What happens if the deadline for deregistering the motorbike insurance has passed?

If your contract expires and you have not cancelled your motorbike insurance, most people will return the receipt for the insurance through the bank. Legally it is not correct to return the receipt and the insurance company has the authority to reclaim the cost of the policy through legal proceedings. In the worst case, you could be placed on a list of debtors.

What is the time limit if I only want to change the type of motorbike insurance?

On other occasions it happens that we have a comprehensive insurance with excess and after some time we prefer to change it to a third party insurance with the same company. In this case, it is not necessary to give advance notice, it is sufficient to contact the insurer.

What happens if I don’t have the money to pay for my motorbike insurance and the bill is returned?

This is dangerous, especially if you continue to use the motorbike. It is also dangerous if the motorbike is parked outside the door.

As long as the motorbike is registered with the DGT, it is compulsory by law to have a valid insurance policy, at least third party insurance (civil liability).

What are the consequences of not having insurance for my motorbike?

It is estimated that around 300,000 motorbikes are not properly insured. It is compulsory to have liability insurance at least if you have a motorbike.

The first consequence is a fine. The penalty is between 601 and 3,005, depending on the damage caused and the time without insurance.

In addition, if it does not have a valid MOT, which is the usual case, a fine of 500 euros must be added. Removing it from the public road will have the cost of the tow truck and the deposit.

Hopefully the motorbike will not be involved in an accident as the culprit. In this case, the owner will have to pay for all the material and bodily damages caused.
