What Else Can Utah Motorcycle Insurance Cover?

In addition to the mandatory liability coverage mentioned above, most insurance companies will offer a menu of optional coverage choices, such as the following:

• Full coverage: This can provide compensation if your motorcycle is lost, damaged, or totaled. It may be required by your lender if you are still paying for your bike. Full coverage includes:
  • Collision coverage: This can cover the cost to repair or replace your motorcycle if it is damaged in a collision, regardless of fault. 
  • Comprehensive coverage: This can cover the cost to repair or replace your motorcycle if it is damaged in a non-collision event like a windstorm or flood.
• Custom parts and equipment coverage: This increases the assessed value of your bike by including the value of any customized accessories or equipment you have added to it. If your bike is totaled in a covered event, you can be compensated for the extra money you have put into it.
• Medical payments coverage: This can pay a portion of your medical bills if you or your passenger require medical treatments after being injured in an accident, regardless of fault.
• Uninsured motorist coverage: This can cover damage to your bike as well as the cost of treating your injuries if you are hit by an uninsured driver while on your motorcycle. This saves you from the need for you to go through lengthy legal channels to get the compensation owed to you.
• Gap insurance: This can bridge the gap between what your bike is worth and what you still owe for it if it is totaled in a covered event. This can be beneficial during the first year or two of new bike ownership.
• Towing and roadside assistance coverage: This can cover the cost of necessary assistance if your motorcycle becomes inoperable while you are out on the road.

Be sure to review the details and costs of each of your various options. That way, you can make an informed decision about which are a good fit for you.
