Motor insurance is a vital protection that we all need to have, whether we travel on four wheels or two. Accidents happen and even the most careful driver or motorcycle rider can be involved in an incident or have their vehicle stolen or damaged.

Suncorp Motorcycle Insurance offers three levels of cover, with a policy that’s right for you and your motorcycle. They include: Third Party Property Damage; Fire, Theft and Third Party Property Damage; and Comprehensive cover. All are underwritten by AAI Limited, one of Australia’s largest general insurers.

We don't currently have this brand on our panel. But don't fret! You can head to the Suncorp website or compare other motorcycle insurance cover with finder.
