Coverage for your bike when hitting the open road.

If you ride a motorcycle, then you need motorcycle insurance in Illinois. Many motorcycle drivers mistakenly believe that their general auto insurance policy will cover them if they are in a motorcycle accident. This is not the case! In fact, auto insurance policies specifically exclude motorcycle coverage.
Why? The most common reason is because motorcycle drivers have a higher risk of injury. Motorcycle insurance works similarly to auto insurance, but offers specialized coverage for your bike.
Why do you need motorcycle insurance in Illinois?
State law requires that you have motorcycle insurance. And for good reason! Did you know that fatal accidents are 30 times more common in motorcycle accidents than car accidents? This is because motorcycle drivers face much higher risks than car drivers including:
- Less preventative safety features: Many cars have advanced safety features like collision warning systems, cameras, and pedestrian detection software to prevent accidents. Motorcycles do not.
- Less physical protection: Cars have seat belts and airbags that can safeguard drivers from sustaining serious injuries in the event of a crash. However, motorcycle drivers only have helmets and protective riding suits. While these are still safety features, they are arguably less effective.
- No physical barrier: Car drivers are encased in a metal cage that acts as a barrier between themselves and other vehicles. Motorcyclists are exposed, which means that accidents are more likely to cause serious injuries.
What does motorcycle insurance cover?
As with general auto insurance, the minimum coverage required for motorcycle insurance in Illinois is liability. This includes bodily injury and property damage coverage, which cover medical and legal fees for a third party if you were to get into an accident. However, liability coverage does not typically cover you- the driver.
If you want more coverage in your motorcycle insurance policy, there are several options to choose from such as:
- Motorcycle collision insurance
- Comprehensive motorcycle coverage
- Personal injury protection
- Medical payments coverage
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage
- Rental reimbursement coverage
