FAQS
Can I insure my scooter as a food delivery driver?
Yes, provided that ‘business use’ and ‘food delivery’ are selected as the main use for the scooter, not ‘private use.’ Food delivery insurance for riders is very important, given the number of kilometres that many riders do each day. Business use is not covered in NSW. If you are unsure which usage applies to your bike, please call us on 13RIDE (13 74 33)
Do I need to be listed as the rider in order to be covered?
No. While fast food delivery companies often require that riders’ names are listed on an insurance policy in Australia, Swann motor scooter insurance doesn’t require you to list them, as all riders of a scooter are automatically covered, provided they are legally allowed to ride a scooter. Additional excesses may apply depending on the individual rider, their age and riding/driving history.
Does Swann scooter insurance cover hiring out of motor scooters?
No. Scooters that are hired aren’t covered by Swann motor scooter insurance in Australia. This includes hired scooter for tour groups, self-guided tours, or riders who hire a bike for use as a delivery rider.
What are the different types of Insurance Cover?
- Comprehensive insurance will cover your scooter if it is accidentally damaged, stolen or burnt anywhere in Australia. Comprehensive Insurance will also cover you for your liability to pay compensation for loss or damage to someone else’s property as a result of an accident anywhere in Australia.
- Third Party Liability Insurance will cover you for your liability to pay compensation for loss or damage to someone else’s property as a result of an accident anywhere in Australia.

How much will my scooter be insured for?
Swann Insurance offers both Agreed value and Market value options on our Comprehensive cover giving you flexible options to choose from, at new business and renewal.
Market Value is the pre-accident value of your scooter. We will determine this at the time we assess your claim, having regard to the age and condition of your scooter and the kilometres it has travelled.
Agreed Value is the fixed amount we agree to cover your scooter for in the current period of insurance.

We offer a number of discounts that may be available to you:
- Rider Training Discount If you have completed an advanced accredited rider training course

*Rider Training, Security Device & Named Rider Discounts apply to Comprehensive Cover Only
Can anyone ride my scooter and still be covered?
Yes, we don’t ask you to list additional riders on your policy. The policy will cover other riders provided you have given them permission and they are legally allowed to ride your scooter. Additional excesses may apply depending on the individual rider, their age and riding/driving history. Please note cover excludes theft whilst being tested by a prospective purchaser.
