Motorcycle Insurance
Motorcyclists are a special breed. The feeling of hopping on and catching the wind appeals to your unique sense of self-reliance and independence. We get it.
We share your love of cruising the open road and feeling the kind of freedom only a motorcycle can offer. Of course, not all riders are alike. That’s why we tailor the precise policy you need to protect yourself and whatever style of bike you ride. If you live in Washington, California, or Arizona, chances are we cover what you ride.
How We’re Different
There are as many kinds of motorcycles as there are riders. And as the popularity of motorcycling continues to grow, especially among women, more styles and sizes of bikes come onto the market each year. Whether you’re into cruisers, choppers, sport cycles, touring bikes, scooters, or dirt bikes FirstMark has the coverage you need to properly protect it. Enjoy the flexibility of choosing the best policy to fit your life by letting a knowledgeable agent work with you to find coverage to meet your needs.
What Your Motorcycle Policy Covers
Your mandatory motorcycle insurance requirements will depend on where you live. Of course, FirstMark policies are written to satisfy all state requirements, so talk with a an agent to learn about mandatory insurance levels in your area including:
Comprehensive
Comprehensive coverage helps pay for repairs or replacement if your motorcycle is stolen, vandalized, or damaged in some way other than a collision. This coverage also protects you against loss or damage from flooding, fire, falling objects, wind, and collision with an animal.
Collision
This coverage helps pay for repairs to your motorcycle for damage caused by an accident regardless of who is at fault. So, you’re covered if your bike is knocked over, hit, or collides with another object.
Medical Payments
No matter who is at fault, coverage is available to pay hospital bills and other medical care expenses for you and a guest passenger injured in an accident.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) Coverage
It’s a common misconception that your health insurance will always cover additional medical bills you may have because of an accident. Actually, that’s what UM/UIM coverage is for. It pays for the care you need that isn’t covered by your health insurance. This includes pain and suffering, scarring, permanent impairment, and other conditions.
And since motorcycle accidents can be severe, it’s important to be well protected. UM coverage can’t exceed bodily injury limits, so it’s best to select limits that are what you want for yourself for both bodily injury and uninsured motorist coverage. Some states require you to carry this coverage to help pay for expenses from an injury or death caused by an uninsured, underinsured, or hit-and-run driver, so check with an agent about requirements in your area. This coverage also protects you if you are hit by a vehicle as a pedestrian.
Roadside Assistance
Ride with confidence knowing help is on the way if you need it. Motorcycle roadside assistance includes towing to the nearest qualified repair shop, fuel and fluids delivery, basic emergency services, trip interruption benefits, and more.
Trip Interruption Coverage
Trip interruption benefits are automatically included with your coverage. This helps pay for food and lodging if you’re stranded far from home due to a breakdown.
Custom Parts and Equipment
Custom parts reflect who you are — and they’re an important part of what makes your bike distinctly yours. You also have the option to increase coverage up to $20,000 per bike. We will repair or replace your custom parts and equipment without adjustment for depreciation, which means your customizations are fully protected.
OEM Parts Coverage
If something happens to your bike, you want to be sure the repairs are done right. Optional motorcycle coverage is available to include use of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts during repairs. For more details, contact FirstMark.
New Harley-Davidson® Replacement Cost
We may be able to provide total loss coverage on a current model year Harley-Davidson if you are the original owner and purchased it within the last year. Otherwise, most of our policies offer ACV, like an auto policy.
Bodily Injury Liability
Guest Passenger Liability
Property Damage Liability
