How can I get cheaper motorbike insurance?
You can lower your premium by improving security, restricting mileage, building a no-claims record and comparing quotes, rather than auto-renewing each year.
Ways to bring the price down
Premiums reflect risk, so small changes to how you store, ride and protect your bike can make a real difference at renewal.
- Boost security with an approved immobiliser, alarm or tracker, and keep the bike in a locked garage where possible.
- Limit your mileage and choose the right class of use, as lower annual miles usually mean a lower premium.
- Take advanced training such as an enhanced rider scheme course, which some insurers recognise.
- Protect your no-claims bonus and pay annually rather than monthly to avoid interest.
The single biggest saving usually comes from shopping around. Comparing quotes from several brokers, instead of letting a policy auto-renew, helps you find fairer cover.

Does a bigger voluntary excess lower the cost?
Often yes, as agreeing to pay more towards any claim reduces the premium, but only set an excess you could genuinely afford after an accident.
Will a smaller or learner bike be cheaper to insure?
Generally yes. Lower-powered machines typically cost less to insure, which is why many new riders start on smaller bikes.
Does paying monthly cost more than paying annually?
Usually. Monthly instalments often include interest, so paying for the year in one go is normally cheaper overall.
