Types of insurance cover

Comprehensive

Comprehensive insurance cover provides the most cover, protecting you, your bike, and others in the event of an accident.

Third party, fire, and theft

Third party, fire and theft (TPFT) offers the same level of cover as third-party, but also covers you if your bike is stolen or damaged by fire.

Third party only

The most basic bike insurance policy; it only covers injuries or damage to other people. That means you won’t be protected if you’re injured, or your bike is lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed by fire.
