What does motorcycle insurance cover?
Motorcycle insurance was designed to protect your bike…and you.
A standard motorcycle policy will typically cover:
- Bodily injury liability coverage – Covers medical expenses and lost wages for the other drivers if you’re at fault during an accident and an injury or death occurs. Some states also extend this coverage to passengers.
- Property damage liability coverage – Helps cover the cost of repairs or replacements if you’re at fault for damage to another person's property.
Many riders choose to add coverage that will boost protection for themselves, their bikes and their passengers. These coverages may include:
- Collision coverage – If you collide with another object, like a car, motorcycle, tree or building, any damage to your motorcycle is covered.
- Comprehensive coverage – Covers damages to your motorcycle not caused by a crash with another vehicle or other object, like flooding, wind, vandalism and theft.
- Rental reimbursement coverage – Helps cover the cost of a rental if your bike is stolen or being repaired in a shop due to a covered loss.
- Optional or added equipment coverage – Allstate policies automatically come with $1,000 worth of coverage on upgrades or added equipment. A higher limit option is available up to $30,000 that includes additional enhancements or equipment made to your motorcycle.

Motorcycle insurance FAQs
Most states require motorcyclists to carry liability insurance. Each state sets minimum liability limits that drivers must purchase.
Other coverages — such as comprehensive coverage or collision coverage — may be optional if you own your bike outright. If you lease or finance your motorcycle, your lender may require you to purchase collision coverage and comprehensive coverage until your bike is paid off.
Comprehensive coverage covers damages to your motorcycle not caused by a crash with another vehicle, which includes theft. You're typically covered up to the actual cash value of your bike.
In most states, passengers riding your motorcycle are covered on your policy. However, since this coverage isn’t nationwide, it's best to talk with your Allstate agent to see which applies to you.
There are several factors that determine the cost of a motorcycle policy. These include your age, the type of bike you ride and the types of coverages you select. If you’re concerned about pricing, there are a number of ways to save on your premiums. You may receive a break for insuring multiple bikes or bundling your motorcycle policy with other Allstate policies.
If you selected rental reimbursement or transportation expense as a coverage option, Allstate will help reimburse you for expenses such as a car or cycle rental after a covered claim, up to the amount shown on your policy declarations. See your policy for a complete description of terms and limitations.
