Choose insurance packages that suit your needs

Third-party motorbike insurance is the legal minimum for any motorcyclist looking for an affordable package. This cover includes third party liability. The limitation is that this type of insurance does not cover medical expenses and vehicle repair costs in the event of an accident. The motorcyclist can choose to enrich his civil liability insurance with additional guarantees: theft, fire, vandalism, legal protection or glass breakage. These additional options increase the price of the insurance. They allow motorcyclists to enjoy a more complete protection that adapts to their needs. For better protection, opt for comprehensive motorbike insurance.
