GeoffH Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) I am not sure exactly how it was done (the dealer arranged it) but SWMBO bought and registered her Yamaha Mio with just her student driver permit. The student permit has no test she just goes to the LTO with ID and pesos. Later it can be changed to a non-professional license if wanted.

This can vary depending on where one lives. Why would you want insurance on a scooter...total waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

virginprune Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 We bought and registered a Mio Aerox in my parner's name, she does not drive. I am the principal driver. It came with one year registration and one year 3rd party insurance and a helmet. Supposed to have a jacket too but 'out of stock sir' I bought from a dealership and found them very helpful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only need for driving. If you buy new, the dealership will take care of the registration and insurance at the point of sale. They include the insurance in the sale price. At least that was my experience at the yamaha dealer in Kawit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
