Motorcycle insurance is required by law in Illinois. To legally drive your bike, you must carry insurance that meets the state's minimum coverage limits. You'll also need to show proof of insurance when registering your motorcycle or renewing your plates. Riding without valid insurance can result in severe penalties, including fines, license suspension, and the potential revocation of your registration.
Below are the state-mandated minimums for motorcycle insurance in Illinois.
| Coverage Type | What It Covers | Illinois Minimum Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Bodily Injury Liability | Injuries you cause to others in an accident | $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident |
| Property Damage Liability | Property damage you cause in an accident | $20,000 per accident |
| Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist | Injuries to you and your passengers if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured | $25,000 per person |
In addition to the required coverages, GEICO offers a range of optional coverages to help protect your motorcycle and everything that comes with it. These add-ons can offer extra peace of mind on the road and better protection for your investment.
The cost of Illinois motorcycle insurance varies based on several personal and vehicle-related factors. Things like your driving record and how long you've been riding all play a role. The type of bike you own—such as a cruiser, touring bike, or sport bike—can also influence your premium.
