Switching moped insurance
Switch-mopeds have been around a lot longer than scooters. They once originated as a simple bicycle with an engine attached. Today, most mopeds no longer have a manual transmission. However, there are still shifting mopeds for sale. With a switch moped, you have a little more control because you shift gears yourself. If you have a shifting moped, you may be looking for the right insurance. At Alpina, you can also insure your shifter moped! Here, we tell you all about insuring a gearshift moped.
When is it compulsory to insure your shifter moped?
You are always required to insure your shifter moped. This applies to any motor vehicle. As soon as the license plate of the shifter moped is in your name, you must take out at least third-party moped insurance. This insures you for damage you cause to someone else.
Switching moped insurance: coverage
When purchasing insurance for your shifter moped, you have a choice of three different coverages: WA, WA+ and All-risk. TPL moped insurance is mandatory, but you can also choose to take out more comprehensive coverage. The best coverage to choose depends on your personal situation and your moped.
WA coverage
TPL stands for third-party liability. By taking out third-party insurance you ensure that you are insured for damage you cause to another person. You take out third-party insurance because it is mandatory, but also to protect yourself. If you do not hit another driver too fast with your moped, you might get away with just minor damage. But if you hit another moped or pedestrian at considerable speed, you may also cause personal injury. The consequences of personal injury are serious and can be costly. With third-party insurance you are insured against this.
WA+ coverage
An addition to the compulsory third-party insurance is the WA+ insurance. This is also called third-party liability + theft and fire. From the name you can already see what else you are insured for. Especially theft is often a nice addition. Mopeds are popular with thieves. Check the policy conditions to see if your insurer has any conditions to this coverage. One condition is usually that you have to have a good quality lock on your moped.
All-risk coverage
You can also insure your shifter moped with the most comprehensive coverage: all-risk moped insurance. With this you are insured for all the previously mentioned damages, but also for damage to your own moped, even if the damage is your own fault. All-risk coverage is especially popular for very new or expensive mopeds.
