Motorcycle Trader Insurance

One way to do this is by purchasing a motor trade insurance policy, specifically for motorcycle traders. As you’ll see below, Gallagher offers a range of motorcycle trader policies that can be flexible to your business’ unique needs, covering potential accidents, theft, liability claims, and much more.

What is motorcycle trade insurance?

Motorcycle trade insurance provides specialised cover for your bike business. It’s designed specifically for anyone who works with motorbikes, including dealerships, MOT and service centres, and bodywork garages.

Why do motorbike traders need insurance?

As a legal minimum, you must have road risks insurance. However, working with motorbikes poses additional risks, including accidents, theft, premises damage, and employers’ liability claims, which basic policies may not insure you against.

As a result, you could be responsible for covering fees, fines, and other damage costs yourself. So, opting for more comprehensive cover through motorbike trade insurance is a way to help protect you and your business from financial loss.

What does motorcycle trader insurance cover?

No two motorbike businesses are the same, which means the level of cover you need will differ too. You can choose between varying levels of protection, ranging from essential minimum protection to comprehensive.

Policies typically include:

• Third-party — covers third-party damage to other vehicles when driving.
• Third-party fire and theft — covers third-party damage to other vehicles when driving and protects your bikes against fire and theft.
• Comprehensive — the most inclusive cover, insuring your business premises, stock, and tools against theft and loss. Comprehensive policies also often extend to public and employers’ liability claims.
