Motorbike GAP Insurance

What is Motorcycle GAP Insurance?

Motorcycle GAP Insurance will protect you in the event your motorbike or scooter is declared a total loss through accident, fire or theft.

Motorcycle Vehicle Replacement Plus covers the difference between your motor insurer’s settlement and the cost of replacing your bike new for old (or with one of the same age as the original bike at the time you purchased it, if not brand new).

If you have finance on the vehicle and the settlement figure is the higher amount at the time, either policy will pay up to that amount instead.

Do I need Motorcycle GAP?

With Motorcycle Vehicle Replacement, the answer to this is yes, if you want to:

Protect the value of your vehicle, which might be more than you paid
Protect against rising costs of new vehicle and/or any discount you received at the time of purchase
