Athough scooters tend to be quite cheap, insuring your scooter is a must. These light-weight vehicles are very easy to steal, so having some form of cover is essential. Accidents on scooters are quite common, so having liability insurance to cover both the rider and other people on the road, like pedestrians, is essential.

Should you be interested in acquiring some form of scooter insurance bear, in mind that if you have other scooters or motorcycles a multi-bike policy may be more affordable. Also some insurers provide discounts on premiums for people who have passed advanced riding courses. Scooters that are locked in a garage at night are a lower risk to insurance companies so additional discounts are available for this.
