What Does Motorcycle Insurance Cover?
California law requires motorcycle liability insurance, but that’s just the beginning. Our local La Mesa agents walk you through everything your policy can and should include.
Liability Coverage
Meets California’s legal requirements by covering bodily injury and property damage you cause to others while riding.
Collision & Comprehensive
Pays to repair or replace your motorcycle if it's damaged in an accident, stolen, vandalized, or affected by fire or weather.
Medical Payments & Uninsured Motorist
Covers your medical costs if you’re hurt in a crash—especially if the at-fault driver doesn’t have enough insurance or flees the scene.

Motorcyclists face unique risks on the road. Whether you're riding a touring bike, chopper, café racer, or trike, we help customize your coverage for the way you ride.
Optional coverage enhancements include:
- Full replacement cost or agreed value coverage for custom bikes
- Gear and accessory coverage for saddlebags, helmets, jackets, and upgrades
- Roadside assistance and towing for motorcycles
- Trip interruption protection for cross-county or long-distance rides
- Passenger liability insurance
Whether you’re riding daily in East County or exploring mountain curves outside Ramona, we’ll make sure your bike insurance keeps up.
What Impacts Your Motorcycle Insurance Premium in California?
Your motorcycle insurance rate depends on more than just your bike. We consider how often you ride, your experience, your location in San Diego County, and even where you park your motorcycle at night.
La Mesa riders living near busy intersections or areas with high theft rates may pay more than those in gated communities or rural zones like Ramona. Premiums are also influenced by your bike’s make, model, engine size, and any custom modifications. Want cheaper motorcycle insurance in California? Safe riding history, bundling with auto or renters insurance, and completing a motorcycle safety course can all earn you significant discounts.
Even high-performance bikes can get affordable insurance with the right guidance.

Motorcycle Insurance FAQs
What’s the minimum motorcycle insurance required in California?
California requires all riders to carry liability coverage: at least $15,000 per person, $30,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $5,000 for property damage. We recommend higher limits for most riders to better protect your assets.
Does motorcycle insurance cover theft or vandalism?
Only if you have comprehensive coverage. This protects your bike from theft, vandalism, fire, and weather damage—not just crashes. We strongly recommend this in San Diego County, where theft rates can be high.
How can I lower my motorcycle insurance rate in La Mesa?
You can lower your premium by bundling with your home or auto policy, maintaining a clean driving record, storing your bike securely, and taking a state-approved motorcycle safety course.
Are custom or modified motorcycles more expensive to insure?
Usually, yes—but we offer options like agreed value and custom parts coverage to make sure your upgrades are fully protected. We’ll walk you through the right way to insure a custom build.
Do I need motorcycle insurance if I don’t ride often?
Yes. Even if your bike is rarely used, you’re still legally required to carry insurance in California. And if your bike is stolen, vandalized, or damaged while stored, you’ll want to be covered.
