Comprehensive Motorcycle Insurance

We know you depend on your bike for a lot. That’s why comprehensive motorcycle coverage is so important. Comprehensive motorcycle insurance is additional insurance that helps cover the cost to repair or replace your motorcycle if your bike is damaged in an accident — one that doesn’t involve another vehicle or motorcycle.

Take a look at all the great ways this key insurance protects you and your bike wherever you go.

What Types of Events Are Covered With Comprehensive Bike Insurance?

Comprehensive insurance isn’t typically mandatory, but if you have a lease or loan on your bike, your lender will probably require it. While collision insurance is designed to protect your bike after accidents involving other vehicles or objects, comprehensive coverage provides protection for instances where another vehicle isn’t involved.
Events that are typically covered with Comprehensive Motorcycle Insurance include:

• Theft
• Vandalism
• Some falling objects
• Floods
• Collisions with animals
• Fires and explosions
• Hail
• Natural disasters

How Much Does Comprehensive Bike Coverage Cost?

Like collision coverage, your premium depends on the deductible you choose. Because your deductible is the amount of money you’ll be responsible to pay out of pocket, you get to select the deductible that fits your budget best. Most deductibles range between $100 - $1,000.

Why Do I Need Comprehensive Coverage If My Motorcycle’s Paid Off?

When the unexpected happens, you shouldn’t be out the cost to pay for damages or to replace your motorcycle outright if it’s totaled. And just because your bike’s paid off, there’s no reason to lose this important protection. Comprehensive coverage gives you that extra piece of mind even after your loan is paid off.

Is My Custom Bike Covered by Comprehensive Insurance?

Our comprehensive coverage covers your cycle up to $3,000, and there are higher limits available above that, too. High-end customizations and tricked-out custom parts are often covered under separate, custom policies. Contact your agent for details on accessory coverage options for your specialized ride.

If My Bike Breaks Down on the Road, Will I Be Covered by Comprehensive Insurance?

While comprehensive insurance doesn’t cover breakdowns, we do offer motorcycle emergency roadside assistance coverage. This optional coverage offers:

• Flat tire repair
• Motorcycle towing services
• Battery failure
• Gasoline and oil deliver*
• Locksmith services**

Property damage and bodily injury liability insurance

Motorcycle collision coverage

If you get into an accident with another vehicle or object, collision insurance protects you whether you’re at fault or not.

With our uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage for motorcycles, you’ll be protected if an at-fault driver can’t or won’t pay for damages.
