Insurance:

New Zealand
Motorcycle insurance is inclusive, but there is an excess of NZ$1500 in case of an insurance claim. You will need to pay this excess before the tour starts and will get it back once the tour has finished. For $17 a day you can get another insurance that covers your excess rate as well as your personal liability (Third Party insurance).

Everybody who drives or rides a motor vehicle in New Zealand is covered in case of personal injury through the vehicle's registration. Third Party Insurance is not required by law in New Zealand. You can get a Third Party Insurance for NZ$17 per day at NZ Motorcycle Rentals.

If you have any more questions regarding insurance in New Zealand, please feel free to contact us.
