Motorcycle Insurance: Is your bike actually covered at home? The garage clause may surprise you!

Author: Donna Walmsley | Updated: March 8, 2017

 

Motorcycle insurance garage clause

Motorcycle Insurance Garage Clause:

A clause contained in the small print of your policy – which could leave you without a bike.

In reality, I suspect that the majority of people don’t read the small print. It may therefore come as a surprise to many bikers that the motorcycle insurance garage clause can cause major problems if your bike is stolen from your home.

Whiplash Reforms: Penalise the Majority for the Actions of the Few?
