After buying a motorcycle insurance policy, you must submit proof of insurance to the MVA.
The mandatory Maryland insurance requirements may not offer enough coverage following a major accident, or in the event of other, more specific losses. That’s why we offer several optional insurance coverages, including:
This coverage insures upgrades you make to your bike, including specialized or optional equipment.
If you experience a mechanical breakdown or other mid-ride emergency, roadside assistance can provide towing and other services.
Comprehensive insurance covers repairs if your motorcycle is stolen, vandalized, or damaged in a collision with an animal. Collision coverage helps pay for repairs if you hit a stationary object, or even if it tips over and is damaged.
If you or your passenger is injured in an accident, this insurance helps cover the medical expenses for both.
