Before you buy a new policy, you should make sure that it is appropriate for your goals and your concerns. An independent agent from an agency like the Martin Insurance Team can help you identify the coverage that you need and find the right plan for your goals and budget.

Minimum Standards

Illinois state laws require insurance for every motorcycle that is on the road. You must purchase liability protection to comply with the state standards; however, you may prefer to purchase additional protection for your motorcycle if you feel that the basic coverage is too limited.

Minimum standards provide the foundation that you must follow, but you can purchase more than the minimum protection. Additional liability protection or coverage against collisions, theft or storms can be an appropriate way to prevent high-cost bills if you are in an accident.
