    Scooter travel insurance

    Travel insurance when riding a Scooter and/or a Moped

    Scooters are a great way to travel around when you are overseas. They are the perfect way to beat urban congestion, and a fun way to ride. Scooters are not as intimidating or as dangerous as motorbikes, and because of that a lot of people are choosing them as their preferred method of overseas transport.

    The rules for scooter travel insurance are the same as the rules for motorcycle travel insurance. It does not matter if you are in Italy or Vietnam, the same rules apply for international scooter travel insurance.  

    Travel insurance when riding a scooter - policy information  

    You may need to check the motorcycle travel insurance page for details about whether or not your insurance may cover you for your scooter riding. To ride a motorcycle, you must have an unrestricted Australian motorcycle license and licence in the country that you are travelling to. If you ride a scooter uninsured, you will not receive medical coverage. 

     

    Scooter Hazards when riding a Scooter or Moped

    Every year people fall off their scooters in foreign countries around the world and have horrific injuries. Just because you are overseas does not mean the laws of the world suddenly go out the window, you are just as likely to get injured in a foreign country as you are at home, it is just in a foreign country you do not have your public health system to take care of you.
     
    If you are planning on travelling, an international travel insurance may be a necessity, and in some cases, particular countries are making it a compulsory requirement. 
     

    Safety when riding a Scooter or Moped

     
    When you ride your motor scooter, you will always need to wear a helmet. You should never ride the scooter while intoxicated.

While riding a scooter overseas it may be smart to wear protective clothing i.e. long sleeves and leathers.
