What affects the price of motorbike insurance?
-
The type of motorbike you ride can make a big difference to the price of your premium. Insurers group motorbikes by risk, usually from 1 to 17, although some insurers use groups up to 22. Groups are based on things like repair costs, as well as the bike's value, performance, and engine size.
- Your age can also affect the price, as insurers often see older riders as lower risk than younger, less experienced riders.
- Where you live matters because theft and accident risk varies by location. Living in an area with a higher crime rate can increase your premium.
- Your riding history plays a part, too. Previous claims, penalty points, or driving convictions can push prices up, as insurers see you as more likely to claim again.
How can I save on my Suzuki motorcycle insurance?
-
Pay yearly if possible. Paying in one go is often a bit cheaper than monthly instalments, which can come with interest or credit charges.
-
Give a realistic mileage estimate. More miles usually means more time on the road and a higher chance of an accident or claim. Estimating your annual mileage accurately helps ensure you’re not paying for mileage you won’t actually do.
-
Compare quotes and choose only what you need. Shopping around can help you find a better price, and skipping optional extras you don’t need can keep costs down.
-
Avoid modifications where you can. Modified bikes can be more expensive to insure because repairs may take longer and parts can be harder to source after an accident.
-
Consider a lower powered model. Smaller engines and lower value bikes are often cheaper to insure. Wondering what’s on the market? Suzuki has a range of models with different engine sizes and prices.
-
Build your no claims bonus (NCB). Each claim-free year usually increases your NCB. And the more NCB you’ve built up, the bigger discount your insurer is likely to give you.
What are the different levels of cover?
The level of cover you choose impacts what you’re covered for, as well as how much you pay. There are 3 levels of cover you can choose from:
Third-party
Third-party, fire and theft
Comprehensive
