Navigating the winding roads of motorcycle insurance in Ontario can be as exhilarating as a ride through the countryside—when you know what you’re looking for. We'll throttle through the essentials of motorcycle insurance in Ontario, ensuring you're well-equipped for a smooth journey ahead.
1. The Basics: Why Do You Need Motorcycle Insurance?
In Ontario, just as with other vehicles, it's a legal requirement to have motorcycle insurance before you hit the road. This not only safeguards you against unforeseen financial setbacks but also ensures the well-being of other motorists and pedestrians.
2. What Does Motorcycle Insurance Cover?
Typically, a standard motorcycle insurance policy in Ontario covers:
Third-Party Liability: Protects you if you cause bodily injury or property damage to a third party
Statutory Accident Benefits: This provides coverage for yourself if you are injured in an accident, regardless of who is at-fault
Direct Compensation - Property Damage (DC-PD): Covers damages to your motorcycle if another motorist is at fault.
Uninsured Automobile: Provides protection if you’re involved in an accident with an uninsured driver.
You can also opt for additional coverages, such as comprehensive or collision, depending on your needs.
3. How Are Rates Determined?
Several factors influence motorcycle insurance rates in Ontario:
Type of motorcycle: Sports bikes may come with higher premiums than cruisers.
Rider’s age and experience: Experienced riders often enjoy reduced rates.
Riding history: A clean riding record can lead to lower premiums.
Location: Areas with higher claims rates might lead to higher premiums.
