What does motorbike insurance cost?
Have you just got a new or second-hand motorbike? Then you are obliged to get a motorbike insurance. Because every situation is different, the cost of motorbike insurance can vary. Factors that determine the cost of a motorbike insurance are for example the coverage, your place of residence and the type of motorbike. In this article, you will learn more about the costs of motor bike insurance and what this means.
What is the approximate cost of motorbike insurance?
The cost of motorbike insurance depends on a number of factors. For example, the cover you choose determines the premium. The WA-coverage is mandatory. This means that you are insured in the event that you cause damage to another person with your motorbike. If you choose WA-restricted hull coverage, theft and fire damage are also insured. With WA+casco coverage (all-risk), you are also insured for damage to your own motorbike if you cause an accident. Other factors that determine the cost of a motorbike insurance are:
- The number of claim-free years also determines the premium. The more claim-free years, the more discount you will receive.
- Age of driver. Insurers consider young drivers to be a higher risk. Therefore, the cost of motor insurance for young people is often more expensive than for an older person.
