Insuring cars is an easy task, every single insurance advert is based around car drivers, but what about those who ride a motorbike? There are very few companies that actually seem interested in offering insurance specifically to bike users, let alone build policies and quotes around them.

This can make it difficult to find the best competitive rates, even with the whole vast array of comparison companies about and comparison websites online. They all just mainly focus on cars! However there is still hope as a certain amount of insurers really do value their bike rider customers.

These companies will often have dedicated areas of their website especially for motorbike users, allowing you to make sure that you are getting competitive quotes for you and your circumstances. There are even a few insurers that focus solely on motorbike based insurance, however they are not as common or always well known.

Make sure you check multiple different insurers for their prices, as just choosing the first company you speak to will almost always mean you are going to end up paying far more money than you need to.

If you do use a comparison website to compare bike insurance policies then ensure that the policies are being compared on a like for like basis. Some companies are somewhat sneaky and compare policies that aren't offering exactly the same things, and don't tell you. This can make certain policies or companies look far more attractive if you don't know exactly what is being offering.

As such you should always make sure that you fully read and understand exactly what type of insurance you are getting, as well as any hidden or additional costs there may be on your policy. Some companies charge a much higher excess on any claims to make back losses due to cheap policies, however this can make it incredibly expensive when you do have to make a claim.

Always ensure you let your insurer know of any no claims discount you may have. Your no claims can lead to substantial reductions in your policy's price, especially if you have over 5 years claim free.

Some companies offer you the ability to protect your no claims benefit, so even in the event of an accident you do not lose it in the future. While this can sometimes be quite expensive, you might end up saving hundreds or even thousands of pounds should you have to make a claim, losing your no claims discount on future policies.

One of the greatest ways to find cheap bike insurance is to shop online. There are a lot of smaller insurance companies that are able to offer cheaper deals along with some of the larger well established companies, it's just a matter of finding them! You also have the advantage of being able to quickly fill out online forms to get instant quotes, rather than having to repeat yourself numerous times over the phone to each individual company. Using online comparison sites or brokers who specialise in bike insurance can speed up the rate at which you obtain quotes, meaning you can find the best bike insurance for you, at the most competitive rates.
