first time insurance for scooter/moped

hi there, my brother will be celebrating his 18th bday shortly, and the rest of us family members were considering chipping in to buy him a moped. Thing is, I can't get any quotes online for him - it seems to be the same old story for moped insurance as it is for motor insurance - nobody wants to insure an 18 yr old youth.…

hi there,
my brother will be celebrating his 18th bday shortly, and the rest of us family members were considering chipping in to buy him a moped.
Thing is, I can't get any quotes online for him - it seems to be the same old story for moped insurance as it is for motor insurance - nobody wants to insure an 18 yr old youth.

So we are considering scrapping the idea altogether, but I was wondering if anyone knows of an insurance company that might offer a quote?

thanks for your help

try hibernian & talk to the bike shop regarding getting a quote from Aon. Those are your two best (only) bets.

^^^ Thats probably you're best bet. I was 17 getting insured on my moped the first time (back in 2003) and Aon only charged my €895, which is pretty reasonable. Insurance rates have gone up in the last 2 years though
