What kind of motorcycle insurance do I need?

Choosing the right type of motorcycle insurance in the UK depends on how you ride, what you ride, and the level of protection you want. Whether you're commuting daily, riding for leisure, or storing your bike for part of the year, understanding the different types of motorbike insurance - Third party, Third party fire and theft, and Fully comprehensive - can help you make an informed decision. In this short guide, we’ll break down each option so you can find the cover that best suits your needs and budget.

Fully comprehensive

The most extensive type of cover; fully comprehensive motorcycle insurance provides peace of mind for almost every eventuality. The major difference to third party cover is that you can claim for damages or losses to your own vehicle as well as others, regardless of whether it’s your fault or not.

Third party, fire and theft

The next level of cover up is third party fire and theft, which takes the basic cover of third party only and includes an extra layer of cover should your motorbike be stolen; or if it is damaged while being attempted to be stolen or catches fire.

Third party only

The most basic (and usually cheapest) level of motorbike insurance is third party only, which, as you would expect, provides the most limited but essential cover. If you are involved in an accident and another person is injured or their vehicle or property is damaged, then you will be liable for the costs incurred to compensate for their losses.

What factors affect the cost of motorbike insurance in the UK?

The cost of motorbike insurance in the UK can vary widely depending on several important factors. When insurers calculate your motorbike insurance quote, they assess your risk profile based on:

  • Your riding history and any previous claims

  • The make, model, and engine size of your motorbike

  • Your age, location, and where the bike is kept overnight

  • Other personal details that may influence your insurance risk

Understanding these factors can help you compare motorbike insurance quotes more effectively and find the best coverage for your needs. Further details on how motorcycle insurance costs insurance costs are calculated.

Extra Cover

Our legal expenses cover can help protect you in the event of an accident that isn't your fault. The cover provides up to £100,000 towards redeeming any expenses you incur throughout the claim.

We also offer personal accident cover, which could provide a one-off cash payment (up to £15,000) in the event of a more serious accident, along with our motorcycle helmet and leathers cover which protects your gear against damage caused (up to £1,500). You can also choose RAC breakdown cover to provide roadside rescue when you need it.

The additional Cover Options are provided by a number of insurers who all meet our high standards of quality and service. Terms and conditions apply to all additional cover options.

Motorbike Insurance FAQ

Yes. To ride your motorcycle on UK roads, you need to be insured. If you're involved in an accident, damage another vehicle or injure someone, having insurance will protect you from liability, and if your bike is stolen or vandalised, insurance can provide compensation. If you don't have motorcycle insurance, you risk a range of penalties such as a £300 fine, six penalty points, or being disqualified from riding your bike altogether.
