Cover is available when you meet the riding conditions set out in the PDS, like:
Racing, motocross and riding in professional capacity aren’t covered by the policy. Keep in mind no cover will apply under the personal liability benefit. That means you’re responsible for costs associated with damage to the motorcycle, moped or property, or injury to another person.
For full details, including limits and exclusions, always check the PDS before you buy.
With our travel insurance plans (cover varies depending on the plan you choose), you can add motorcycle and moped cover to have protection for
Cover for riding a motorcycle or moped up to the engine capacity limit set out in the PDS (250cc). Larger bikes aren’t covered.

Reduce or remove your excess when buying your policy.
Valuable items cover if you’re taking valuables like a phone, camera, or laptop with you.
Annual multi-trip cover if you’ll be travelling more than once a year.
Snow sports cover if your holiday also includes skiing or snowboarding.
Take as many trips in a year as you want to your chosen destination or area, all on the one policy. All our annual multi-trip plans are provided under our Comprehensive Travel Insurance plan, giving you our highest-level travel insurance.
You can select cover for up to 30, 45 or 60 days per trip for international policies (15 or 30 for domestic). That way, you can travel as often as you like throughout the year (up to your chosen limit).
To be covered by an annual multi-trip plan, your destination must be over 250km from your home. Or, if your destination is less than 250km from your home, your trip must include at least one night of paid accommodation (like in a hotel or Airbnb).
Start with the plan that matches your trip – Domestic or International. Then you can choose to add motorcycle and moped riding cover when you get your quote, so it appears on your Certificate of Insurance.
From there, think about if you need to cover any specific items. For example, do you need cover for any valuables like your camera, laptop or jewellery? And are the cover limits on those items appropriate for your needs? Do you plan on travelling again later in the year? If so, consider whether an annual multi-trip coverage may be right for you.
Check the PDS for the full riding conditions related to this cover, and choose the extras that fit the way you travel.
Riding on your holiday can be a highlight you look back on for years. But it also comes with risks that aren’t automatically covered. Adding motorcycle and moped cover lets you relax and enjoy the ride, knowing we’re here to help if the unexpected happens.
We’ll help cover overseas medical costs and related expenses if you’re injured overseas while riding or as a passenger (provided you meet the riding conditions and other terms in the PDS). We have 24/7 nurses, doctors, paramedics case managers and travel agents ready to help when you need it.
If you need urgent medical care that isn’t available locally, we can arrange evacuation, transfer or repatriation, for approved claims and subject to policy terms and limits.
Whether it’s a moped in Malaysia or that bucket-list tour on a Royal Enfield, you may be covered for things that can be unique to riding on two wheels.
The extra coverage sits alongside your Domestic or International Travel Insurance, so you can tailor your protection to suit your trip.
