Ohio has made an industry out of providing a great experience for motorcycle riders. Its terrain helps, offering nearly every type of road, sublime landscapes, and plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun.
No matter where you end up exploring in Ohio, every ride should start with motorcycle insurance. Whether you're getting on the road to do some camping, to conquer the Triple Nickel (OH 555), or to take in some incredible vistas, you're going to need coverage to explore the Buckeye State.
To operate a motorcycle on public roads in Ohio, you must have a valid operator's license. The Ohio Department of Public Safety states that a motorcyclist must have one of the following:
In addition to a motorcycle license or endorsement, here’s what’s required for you and your bike to be considered street legal when riding:
According to Ohio motorcycle law, you must wear a helmet if you’re under the age of 18 or if you’ve had your motorcycle license or motorcycle endorsement for less than one year. If you’re required to wear a helmet, so are your passengers.
There are more than 34,000 registered motorcycles in Ohio, and each one is required to carry minimum liability insurance. The insurance coverage minimums for Ohio are:
While these minimums are relatively average compared to other states across the U.S., some motorcycle operators choose to carry higher limits on their motorcycle insurance coverage to provide adequate protection for themselves and their bikes.
We're happy to help you determine what full coverage best fits you and your ride. We cover many different types of motorcycles, from manufacturers such as Harley-Davidson®, Honda®, and Indian®, to models ranging from cruisers and touring to sport bikes. If you’ve added your personal touches with optional equipment, we can insure those pieces, too.
In addition to the liability coverage limits required in Ohio, Dairyland® provides various forms of additional motorcycle insurance coverage to help protect you and your bike:
With more than 13 percent of Ohio motorists hitting the road uninsured on any given day, we recommend this optional coverage. Underinsured coverage protects you in the event you have an incident with an at-fault driver whose insurance isn’t enough cover the costs.
Should you be involved in an accident, collision coverage helps pay for damages to your bike, minus your deductible. Bear in mind, this coverage is limited to the actual cash value of your motorcycle at the time of the incident, up to $60,000.
If your bike is damaged due to fire, wind, water, theft, or vandalism, comprehensive policy coverage will help protect your ride up to $60,000.
Optional/special equipment motorcycle insurance coverage helps protects your ride against damage or loss of permanent equipment that isn’t factory standard.
