Frequently asked questions
Which types of motorcycles does Budget Direct insure?
We insure a wide range of on-road and off-road motorcycles against accidental loss or damage, namely:
- road bikes
- scooters
- cruisers
- enduro motorbikes
- sports bikes
- dual-sport motorcycles.
Do you insure motorcycles used for business?
No — Budget Direct does not insure motorbikes used for business of any kind, including:
- carrying passengers for payment
- carrying or delivering other people’s goods for payment, whether as a contractor or otherwise (e.g. parcel or food delivery)
- riding tuition for payment
- hiring the motorcycle to other people.
We cover only motorbikes used privately, including for commuting to and from your home and regular place of work.
Does motorcycle insurance cover modifications?
Budget Direct covers all aftermarket modifications to your comprehensively insured motorcycle, except:
- custom paintwork (excluding decals/stickers)
- ECU (electronic control unit) remap or upgrade
- frame or subframes
- nitrous oxide kit
- turbo or supercharged.
If your aftermarket modification is not listed and you’re unsure whether we’ll cover it, contact us and we’ll let you know.
When getting a quote and buying insurance, you’ll need to tell us about any modifications and accessories.
This will ensure you know what your policy does and does not cover.
Which riders must be listed on my policy?
You must list any household members (including learner, provisional and occasional riders) who may ride the motorcycle. Unlisted household members will not be covered.
Any non-household members who ride the bike are automatically covered. If you list them on your policy, you’ll avoid having to pay the unlisted rider excess (other excesses may apply).
If I make an insurance claim, what will my excess be?
Unless you or another rider of your motorcycle have a no-fault accident, you’ll be required to pay:
- your Basic Excess
….as well as any additional excesses that apply, namely:
- rider is under 24 years of age inclusive
- rider has not held a full Australian licence for at least two years
- rider is not listed on your insurance certificate.
The dollar amounts of your Basic Excess and the additional excesses are shown on your insurance certificate.
