Frequently asked questions about motorcycle insurance
The average cost of motorcycle insurance is $33 per month, or $399 per year, for full coverage. Three main factors affect rates: where you live, the amount of coverage you need and your riding history.
The cheapest motorcycle insurance companies are typically Dairyland, Progressive and Harley-Davidson.
However, rates vary by state. So the cheapest company near you could differ from the best option nationally. That's why comparing quotes from multiple companies is important when shopping for motorcycle insurance.
No single motorcycle insurance company is best for every rider. Major companies like Progressive and Geico offer standard motorcycle insurance, with discounts for bundling your auto and homeowners insurance. On the other hand, specialty companies like Dairyland and Harley-Davidson provide more extensive coverage to dedicated riders.
The best way to find cheap motorcycle insurance is by comparing quotes from multiple companies. You should also look for discounts. Many companies offer savings for bundling your motorcycle and auto insurance, making automatic payments or taking a motorcycle safety course.
You can get the cheapest motorcycle insurance rates by buying the minimum coverage required in your state. Most states only require a small amount of liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage. However, you won't have any coverage for your bike if you cause a crash. This may not be the best choice if you can't afford to replace your bike after an accident.
Every state has its own laws, but it's generally harder to insure your bike if you don't have a valid motorcycle license or endorsement. Most insurance companies require your license info. Companies that don't may treat you as a riskier customer and charge you more for coverage.
