How Much Does Motorcycle Insurance Cost?
Motorcycle insurance rates in Utah have fluctuated in recent years due to rising claim costs, but current trends indicate a leveling out. Annual premiums typically range from $150 to $800, influenced by factors like vehicle type, coverage limits, and rider history.
Factors Affecting Your Rate:
- Type and age of motorcycle
- Level of liability and optional coverage
- Value of additional accessories
- Eligibility for discounts
- Location and storage method
- Driving and claims history
- Completion of rider safety training
Motorcycle vs. Car Insurance Costs
In general, motorcycle insurance is less expensive than car insurance. However, sportbikes usually cost more to insure than cruisers or scooters due to higher risk factors and repair costs.
Utah's Minimum Liability Insurance Requirements
State law mandates the following minimum liability coverage for motorcycles:
- $30,000 for bodily injury per person
- $65,000 for bodily injury per accident
- $25,000 for property damage
These minimums ensure financial protection for both the rider and others involved in an incident.
Coverage for Accessories
Many insurers automatically include $3,000 or more in accessory coverage, which can apply to helmets, riding gear, saddlebags, and other modifications. If your equipment exceeds this limit, your agent can help you customize the policy further.
Available Discounts
You may be eligible for several types of motorcycle insurance discounts, including:
- Multi-bike policies
- Bundling with homeowner's insurance
- Completion of approved rider safety courses (e.g., MSF)
- Membership in riding organizations like H.O.G.
- Safe rider and mature rider discounts
- Lay-up policies for winter months (common in northern Utah)
Discounts can reduce premiums by 10% to 20%, depending on provider and qualification.
How can I Keep the Price of My Motorcycle Insurance as Low as Possible?
To keep your costs down:
- Maintain a clean driving record
- Take a certified rider training course
- Store your bike securely (e.g., in a garage)
- Ask about organization or multi-policy discounts
- Choose a bike with a lower risk profile
- Consider a higher deductible if financially feasible
Why Do I Need Insurance for My Motorcycle?
Riding brings freedom, but it also carries risks. Motorcycle insurance protects you from the financial impact of:
- Accidents or theft
- Injuries to yourself or passengers
- Damage to property or others
- Legal claims against you
Having coverage ensures peace of mind while enjoying the open road, knowing your health, vehicle, and finances are protected.
Things to Ask Your Insurance Agent:
Your independent agent serves as your advisor. Before purchasing a policy, consider asking:
- What is the best coverage for my specific bike and lifestyle?
- How can I save money through discounts or programs?
- What are my coverage options for injuries, theft, and damage?
- Is the insurer reliable in handling and paying claims?
- What's the claims process like if I need to file?
Commercial Motorcycle Insurance
For those renting out motorcycles through platforms like Twisted Road, commercial motorcycle insurance provides essential liability protection. These policies typically cover a fleet rather than individual bikes and are triggered when the bike is in use by a renter. It ensures your motorcycle is protected while under someone else's care.
