Motorcycle insurance: best solutions

Motorcycle insurance is a topic that many motorcyclists deal with every year. But what exactly does motorcycle insurance cover and why is it important to have it?

First, motorcycle insurance is required by law . In fact, Italian law provides that every vehicle must be insured with civil liability insurance, which covers damage to other people or third party property in the event of a road accident. The purpose of this cover is that, in the event of an accident, the driver of the motorcycle or car which caused the damage may be required to bear the cost of repairing the damage caused to other people or property. When buying an RC policy you need to pay close attention to the ceilings . Coverage refers to the maximum level of compensation for damages caused to third parties. Once this level is exceeded, the policyholder will be personally and out-of-pocket liable for all losses caused by him.

A motorcycle cannot even leave the garage without liability insurance. Indeed, license plates would not be issued without a liability policy. Liability comes into play when you cause damage to someone else's property, for example if you scratch an adjacent car by parking your motorcycle.

However, motorcycle insurance is not limited to civil liability: in addition to the compulsory coverage, you also have the option of adding other options to your policy, such as coverage for theft , fire and driver's accident.

Theft insurance covers the risk of the motorcycle being stolen and repays its value in the event of theft. Fire insurance, on the other hand, covers damage to motorcycles caused by fire, including any damage to vehicles in the immediate vicinity of the motorcycle. Finally, driver accidental damage insurance protects motorcyclists while driving in the event of falls or accidents .

In general, the cost of motorcycle insurance depends on several factors, such as the age of the driver, the horsepower of the motorcycle, the number of kilometers traveled per year and where you live. There are also factors related to the experience and history of the driver himself, such as his previous accidents or the number of years on his licence.

You can often save on moped insurance simply by perusing the various offers on the market. But this is an operation that can take a long time, as there are dozens of insurance companies active in Italy that offer many different policies. You should check the motorcycle policies on the various websites , or call the various insurance companies communicating your data and waiting for their estimates .

But how do you choose the best motorcycle insurance? First, you must read the policy carefully in all details and fully understand all terms and restrictions . Furthermore, it is important to evaluate the quotes of different insurance companies, compare their costs and the coverage included, and choose the one that best meets your needs.

In Italy, there is a wide variety of motorcycle insurance options to choose from, from traditional insurers to online companies. Traditional insurers often offer customized policies that allow you to choose from different options and cost ranges. On the other hand, online businesses are often cheaper due to lower operational and administrative costs, but usually offer less flexible services.

The choice of motorcycle insurance also depends on the type of motorcycle you use. For example, if you own a large-engined motorcycle, you will have to opt for a policy with broader coverage to protect yourself from damage even to large vehicles or people in the event of an accident. In any case, it is essential to fully understand all the conditions of the chosen policy to avoid unpleasant surprises in the event of a claim.

Finally, an important note: to avoid problems with your motorcycle insurance, you must respect the traffic rules and drive responsibly and carefully. In the event of an accident, it is important that you follow the procedures specified by your insurer, provide all relevant information (e.g. name, address and details of the opposing insurer) and document this with photographs and evidence where possible.

In summary, motorcycle insurance is an important protection for any motorcyclist, allowing you to ride safely and sleep soundly knowing you are covered.
