Can scooter insurance be purchased in my parent's name?
In principle, the holder of the vehicle registration certificate must take out a suitable insurance himself. The holder of the scooter's registration number is obliged to take out insurance: at least a third-party insurance must be taken out.
If your parents have the scooter in their name, they can buy scooter insurance. If you are going to ride it, you must be listed as the driver. This is to avoid problems in case of damage.
Why do I pay much more insurance premium for a scooter than my parents?
Insurers calculate scooter insurance premiums based on the youngest driver. Younger drivers (under age 24) have less driving experience and are more likely to be involved in claims. To ensure that the insurer can bear this claim burden, the premium is higher for younger drivers.
Can the insurer be difficult if the right person is not on the policy?
Yes. The insurer calculates its premium based on an estimate of the risk it runs. If it turns out that the correct information was not provided with the application (and thus a lower premium was paid), the insurer may charge an increased deductible in the event of a claim. You will then pay more of the damage yourself. Also, the insurer may decide not to reimburse the claim at all due to fraud. So it is very unwise not to mention the youngest driver in the application.
Can my parents take care of the insurance business for me?
Until you are 18 years old, your parents can arrange insurance matters for you. Are you over 18? Then you have to apply for scooter insurance yourself. For questions and changes, your parents can call you when you have given them permission to do so.
Is the license plate in your name? Then it makes more sense to take out your own insurance for the scooter. This is the only way to build up claim-free years. When the license plate is in your name, scooter insurance is mandatory. You have to have at least a third-party insurance for your scooter.

Which coverage is the best choice for your scooter
Coverages vary widely, but so does the premium. For third-party + theft, fire and collision, you will pay more than for third-party insurance. Of course, the coverages in the different forms of insurance also vary greatly. The WA scooter insurance only pays out when causing damage to another person. Damage to your own scooter is not covered by this insurance. In case of theft or damage as a result of an accident, you have to pay the costs yourself. The amount of the daily value can play an important role in your choice of coverage, as well as the premium that insurers ask for the coverage.
