Top tips for reducing your premiums
As a young, less experienced rider your insurance could cost you considerably more and while this may be extremely frustrating there are ways that could help to reduce your premium in the long-term.
First step, choose a bike with a smaller/less powerful engine. Consider taking additional training such as the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) advanced test, this not only will this help to enhance your skills but make you a safer biker.
It goes without saying a clean driving record will benefit you later on, particularly when it comes to renewing your policy. The same rule applies to looking after your bike. If you keep it in a garage and use fitted insurance approved security locks, then not only will it deter any potential thieves and help reduce the likelihood of it getting damaged but it could also help to reduce your premium.
