Also take into account the legal and medical fees should you get into an accident will certainly be higher than you’d expect. So with that in mind, it may be worth considering. Our Insurance is affordable and comprehensive feel free to get in touch to discuss your options with us.
Most scooter users can. To get a quote, tell us the type of equipment, what you paid for it and how old it is. Your cover is based on your answers, so check they're accurate.
Home contents insurance rarely covers a scooter once it leaves your home, and it usually won't include breakdown recovery or cover if you injure someone when you're out on it. Check your home policy. If it falls short, a scooter policy fills the gap.
