Flexirider - motorcycle insurance by the day

Immediate short term cover - available online

Posted: 13 August 2008
by Visordown News

Dayinsure.com the internet based, short term motor insurance provider, has launched Flexirider, a motorcycle insurance scheme offering short term cover purchased by the day.

Flexirider allows bikers to get temporary insurance cover to either enable them to use another bike that does not belong to them, to drive home a new bike or to insure another person to ride their own bike.

Eliminating the need to amend any existing annual policy, Flexirider can be purchased to give up to 28 days bike insurance, per annum, used on a daily basis or for longer periods. The policy is fully comprehensive and the online certificate of insurance can be printed out immediately.

For more info go to:

www.flexirider.co.uk

the exclusions are quite thorough though.

No non-road exhausts, must have an immobiliser etc

AJ and the Lav

E-Bike do a monthly policy. Pay a month at a time, not an annual policy with the premium spread over 12 months.

Costs me £14 per month for the Laverda. Cancel it at anytime. New douments sent out to you each month.

Wouldn't touch ebike with a shitty stick.

I just tried to get a quote for this to transport  the ER6n up to my current address to make it easier selling it (for viewings etc). It tells me that the rider of that vehicle needs to be at least 30 to get flexi insurance. 

 Why?

Cos that's the rule that they apply - their view is any younger and the risk is too high.

Told you there were a lot of exclusions

That's fair enough. It's their ball and they can insure who they like.

Why is it based on age and not experience though? Surely risk is a result of your experience and not your age. Wouldn't a 20 yr old bike with 3 years continuous experience be less risk than a 30 yr old just pased biker?  

Not that I am 20

nor have I three years experience

I always thought that.  The problem is if your 30 and just pass your test the insurance company will still screw you for money, dont worry about that.

Actuarial risk tables, which I don't understand, but they are pretty accurate. it's also a way to limit fraud with these policies, as under 30s are statistically more likely to crash and / or try to defraud the ins co.

Looks like it will be handy for the occasional rebuild for tax/mot but I wouldn't rely on it, the terms are fairly draconian. Lock it up with a mechanical device every time?

The thirty year old limit is just the half of it, you need FIVE years bike licence too.

Too bad for all you noobs then

 Screwd.

Cool idea though. Wonder when you'll be able to tax your bike by the day? Oh I know, NEVER- Gordon wouldn't like losing the money never mind SORNing and unSORNING...
