Reader’s Question:

States have different laws on whether or not insurance is needed, and if so, how much is required for motorcycles and off-road vehicles. It is still a good idea to have at least some kind of insurance even if you’re not required to. You can easily find information online regarding motorcycle and off-road vehicle insurance requirements by state, including other requirements, such as helmet use and eye protection.

What affects the premium rates for motorcycles and off-road vehicles? Like car insurance, insurance companies consider various factors to determine what your premium will be– including the type of bike you have (Harley vs. Vespa), your driving record, how much you drive the vehicle (to work every day or only in the summertime), your age (if you’re under 25 – expect to pay dearly), whether or not the vehicle is kept in a secure location, the mileage you drive in a year, and any training you may have had (most states have a DMV motorcycle program that, if successfully completed, will save you money on your insurance).
As a consumer you can shop around and compare rates by different insurance companies in Montgomery Alabama in order to get the best deal available in the market.
