Coverage | Description | Example | Included automatically? | Do I need it? |
---|---|---|---|---|
If you cause an accident, this coverage pays for the other driver’s medical bills | You run a red light and collide with another rider, who suffers a concussion and other injuries. State Farm will cover their medical bills, but only up to your policy’s BIL limit. | No | Look into your state’s laws—most states require BIL by law. | |
Covers repairs to other riders’ bikes if you cause an accident | You are distracted and accidentally crash into another rider, damaging their motorcycle. State Farm will pay for the other rider’s bike repairs, up to your policy’s limit. | No | Check your state’s laws—but it is good coverage to have for any motorcycle rider. | |
Comprehensive coverage | Covers the repair or replacement cost of your motorcycle if it’s damaged by fire, vandalism, or stolen, or if it's damaged due to a collision with an animal. | You slam into a moose on the highway and your bike is a total loss. State Farm covers the actual cash value of the motorcycle, minus any deductible, if you have one. | No | Not required by law, but a good idea unless your bike isn’t worth very much or is very old. |
Collision coverage | Pays to repair or replace your motorcycle if it’s damaged in an accident. | You collide with the highway guardrail and seriously damage your handlebars. State Farm pays for the repairs. | No | Not required by law, but worth it unless your bike isn’t worth much, or is very old. |
Pays for medical bills, lost earnings, and motorcycle repairs if you’re hit by a driver who does not have insurance. | You’re hit by a car, but the driver is uninsured. Unless they pay to cover your damages themselves, State Farm covers your damages up to your policy’s limits. | No | Look into your state’s laws—UIM is required by law in some states, while it is optional in others. | |
Accessories and custom parts/equipment | Pays for the replacement of custom parts and accessories in collision and comprehensive claims, so long as those parts are documented by State Farm under your policy. | Your custom wheels you just installed get destroyed, and your new helmet damaged, in a highway crash. State Farm will pay to replace the custom parts and equipment, minus any deductible. | Up to $3,000 automatically included when you add collision and comprehensive to your policy. | If you like adding custom gear to your motorcycle, you should consider it. |
Roadside assistance and trip interruption | Includes services such as towing as and delivery of fuel, oil, tires, or a battery, as well as one hour of labor at the spot of your breakdown. | You’re on a weekend trip to the Poconos when your motorcycle peters out. State Farm will pay for the tow of your bike to a repair shop nearby. The insurer will also pay for lodging, transport, and food if your breakdown is more than 50 miles from your home, and your bike is inoperable. | No | If you’re an avid road-tripper, roadside assistance is a great thing to have. |
