Motorcycle Insurance: Four Different Types of Coverage:

By Trent Mead

There are lots of different types of coverage insurance for motorcycles available for motorcycle riders and owners. The four main kinds of coverage are what we will be focusing on in this article. These four main types of insurance are: under insured coverage, uninsured coverage, motorcycle collision coverage and bodily injury liability coverage.

1. Under Insured Motorcycle Insurance Coverage:

Under insured motorcycle insurance coverage will pay for your expenses if the other rider party is at fault and the other party does not have sufficient insurance to cover the costs of the claim.

A good suggestion is to carry 100/300. This means that you will have up to $100,000 per person and up to $300,000 per accident.

2. Insurance Coverage To Cover The Uninsured Riders:

Having to cover the expenses of a completely uninsured rider is even worse than having to do so for an under insured rider. At least the under insured person did had some insurance. In the case of the uninsured, this person who caused the wreck had no insurance at all and most likely they have nothing that would make then a viable target for legal action.

It is for this reason exactly that each and every motorcycle owner should carry adequate uninsured coverage. Be careful though, many companies have different types of coverage for uninsured coverage so make sure that you know exactly what your provider covers.

3. Bodily Injury Insurance Coverage:

This kind of insurance is usually required by most state governments. Bodily insurance is the insurance that pays for damages to others when the accident is your fault and it covers property damage as well as bodily damage. We recommend that you carry as much bodily injury insurance as you feel comfortable paying for.

This type of insurance is organized in a 15/30/10 manner. This means that $15,000 can be paid out per person with not more than $30,000 per accident; the final number is the amount of property damage that will be paid out. In this case it is $10,000.

4. Motorcycle Collision Coverage:

Collision coverage is the type of insurance that pays for the cost of replacing your bike in the event that it is stolen, or repairing your motorcycle in the event of a crash. Most insurance providers do not care who is at fault in the situation.

To collect on a claim for collision coverage it is necessary first for you to pay the deductible on your coverage. The higher your deductible is the lower will be your monthly payments and the lower your deductible the higher your monthly payments so choose your deductible carefully.

Conclusion:

With this knowledge, we recommend that you take your time when looking for an insurance provider. Always use a reputable company that has been around for a while and has good customer feedback. Pricing companies is simple, just call them up and keep a list of what the different companies charge for similar types of coverage.
