Since some insurers look at an individual’s credit record before offering insurance cover, it is important to maintain a good credit history. Even after you obtain your motorbike insurance cover, you still need to maintain a good credit history for renewal time.

Choose third party fire and theft insurance cover if you purchase a used bike that has outlived its original value. This cover is much cheaper than comprehensive insurance cover.

Select a higher level of excess on your insurance cover. Many motorbike riders never need to place a claim on their insurance cover and this strategy could save you lots of money. However, on the off chance that you do need to place a claim, only select a level of excess that you will be able to pay if the need arises.

To get the cheapest price on your motorbike insurance cover, don’t list anyone else on your bike. Each rider you add to your cover is going to increase your premium.

Consider the passenger option on your motorbike insurance cover. Even if you will have an occasional guest rider on the back of your motorbike, you will need this type of cover option. However, if you will never have a guest rider, then paying for this option isn’t necessary.

Shop around when renewal time comes around. If your insurer isn’t going to give you a break on your premium, maybe another insurer will.
