike when it’s unattended, such as a vandalism incident or a hit and run.

Third party, fire & theft icon
Third Party, Fire and Theft

Offers slightly more than the legal minimum level of cover. TPFT gives you everything you get with third party only. It also covers fire damage to your car, or damage because of a theft or attempted theft of your car. You are not covered for damaged to your own car in the event of an accident that was your fault.

Third party icon
Third Party Only

This is the most basic cover you can buy, legally. It means your legal liability to third parties is covered, including damage to their vehicle or compensation for injuries sustained if the accident was your fault. If your car is damaged in any way, this isn’t covered.

My bike has modifications, can I still get cover?

This will depend on the modifications. Details of modifications will need to be referred to the insurer to confirm if they will cover the bike or not. Please make sure you mention any and all modifications to your vehicle at the time of taking out your insurance, or your policy may be void.

How much is motorbike insurance?

All motorbike insurance quotes are generated based on the individual policyholder and their motorbike. When taking out a quote, we will ask a series of questions to find out what type of cover you require, including the make and model of your bike, your driving history, and any previous claims or convictions. The quote generated will be the best price we can offer based on the information you have provided.

Who needs Motorbike Insurance?

Like car insurance, it’s a legal requirement to have motorbike insurance if you ride a motorcycle on a public road in the UK. Motorcycle insurance makes sure that if your bike is stolen, involved in an accident or damaged, you can recover the costs.
