When it comes to comprehensive cover the insurers will cover all costs for both yourself and other people involved in the accident or incident if you are deemed to be at fault. You may find that as part of your insurance cover the first £200 of any claim you make is what you yourself will have to pay. But any costs after this amount has been deducted will then be paid by your insurer.

Plus will also pay out should your scooter catch fire or be stolen. Again you may find that you have an excess payment that you need to make on any claims and anything outstanding after you have paid this will then be paid by your insurers who provided your cheap scooter insurance.
