Finding a Motorcycle Insurance Agency
Motorcycle riding and pursuing the motorcycle lifestyle is one of the most thrilling things life has to offer (well we might be a little biased). But it’s not all just fun and games. Safety and making sure you’re protected from start-to-finish of each ride is extremely important, and part of that protection is protection through a quality motorcycle insurance agency.
Bike insurance can vary in terms of necessary coverage, state laws, and price points depending on what you are going for. Often, this could take hours of time from your day researching the different options instead of actually getting out there on your motorcycle.
Luckily, we’ve created a handy guide to pricing options, how to get a quote, and what kind of state-specific coverage you should be looking at. Read more about how to get adequate peace of mind at the right price from a motorcycle insurance agency
Types of Motorcycle Insurance
All states require you to have some form of liability insurance as a motorcycle owner. However, the determination of what type can vary state-by-state, and there are lots of choices to navigate. The bare minimum for liability coverage will be about the same amount as car insurance minimums, but we recommend going well beyond that to take care of you and your assets. Here are some the three most common premium options:
- Comprehensive Coverage: This type of insurance policy will pay out if there is theft or non-collision damage to your motorcycle, including animal damage or vandalism. There is typically a deductible.
- Collision Coverage: This will deal with damages done while your motorcycle is in motion. When searching for the most cost-effective insurance, it is important to note not only the cost of the coverage, but the financial amount that will be covered when you make a claim as well.
- Personal Injury Protection: This coverage pays out the medical bills for you, your passengers, or anyone involved in an accident (even pedestrians). Some states do not allow motorcycle PIP insurance because of increased accident rates, but it is becoming more common.
- Underinsured or Uninsured Motorist Coverage: This option is common in order to protect your finances if you are in a collision with an at-fault driver who either does not have any insurance, or adequate insurance on their vehicle. Over 10 percent of all drivers in the United States are without insurance, so this can save you from having to foot the bill of an accident.
In addition to these types of static insurance, certain agencies have add-ons such as trip interruption coverage, custom parts coverage, roadside assistance. Whichever of these you choose, it is important to shop around for multiple quotes and consider which fits your bike, budget, and lifestyle best.
