Everything You Need to Know About Motorcycle Insurance

Motorcycle insurance is a must-have for any rider, providing coverage for your bike, scooter, moped, all-terrain vehicle, or UTV if it is damaged or stolen. It also offers financial protection if you are responsible for someone else's injuries or damage while driving. Total loss coverage can help reduce the gap between the cost of a replacement motorcycle and the actual cash value (ACV) of your motorcycle. If you are new to owning a motorcycle, it is important to understand what insurance coverage you need to protect yourself, your bike and others on the road.

Motorcycle liability insurance pays for property damage that you cause to other people and your bodily injuries when you are at fault for an accident. For instance, Voom Insurance offers pay-per-mile motorcycle insurance, which sets your rate in part based on the number of miles you drive per month. Personal injury insurance can cover co-pays and deductibles, as well as lost wages if you miss work due to an injury suffered in a motorcycle accident. Some insurance companies do not cover off-road motorcycles because they are generally considered to be at greater risk of injury. Collision insurance pays for repairs if your motorcycle is damaged due to a collision with another object, such as a car, tree, or building.

The cost of your motorcycle insurance policy will vary depending on where you live, how old you are, the type of bike you ride, and other factors.

Full loss coverage

covers the replacement of your motorcycle with a newer model motorcycle if it is stolen or ruined due to a problem covered by the policy. Even if you do not drive on public roads, some states require liability insurance for off-road motorcycles, such as dirt bikes and motocross. Comprehensive insurance is beneficial because it covers a wide range of issues, such as motorcycle theft, vandalism, falling objects (such as a tree branch), fires, floods and hail. When shopping for motorcycle insurance, some of the most common pricing factors include your driving history (such as accidents, traffic violations and claims), the type of motorcycle you own, the way you use it, and the types of coverage you select.

Additionally, some insurers offer discounts for drivers and other ways to save money on your motorcycle policy. To get the best coverage for your bike, it's important to shop around and compare different policies from different insurers. Make sure to read through each policy carefully so that you understand what is covered and what isn't. You should also consider any additional riders or endorsements that may be available to further customize your policy. Finally, make sure that you are getting the best rate possible by taking advantage of any discounts that may be available.
