Motorcycle Insurance

Why Should You Have Motorcycle Insurance?

Motorcycle insurance protects you from financial hardship resulting from accidents, theft, or liability claims—scenarios not covered by your auto or home policies. With specialized coverage tailored to riders, you’re covered whether your bike’s damaged, you’re injured, or someone else is affected.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What does motorcycle insurance cover?

 Common coverages include:

  • Liability (bodily injury & property damage): Covers damages and medical costs if you’re at fault.
     
  • Collision: Pays for damage to your bike in an accident, regardless of fault.
     
  • Comprehensive: Covers non-collision events like theft, vandalism, fire, or animal strikes.
     
  • Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM): Protects you if an at-fault rider lacks insurance or sufficient coverage.
     
  • Medical Payments (MedPay): Covers medical costs for you and passengers after an accident, regardless of fault.
     
  • Accessories & gear coverage: Optional coverage for custom parts, riding apparel, and accessories.

2. Is motorcycle insurance required by law?

 Yes. Most states require at least liability coverage to operate legally. The minimum requirements vary, but riding uninsured can result in fines, license suspension, or other penalties.  

3. How is motorcycle insurance different from auto insurance?

 Motorcycles inherently carry higher risk due to limited protection and visibility. Motorcycle policies often include options for apparel coverage, custom parts, and seasonal use—features not typical in auto policies. 

4. How much does motorcycle insurance cost?

 It varies based on your riding history, location, bike type, and the coverage you select. Completing a recognized safety course, bundling policies, and keeping a clean record can help lower premiums. 

5. Can I add optional coverages for more protection?

 Absolutely. Common add-ons include:

  • Roadside Assistance or Trip Interruption
     
  • Agreed Value / Total Loss Replacement
     
  • Helmet & Leather Gear Protection
     
  • Legal Expenses
  • Personal Injury / Disability Benefits


These extras give comprehensive peace of mind wherever you ride.

6. Does my coverage apply when the bike is in storage or not being ridden?

 Yes. Many plans allow you to suspend liability or collision during off-season storage while keeping comprehensive active—for higher savings when you're not on the road.
