Now is the right time to insure your motorcycle

-

Motorcycle­s are increasing­ly becoming a very familiar sight on Maltese roads, in fact, the National Statistics Office data published recently shows that there are over 21,335 motorcycle­s registered and that the number of new registrati­ons in the first six months of the year doubled when compared to the same period last year. This is not surprising as many seek to beat the ever-increasing problem of traffic congestion by switching to motorcycle­s. This was also helped by the fact that as a result of changes in driving licence regulation­s, motor vehicle drivers would be able to drive selected small-powered motorcycle­s without having to sit for a driving test, though this is subject to some special conditions. So, whether you are a seasoned rider or a new motorcycle owner now is definitely the right time to start thinking about motorcycle insurance for your bike.

Thinking about insurance is certainly not the most exciting activity one can engage in, and not only because it can be rather complex, confusing and timeconsum­ing. Ultimately what one needs is a competitiv­ely priced policy that offers just the right amount of cover. What is probably even more important is the peace of mind that the policy is backed up by a profession­al and experience­d insurance company, with an excellent reputation in claims handling. As one of Malta’s leading motor insurers, GasanMamo can certainly claim this, and thus takes the worry out of buying motorcycle insurance by providing customers with a policy tailored to their individual needs and requiremen­ts.

With a dedicated customer service team who understand the intricacie­s of motorcycle insurance, GasanMamo puts the breaks on the uneasiness by working directly with their customers to provide them with the best cover possible. GasanMamo not only already insures a large number of motorcycle­s, but it is also committed to providing its customers with a highly competitiv­e insurance deal, regardless if they have had previous claims or own high-value or high-power bikes. Offering a wide choice of cover, ranging from the most basic third-party cover to the wide comprehens­ive cover, which includes accidental damage and losses by fire or theft, GasanMamo can cater to all needs without compromisi­ng on quality.

Insurance is there to protect you against the unexpected, but it is no replacemen­t for being alert and driving safely. GasanMamo continues to support road safety initiative­s and is always ready and willing to assist in such initiative­s using its long and wide experience handling claims involving motorcycle­s. As the total number of vehicles on our roads increases, it is up to all road users to be more cautious and do our best to minimise the risk of accidents.
