Motorcycle Insurance in the UAE

Motorcycle insurance provides protection against eligible risks arising from owning and riding an insured motorcycle, including third-party liability and, where covered, damage to your own bike.

Al Buhaira provides motorcycle insurance options for eligible motorcycles and riders, subject to usage, underwriting requirements and applicable policy terms.

Types of Motorcycle Insurance

The main motorcycle insurance options in the UAE include comprehensive and third-party liability coverage for eligible motorcycles and riders.

1. Comprehensive Motorcycle Insurance

Comprehensive motorcycle insurance may provide eligible protection for accidental damage to your own motorcycle together with third-party liability. Fire, theft and other insured risks may also be covered depending on the policy.

2. Third-Party Motorcycle Insurance

Third-party liability insurance mainly provides protection against eligible bodily injury or property damage caused to other parties. It generally does not cover accidental damage to your own motorcycle.

What Does Motorcycle Insurance Cover?

Depending on the selected policy, motorcycle insurance may include:

Accidental damage to the insured motorcycle
Third-party bodily injury and property damage
Fire and theft where covered
Personal accident benefits where available
Natural-event coverage where included
Optional benefits subject to policy terms

Coverage remains subject to policy limits, excess, exclusions and conditions.

What Affects Motorcycle Insurance Cost?

The applicable premium may depend on factors such as:

Motorcycle make and model
Bike age and insured value
Engine capacity
Rider profile and claims history
Private or commercial usage
Selected coverage and policy excess

What to Check Before Buying Motorcycle Insurance

Review the type of coverage, policy excess, limits, exclusions and declared motorcycle usage before choosing a policy.

Any aftermarket modifications or accessories should be declared where requested, as acceptance and coverage may depend on underwriting approval.

Documents for Motorcycle Insurance

Depending on the motorcycle and quotation, you may need:

Emirates ID
Valid UAE motorcycle driving licence
Motorcycle registration details
Inspection documents where required
Previous insurance information where available
Additional documents where requested
