Delaware motorcycle insurance

Plan your Delaware motorcycle trip ahead of time—being sure to keep motorcycle insurance as a top priority, along with learning the state’s rules of the road.

What’s required of all motorcycle riders in Delaware?

Each state establishes its own laws and guidelines for residents operating motorcycles within the state. In Delaware, you’ll need to:

  • Register your motorcycle

  • Wear a helmet and eye protection approved by the Delaware Secretary of Safety

  • Hold a motorcycle endorsement on your driver’s license

If you’re younger than 18 years old and can’t get a motorcycle license endorsement yet, you can earn a student completion card by passing a state-approved motorcycle rider training course.

If you live in another state and plan to ride in Delaware, we have good news—Delaware accepts motorcycle endorsement and rider completion cards from other states.

Are optional motorcycle insurance coverages available in Delaware?

The minimum motorcycle insurance requirements will keep you compliant with Delaware law, but they may fall short of meeting your expenses if you’re involved in an accident. To help reduce that risk, consider purchasing additional optional insurance coverages, such as:

Collision

If you’re involved in an accident—whether with another vehicle or a stationary object—collision coverage can help cover the costs of the resulting damage to the insured vehicle. 

Comprehensive

This optional coverage helps cover damages to your motorcycle not related to an accident—for example, fire, severe weather, flooding, and even vandalism and theft.

Uninsured motorist

If your motorcycle is damaged by an at-fault motorist who doesn’t have insurance, you could be forced to pay for repairs and other expenses out of pocket. This coverage can help reduce those costs.

Underinsured motorist

Similar to uninsured motorist coverage, this optional insurance can help pay for expenses following an accident with an at-fault motorist who doesn’t have sufficient insurance to cover your expenses.
