Post Office insurance for motorcyclists launched

Wed 7th May 2008

The Post Office has launched a new motorcycle insurance policy, with one month's free cover offered for a limited period.

Customers taking out the policy can also choose from a number of options, such as insuring up to four bikes on the same policy or taking out up to £500 accessories cover per bike.

Female bikers in particular could stand to benefit from the Post Office's insurance, as they can claim a discount of up to 36 per cent in addition to any other discounts that are applicable.

According to the insurer's data, motorcycle use has increased by 37 per cent over the past ten years in the UK, with 1.2 million bikers currently on the roads.

Richard Pennant-Jones, Post Office head of general insurance, commented: "We expect the number of motorcyclists to increase further over the next few years and have launched this new policy to provide them with comprehensive cover at a competitive price."

Recently the Post Office urged 'health tourists' travelling abroad for medical procedures to ensure they have the correct level of travel insurance.
