Mutual vs Insurance for motorcyclists: what’s the difference? #
It is common to confuse the terms “insurance” and “mutual”, especially when it comes to the protection of motorcyclists. However, these two concepts have significant differences that deserve to be clarified to make an informed choice.
Motorcycle insurance: a legal obligation #
Motorcycle insurance is a legal obligation in France. It covers the damage you could cause to others in an accident. Civil liability insurance, also called “third-party”, is the minimum required by law. It covers:
- Material damage caused to a third party
- Injuries inflicted on other people
However, this basic coverage does not protect your own motorcycle or your injuries in the event of a responsible accident. For more extensive protection, you can opt for more comprehensive insurance such as:
- All-risk insurance: covers damage to your motorcycle even if you are responsible for the accident.
- Intermediate insurance: includes additional guarantees such as theft, fire, or glass breakage.
Despite its name, la Mutuelle des Motards is indeed an insurance.
Mutual for motorcyclists: additional and collective protection #
Mutuals for motorcyclists are non-profit organizations that operate on the principle of solidarity among their members. Unlike commercial insurance companies, mutuals are managed by their members and aim primarily to meet the specific needs of their members rather than generating profits. The main differences include:
- Participatory management: Mutuals are run by their members, who participate in decisions during general assemblies.
- Non-profit: Financial surpluses are reinvested to improve the guarantees and services offered to members.
- Tailored offers: Mutuals often offer specific guarantees for motorcyclists, such as equipment coverage, legal protection, or specialized assistance services.
- Solidarity and mutual aid: Members benefit from a network of mutual aid and support, fostering a community spirit.
