Frequently Asked Questions

We get it — insurance can be a lot to wrap your head around. Our FAQs cover the things riders often ask us, so you can spend less time searching and more time riding.

What is the difference between Agreed Value and Market Value?

Agreed Value means you are insured for that set sum insured, in the event of a total loss. Market Value means, in the event of a total loss you will be paid out, the current market value of your motorcycle prior to the incident and taking into consideration the motorcycle’s make, model, age, general condition and any accessories and enhancements and kilometres travelled immediately prior to the incident.

How do I obtain an Agreed Value?

By contacting our customer service team and having a discussion and coming to a mutual agreement on a value amount which could involve paying an extra premium.
