Motorcycle Insurance
Let me tell you what happened to Jesse. He loved his motorcycle — a blacked-out cruiser he spent months restoring. On weekends, he’d ride from Vista to Julian, cruising through backroads with the wind in his face and the engine rumbling beneath him. His pride and joy.
One Monday morning, Jesse opened his garage… and the bike was gone. No signs of forced entry. No noise the night before. Just an empty spot and a sinking feeling in his gut.
He filed a police report, then called his insurance company. That’s when the second shock hit: his motorcycle wasn’t properly insured for theft. The liability coverage required to ride legally in California? ✅ He had that. But comprehensive coverage for theft and vandalism? ❌ Not included. He never added it to save a few bucks.
The result? No payout. No replacement. No help.
Motorcycle insurance can be tailored to fit your riding habits and lifestyle. Coverage options include:
Unlike a car, your motorcycle is more than just a vehicle. It’s a lifestyle. And it's far more vulnerable to theft, weather exposure, and uninsured drivers.
Even if your bike is parked in a garage, motorcycle theft in California is on the rise. A standalone motorcycle policy with the right coverages gives you peace of mind every time you turn the key — or walk out to check it’s still there.
Motorcycle insurance isn’t just about legal compliance. It’s about protecting the investment, memories, and freedom your bike gives you. Whether you ride a cruiser, sport bike, touring rig, or weekend track weapon — let’s make sure it’s protected the right way.
We help riders all over San Diego County — from Oceanside to Escondido — find affordable, custom-fit policies that actually cover what matters.
Absolutely. Whether you're a daily commuter or a weekend rider cruising through Rancho Santa Fe or up the 101 through Encinitas, insurance protects you from unexpected losses. One bad turn, theft in your garage, or an uninsured driver on the road—and you could be out thousands. Motorcycle insurance gives you peace of mind every time you ride.
California law requires you to carry liability insurance to ride legally. This covers damage or injuries you cause to others. But that’s just the beginning. If your bike is stolen (yes, even in gated communities like La Jolla), vandalized, or damaged in an accident, liability-only policies won’t help you. For full protection, you’ll want to add comprehensive and collision coverage.
A full-coverage motorcycle policy typically includes:
✅ Liability (required by law)
✅ Collision (covers damage to your own bike)
✅ Comprehensive (theft, fire, weather, vandalism)
✅ Uninsured/underinsured motorist (very common in SoCal)
✅ Custom parts, gear, and accessories (helmets, jackets, tech upgrades)
This is especially important in areas like Del Mar or La Costa, where custom bikes and upgraded gear are common.
The price depends on your riding history, bike type, location, and coverage levels. On average, riders in North County—from Oceanside to Poway—pay anywhere from $20 to $75/month for solid protection. Adding theft and gear coverage may cost a bit more, but it's a small price to pay compared to replacing a stolen or wrecked bike.
Not automatically. If you’ve added aftermarket exhausts, upgraded suspension, custom paint, or electronic accessories, you’ll want to add accessory coverage. Many riders in Carlsbad, Vista, and Escondido opt for this to ensure their custom bikes are protected from both damage and theft. Be sure to let your insurance agent know exactly what’s been modified so we can get you covered properly.
