Cover a borrowed or newly bought bike

Buying a bike privately and need to ride it home? Borrowing a friend’s machine for the weekend? A short-term policy in your name covers you without touching anyone else’s no-claims bonus and without a year-long commitment.

Flexible durations to suit the ride

Pick the exact window you need — a single hour, a day, a week, or up to 28 days. You only pay for the cover you use, and there are no admin or cancellation fees.

Comprehensive protection as standard

Policies come fully comprehensive with fire, theft and third-party liability included, so both you and the bike are protected for the length of cover.

Frequently asked questions
