We've analysed the specialist motorbike insurance through BeMoto. It offers multi-bike policies and won't charge an amendment fee if there's a change mid-term.
BeMoto is a specialist bike insurance broker. Legal expenses cover comes as standard with all BeMoto policies, and customers can upgrade to a Titanium policy, which includes UK and EU breakdown cover, personal accident and helmet and leathers cover. Here’s what else we think you should know about this broker.
BeMoto was established in 2015 to provide specialist insurance for a wide range of bikers and their bikes.
It sources insurance policies for a variety of motorcycles, quads and trikes as well as scooters, modified bikes and classic bikes.
It also offers fire and theft cover for motorcycles kept off the road in a garage under the DVLA’s scheme called SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification). And it can offer track day cover.
BeMoto works with a panel of 10 insurers to source and arrange its motorcycle insurance policies; the panel includes Ageas, AXA, Aviva, Covea, Highway (part of LV=), Markerstudy and Zenith.
Its optional extras are each sourced from a single insurer.
BeMoto is a trading name of Moto Broking Ltd, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
What are BeMoto’s levels of cover?
BeMoto offers three standard types of motorbike cover but these policies can be customised to suit you.
The legal minimum level of cover required in the UK, third party protects you if your motorbike is involved in an accident and ends up damaging another vehicle (and it covers any injuries to someone else). What it won’t cover is the costs related to repairing your bike or medical bills relating to personal injuries.
Third party, fire and theft
If you are responsible for causing an accident, you’ll be protected for damage to other people’s vehicles or property. You’ll also have protection against any fire damage or theft of your car.
Comprehensive
This is the highest level of cover on offer through Aviva and will provide the same protection as TPFT as well as insuring your vehicle against accidental damage and vandalism. It’s always worth checking the cost of comprehensive as it can be cheaper than third party or TPFT.
What types of motorbike insurance are available?
Multi-bike insurance. Cover for more than one bike.
Laid-up and SORN insurance. For bikes that aren’t on the road but still need protection.
Track bike, track day and track day bike damage insurance. BeMoto offers protection whether your track bike is in the garage, in transit to or from events, or damaged at the circuits.
BeMoto can also cover a wide range of bikes:
Classic and modern classic motorbike insurance
Modified motorbike insurance
Sports bike insurance
Supersports and superbike insurance
Naked bike insurance
Off-road and dirt bike insurance
Quad bike road-legal buggy insurance
Moped and scooter insurance
Cruiser and custom bike insurance

How to save on your motorbike insurance policy through BeMoto
Increasing security. If your motorbike is not currently fitted with an alarm, think about adding one to reduce your premium.
Having a secure location to park your motorbike. Motorbikes kept in a garage or on a secure driveway are usually cheaper to insure.
Reduce mileage. If you start working part-time or your long commute becomes much shorter, letting your insurer know about a reduction in your mileage could result in cheaper insurance.
Fewer riders. Only add riders to your policy that regularly ride your motorbike
Ride safely. Safer drivers spend less on motorbike insurance – a history of speeding tickets or claims against your insurance will increase the cost.
Larger excess. Agreeing to pay a bigger voluntary excess could make your overall premium cheaper. But remember that your insurer won’t pay out for a claim that costs less than your excess. So be careful about making it too high, as it could leave you out of pocket if damage occurs.
What is my excess?
Your insurance excess is the amount of money you have agreed to pay towards a claim. Your insurer won’t pay out for a claim that costs less than your excess. A compulsory excess amount might vary depending on the age of your motorbike and your riding experience.
A voluntary excess is on top and is normally set by you when taking out a policy. You’ll have the option of adding or increasing a voluntary excess – which should lower your premium.
You’ll find details about any compulsory or voluntary excesses in your policy document.
