Optional Motorcycle Insurance Coverages in Idaho

While state-mandated coverage meets Idaho’s legal requirements, it may not cover every situation you could encounter on the road. Many riders opt to add extra protections to their Idaho motorcycle insurance to help safeguard against a broader range of risks. GEICO makes this easy by offering a wide range of optional add-ons that extend your coverage to better safeguard both you and your bike, such as:

  • Collision Coverage: Helps pay for repairs to your motorcycle if it’s damaged in an accident with another vehicle or object, regardless of fault.
  • Comprehensive Coverage: Protects against non-collision losses, such as theft, fire, vandalism, or storm damage.
  • Emergency Roadside Service Assists with towing, fuel delivery, or other roadside emergency needs.
  • Custom Parts or Equipment Coverage: Protects custom upgrades and aftermarket equipment on your bike up to $2,000.

How Much Does Motorcycle Insurance Cost in Idaho?

Motorcycle insurance rates in Idaho are generally lower than the national average, making coverage affordable for most riders. The cost of your Idaho motorcycle insurance depends on several factors, including your riding experience, the make and model of your motorcycle, and how frequently and where you ride. Coverage limits and optional add-ons can also affect your premium. Location also matters, as the risks you face in urban areas differ from those on rural or scenic Idaho roads.

Regardless of how these variables affect your rate, the most effective way to secure affordable motorcycle insurance is by taking advantage of the wide range of discounts available to riders.
