With winter behind us, riders will be itching to put their quads through their paces again. But whether you use your off-roader for work or play, it’s important to find insurance that offers peace of mind protection at a price you can afford.

That may be harder than you initially imagined as only a select bunch of insurance providers offer quad bike cover, but you’ll find the specialist at Bikesure, right at the front of the queue.

Third-party insurance is a minimum legal requirement for driving on UK roads. You must also have a full UK driving licence and the quad will need a number plate, tax, and MOT.

There are also some safety precautions Bikesure advises quad bikers to adhere to:

> Wear a properly fitted helmet and protective clothing.
> Never carry passengers on a machine intended for single person use.
> Don’t carry heavy loads or exceed towing limits —it will destabilise your quad and make it more liable to roll
> Always ride at a safe speed
> Know where you are riding — the more challenging the terrain, the more likely the accident
> Keep the quad well maintained and follow the manufacturers’ recommendations

You may be tempted by a 750cc or even 1,000cc machine, however, quads with 450cc-500cc engines still have plenty of poke, but they often handle better and are far more cost-effective.

Quad owners can earn generous discounts on their insurance by keeping the machine garaged when not in use, fitting additional security measures and joining a motoring club or online forum. Bikesure will also take into account no claims discount built up on your day bike or car.

Bikesure offers a range of low-cost, high quality insurance covering leisure, sports, utility, ATV and buggy models. Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, insurance products can be customised to suit your needs - you choose the additional features which will benefit you most.

All policies offer £100,000 legal cover free of charge, but you can also choose cover for personal injury, breakdown (including homestart) and protective clothing and helmet as low-cost extra options.
