Get a motorbike insurance quote from Devitt today and we’ll compare prices a panel of established insurers in the UK to find you our best price. We’ve been providing motorbike insurance for UK bikers since 1936, so you’re in safe hands.

Commuting to college or university by motorbike or scooter is a cost-effective way to save yourself time and money. There’s plenty of benefits including free allocated parking for bikers (in most areas), cheap to run in terms of petrol and tax, and a lot less time stuck in traffic – those are just a few perks of being a biker!
Whether you’ve only got your CBT or a restricted licence, we will use a panel of established UK insurers to find our best price for you, regardless if you’re looking for fully comprehensive insurance, third party or third party fire and theft. We can take you through a quotation over the phone, which will give you the opportunity to ask questions about the cover on offer. Although we can’t advise on what you should do, we can explain the different types available.
Getting a quote couldn’t be easier. You’ll just need a few pieces of information to hand, including details of your bike, your location, where the bike is stored and any additional security measures you have such as chains and alarms. You can get a quick quote online, and buy your insurance there or you could call one of our friendly insurance agents on 0345 872 3614 for a quote over the phone.
We also offer optional extras that you can include within your policy, which may help to offer additional peace of mind. These include Legal Expenses, Helmet & Leathers cover, Breakdown cover and Personal Accident. They can be purchased individually (at additional cost) but they are also included in our handy Enhanced and Evolution packages at a reduced cost. You can see more about these cost saving packages here.
It’s important to stay safe when you’re riding so it’s crucial that you invest in a good quality helmet as this will protect you immensely if you find yourself unfortunate enough to be in an accident. It’s also worth looking into jackets, trousers and gloves, especially in our unpredictable British weather, to help keep you protected and dry when riding.
