What does motorcycle insurance cover?
Motorcycle insurance covers damage to your motorcycle resulting from a covered incident if you carry comprehensive and collision coverages on your policy. While physical damage coverages are optional if you don't finance your bike, all motorcycle policies will include liability coverage, which kicks in if you're liable for another motorist's injuries or damages.
There are additional coverages that are optional and can be purchased for Motorcycles. Such as carried contents, custom parts and equipment, trailers etc.
Coverage can also be purchased for Off-Road Vehicles such as ATV's or UTV's.
What are the typical motorcycle insurance coverages?
Here are the standard motorcycle insurance coverages:
Liability - Liability coverage for motorcycles is mandatory in the state of Arizona and can pay for damages to other vehicles or objects, injuries to motorists, and lawsuits if you're liable due to a covered accident.
Comprehensive - Comprehensive coverage for motorcycles is typically required by your lender or leasing company if you're financing or leasing your bike and protects against events beyond your control, including theft, vandalism, windshield damage, fire, hitting an animal, and acts of nature. There is usually a deductible on comprehensive coverage.
Collision - Collision coverage for motorcycles is also usually required by your lender and can pay for damages resulting from a crash with another vehicle or object, regardless of who's at fault, and minus your policy's deductible.
Uninsured/underinsured Motorist - Uninsured motorist (UM) and underinsured motorist (UIM) covers your and your passengers' injuries, up to the limits of your policy, if you're hit by an uninsured or underinsured motorist.
Medical payments - This coverage pays for medical expenses for you and your passengers if you're in an accident, regardless of fault.
