Spring Motorcycle Insurance Checklist for Texas Riders

As spring approaches, many riders are eager to hit the open road and enjoy the warmer weather. Before you rev up your engine, it’s important to make sure your motorcycle insurance is ready for the season ahead.

Review Your Current Coverage

Before setting out on a springtime ride, take a close look at your existing motorcycle insurance policy. Consider the following:

• Liability coverage: Texas law generally requires all riders to carry minimum liability insurance. This helps pay for necessary costs if you’re responsible for an accident that causes injury or property damage to a third party.
• Comprehensive and collision: These options can cover damage to your bike caused by accidents, fire, theft, vandalism and weather events.
• Uninsured/underinsured motorist: Not all motorists you share the road with have insurance. This covers your losses if you’re involved in an accident caused by someone who doesn’t have enough insurance.
• Personal injury protection (PIP) coverage: This can help with medical expenses and lost wages for you and your passengers after an accident, regardless of fault.

Review Your Policy

Spring is a great time to update your policy details. If you’ve installed custom parts on your motorcycle, changed your riding habits or added safety features, let your broker know. These changes may affect your coverage needs or even help you qualify for discounts.

Understand Insurance Requirements

Check if your policy meets or exceeds the state’s minimum requirements. Our team can help you understand what’s required and recommend additional protection based on your riding style and location.

Prepare for a Safe Riding Season

In addition to reviewing your insurance, check your motorcycle’s condition, update your safety gear and refresh your knowledge of local motorcycle laws. Being prepared helps ensure a safe and enjoyable spring riding season.
