Motorbike insurance types

There are 3 types of cover for bike insurance and these consist of:

Third party only

This is the most basic of covers for bike insurance and covers you for third party bodily injury and damage to third party property.

Third Party Fire and Theft

This covers all of the above plus fire and theft cover.

Comprehensive

This insurance covers both of the above plus accidental damage to your bike.

Motorbike insurance excesses

All Third Party Fire and Theft and Comprehensive policies will have a compulsory excess which is fixed by the insurer, however on most comprehensive bike insurances this can be increased by taking a voluntary excess.
