Shopping around for Motorbike Insurance?

Everyone remembers the day they could finally start riding on their own two wheels. Specialist motorcycle insurer Bikesure answers common questions new riders ask when taking out their first policy.

WHY SHOULD I GET MY INSURANCE WITH BIKESURE?

We find appropriate policies on your behalf. We have access to a wide variety of specialist moped and scooter insurance providers with extra special rates for new riders like you. And the cover can be tailored to your exact needs.

HOW CAN I SAVE MORE MONEY ON MY YOUNG RIDER MOTORCYCLE INSURANCE?

You can save money by following a few simple steps. The first, and most important tip, is to remember that our cheapest rates are only available over the phone on 0800 032 5350.

You can secure further discounts by joining an owners’ club, agreeing a limited mileage policy, having extra security measures fitted and garaging your bike when it’s not in use.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN BENEFITS OF THESE POLICIES?

All Bikesure policies come with £100,000 legal expenses cover free of charge. You will also have access to a 24-hour claims hotline, a suitable replacement vehicle (where eligible) in the event of a non-fault claim, and access to a panel of legal experts to help you through any litigation. Other brokers and insurers charge up to £32 or more for similar cover.

Although they are too young to take out a loan agreement 16-year-olds do not need to pay the premium in full. We can arrange for the premium to be paid by way of a loan agreement by a parent or guardian.

ARE THERE ANY OPTIONAL EXTRAS I CAN GET WITH MY COVER?

There are lots of great value optional extras. These include: helmet and leathers cover from £29.99 a year, breakdown cover from £62 a year, excess protection from £34.99 a year, keycare for £19 a year and personal accident cover for £17 a year.
