What is temporary motorbike insurance?
If you’re planning on using a motorbike temporarily, whether it be borrowing a friend’s or a classic motorbike you only ride occasionally, then having temporary motorbike insurance may be the most flexible and cost-effective option. Unlike annual motorbike insurance policies, temporary motorbike insurance is designed to only cover you for the short term. This can often work out as a cheaper more flexible alternative for riders only needing short-term motorbike cover.
How long does temporary motorbike insurance last?
The exact duration of a temporary motorbike insurance policy will depend on your exact policy details and what is offered by the provider. Typically – any time frame under 28 days is considered short-term by most insurance providers. Whilst some providers may let you dictate the exact time frame you need to be covered, it is likely that you will be offered cover for a set time frame.

When will I need temporary motorbike insurance?
Some examples of when temporary motorcycle insurance may be useful include the following:
Borrowing a motorbike
Borrowing a friend or family member’s motorbike is fairly common – especially for situations where your own bike is in a repair shop.
Test riding a new bike
If you are looking at purchasing a new bike and want to take it for a test ride – you’ll still need to be insured before hitting the road. 1 day or 24 hour temporary cover would be ideal for these scenarios.
Picking up a new bike

Remember that you will need to be insured any time you are riding on a public road regardless of your experience.
How much is temporary motorbike insurance?
Temporary motorbike insurance will vary in price depending on your provider and the bike you need insured.
