After my injury last week (knocked down by a drunken, unlicensed, uninsured Greek motorcyclist), I was today looking into whether my holiday insurance would pay out anything (it wouldn't, of course!!) and whilst at it, I looked at the exclusions and I would like to share this with you...
Look closely at the last three bullet points. Note that whatever you hire, you MUST have a UK licence for it, over 125cc bike MUST be your normal UK mode of travel, etc, etc. Particularly note the very last clause - Quads and all terrain vehicles are bluntly excluded.
This may not apply to you because this is my own particular policy, an annual family one, from my bank account, so do check your own. Mine's free. EXCEPT that because we're both over 70 and we both have pre-existing medical conditions (serves me right for saying I take Omeprazole, idiot!), it isn't free, it cost £184!!
EDIT TO ADD ... Now we are all excellent drivers and never have accidents, so we don't need insurance really, do we? Well, I wasn't driving, but if I had been, how excellent a driver would I need to be to avoid a drunk? Or a goat jumping out of the underbrush?
