Vespa Scooter Insurance

The iconic Vespa should need no introduction, surely? Starting out with a single model of motor scooter in 1946, the Vespa now comes in many shapes and sizes, all built around that classic design. The flat footplate and fully enclosed body are instantly recognisable and make the Vespa a truly functional machine.

Favoured almost exclusively by scooter riders in Italy but popular with enthusiasts the world over – particularly the mods who made them notorious in the UK – the Vespa is famously stylish and versatile. Race versions have also picked up a few titles over the years too.

What are the various types of scooter insurance?

When you’re considering cover for your Vespa, it’s important to select a policy that works for you. There are three types of scooter insurance to pick from:

• Third party: covers damage to a third party’s vehicle or property only
• Third party, fire, and theft: covers your scooter if it’s stolen or fire damaged
• Comprehensive: Includes all of the above whilst also insuring you for any accidental damage to your own scooter

What won’t scooter insurance through Carole Nash cover?

Any injury, loss, damage, or accident would not be covered if:

• Your Vespa is being ridden by someone without a licence
• Your scooter is in the possession of someone who isn’t insured to ride it
• Your bike is carrying goods or pillions in a way that compromises how safe it is to ride

It’s your responsibility to check for exclusions. These are just a few examples, and you should check your policy wording for more details.
