Common Motorcycle Insurance Questions
How Does Motorcycle Insurance Work?
Motorcycles face the same accident and ownership liabilities as other vehicles. However, they often face them at a higher and costlier rate, by comparison. As two-wheeled vehicles that leave riders exposed to the elements, bikes pose safety risks to their riders that simply aren’t present for other drivers. Therefore, they need the benefits of quality insurance coverage all the more. Motorcycle coverage will provide those benefits in tailored ways that you cannot get from a standard auto policy.
What Does Motorcycle Insurance Cover?
Motorcycle insurance looks a lot like other motor vehicle insurance plans, and can offer such coverage as:
-
Liability Insurance: When an accident is deemed your fault, this coverage help you pay for the damage you do to others (such as other drivers) who weren’t on the bike with you.
-
Bodily Injury Liability Coverage: This plan pays for third-party medical bills and sometimes for death benefits.
-
Property Damage Liability Coverage: This pays for damage to the other party’s property.
-
Collision Insurance: This covers damage to your own bike that you sustained in a wreck.
-
Comprehensive Insurance: This coverage pays for bike damage from non-accident mishaps— such as weather damage, fires, theft, vandalism or similar accidents.
-
Medical Payments Coverage/Personal Injury Protection:If you get hurt in an accident, this coverage can pay for your medical bills. It sometimes will cover other losses like lost income.
-
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Insurance: This insures you against damage caused by someone else who doesn’t have appropriate liability coverage. If you are the victim of a hit-and-run, for example, then this coverage can pay for your damage.
Further benefits that you can use to enhance your protection include:
Please note, you cannot insure a motorcycle using a standard auto insurance plan.

How Much Motorcycle Insurance Do I Need?
Your bike’s value and your ability to pay for accident damage is unique to you. Therefore, the amount of motorcycle insurance you need will have to be customized. Keep a few things in mind:
-
Your plan will include a physical damage deductible, which is a cost of a damage claim that you must pay yourself. Always choose a deductible that equals a cost you can afford out of pocket.
-
Carrying increased liability coverage limits can help you get more assistance in case of at-fault accident claims or lawsuits.
