Most people would agree that they try and save as much money as they can, wherever possible. This can include their monthly utility bills, food shopping and more often than not, all forms of insurance.

Most insurance is, unfortunately, a necessary evil and required by law, regardless of its cost. In a recent survey, it was found that one in five motorists admitted to driving without the necessary insurance for their vehicle as they believed the cost was too high. However, when looking at the type of coverage insurance companies have to offer to motorists, this idea is very questionable and especially when considering the overall cost if the person was to be involved in an accident can outweigh the cost of an insurance policy considerably.

Not only does motorbike insurance cover the person in case of an accident, it also covers them against injuries that happen to them and others involved. Furthermore, most insurance policies include protection against theft or damage to the vehicle. For example, if an uninsured vehicle gets stolen or is set on fire, then the owner receives no compensation and ends up out pocket, without transportation. As driving without insurance is also a legal offence, it can lead to the vehicle being towed away and the owner being fined, leaving them even more worse off financially and without a vehicle at all.

By choosing motorbike insurance that suits the individual exactly, it can mean that the insurance premiums remain as low as possible. The owner should think about what type of bike insurance is needed, as there are three main types of insurance people can choose from, depending on how much coverage they require.

Firstly, Third Party insurance is the lowest in terms of both value and coverage, as it only covers damage to other people and their property and will not provide any form of cover for the policy holder.

The more common type of insurance is Third Party, fire and theft. This cover ensures that your motorbike will be covered in the event of fire damage and theft, as well as repairs to other vehicles in the event of an accident which is the policy holders fault.

The third and generally most expensive type of insurance is Fully Comprehensive, which covers the policy holder for everything included in Third Party and Third Party, fire and theft, as well as cover for the policy holder should they or their motorbike become injured or damaged.

There are many factors which contribute to how much someone will pay for motorbike insurance, some of which are uncontrollable. Where someone lives, the age of the driver and the type of job they have can all raise or lower their insurance premium. Furthermore, it is also important to tell the insurance companies if any modifications have been carried out to the motorbike, especially if the modifications will affect the performance of their motorbike. Failure in informing the insurance companies about these modifications may lead to the insurance policy being cancelled and therefore the vehicle will become uninsured and illegal to drive on a public road.
