Compulsory third-party liability insurance
If you ride a motorcycle on public roads, by law, you must have third-party insurance.
This compulsory insurance policy covers the harm you cause to others with your motorcycle if you cause an accident, such as personal injury and damage to other vehicles or buildings.
Covered
- Harm you cause to others with your motorcycle, including material damage (bodywork, buildings, etc.) and bodily damage (i.e. deaths or injuries)
- If a vulnerable road user is injured in an accident involving your motorcycle, we'll pay compensation for those injuries even if you weren't at fault
Not covered
- Damage to your own motorcycle
- Bodily injury that you as the rider sustain in a traffic accident
- Damage caused whilst taking part in competitions
The complete list of exclusions can be found in the general conditions.
Optional: extend the cover on your KBC Vehicle Insurance for Motorcycles
If you're after more security, extend your third-party liability insurance cover by adding a number of options. You are not under any legal requirement to do so, but it could end up saving you a lot of money.
There's always the possibility that you'll end up in a dispute following an accident. Our legal assistance insurance team (Defendo) will be on hand to advise and help if you're
- Involved in an accident and in a dispute over who's at fault
- A victim of loss, damage or injury and the party responsible can’t or won’t compensate you for it
- Dissatisfied with repair work done to your motorcycle
- In a dispute over revocation of your driving licence
We always try for an out-of-court settlement. If that doesn't work, you can choose the lawyer you want to defend you in court. We will pay up to 100,000 euros to cover the costs of the court proceedings. And if the person who has to pay your loss doesn’t have the means to do so, we'll pay compensation of up to 12,500 euros.
Covered
- If someone else caused you harm, we'll help you claim damages
- Legal assistance for contract disputes, such as when buying your motorcycle or getting it repaired
