Motorcycle Insurance for Indiana Riders Who Know the Road
Your car insurance doesn't follow you onto a motorcycle. Indiana requires a separate motorcycle policy — and Ci Insurance shops multiple carriers to find the right one for how and when you ride.
From military service to legal service
As an independent agency serving Jasper County and Northwest Indiana since 1953, we've helped riders across the region close the coverage gaps that auto policies leave behind. Whether you ride weekends through Jasper County or put serious miles on through the season, we'll match your policy to your actual riding habits — not a one-size-fits-all rate.
Indiana Requires More Than You Might Think
Indiana law requires liability coverage on every registered motorcycle — but minimum coverage is rarely enough to protect you in a serious accident. A dedicated motorcycle insurance policy goes well beyond the state baseline, and understanding the difference matters before your next ride.
A complete motorcycle policy typically includes:
- Liability coverage — required by Indiana law; covers bodily injury and property damage you cause to others
- Collision coverage — pays to repair or replace your bike after an accident, regardless of fault
- Comprehensive coverage — covers theft, vandalism, weather damage, and other non-collision losses
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage — protects you when the other driver carries little or no insurance
- Accessory and custom parts coverage — covers aftermarket equipment, custom paint, and added gear that standard policies often exclude
- Medical payments coverage — helps with your medical costs after an accident, regardless of who was at fault
Minimum coverage keeps you legal. The right coverage keeps you protected.
Your Auto Policy Doesn't Cover Your Motorcycle
One of the most common assumptions riders make is that their existing auto insurance extends to their motorcycle. It doesn't. Auto policies are written specifically for four-wheeled vehicles — motorcycles require a separate policy, and riding without one leaves you personally liable for any damage or injury you cause.
If you've been riding under the assumption that your car policy has you covered, one conversation with our team will close that gap before it becomes a claim.
What Indiana Riders Lose Without Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Indiana's uninsured driver rate is a documented concern. When you're on a motorcycle and the other driver has no insurance — or not enough — your own coverage becomes your only real protection. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage on a motorcycle policy pays for your medical bills, lost wages, and related costs when the at-fault driver can't.
We make sure this coverage is part of every motorcycle policy we write. The other driver's insurance isn't your safety net. Yours is.
Seasonal Coverage That Makes Sense for Indiana Riders
Indiana's riding season typically runs April through October. Paying full-price, year-round rates on a bike that sits in a garage through a Midwest winter doesn't make sense — and it isn't your only option.
As an independent agency, we compare motorcycle insurance across multiple carriers and can review storage endorsement options and seasonal rate structures to find a policy that reflects how you actually ride. If you're storing your bike for the off-season, there may be ways to reduce your premium while keeping comprehensive coverage active to protect against theft and weather damage during storage.
We'll walk through your riding calendar and build a policy around it.

Why Independent Matters for Motorcycle Coverage
Captive agents represent one company. We represent you. As an independent agency, Ci Insurance shops motorcycle insurance across multiple carriers — comparing rates, coverage terms, and endorsement options to find the policy that fits your situation, not the one a single insurer happens to offer.
We've earned five consecutive Best Insurance Agency awards in Jasper County because we put coverage first. That means we're not recommending the cheapest policy — we're recommending the right one. If a lower premium comes with gaps that matter, we'll tell you before you sign.
Motorcycle Insurance Questions from Indiana Riders
Do I need special insurance for my motorcycle in Indiana?
Yes. Indiana law requires liability insurance on any registered motorcycle, and that coverage must be on a dedicated motorcycle policy — your auto insurance does not extend to your bike. Riding without a separate policy leaves you uninsured and personally liable.What's the difference between minimum coverage and full motorcycle insurance?
Indiana's minimum requirement covers only liability — damage or injury you cause to others. Full motorcycle insurance adds collision, comprehensive, uninsured motorist, accessory coverage, and medical payments. Minimum coverage keeps you legal; full coverage protects your bike, your finances, and your health.Can I get a lower rate during the months I'm not riding?
Depending on the carrier, yes. Storage endorsements and seasonal rate options are available through some insurers and can reduce your premium during the off-season while keeping comprehensive coverage active to protect against theft and weather damage. We compare options across multiple carriers to find what's available for your situation.Does motorcycle insurance cover my custom parts and accessories?
Standard policies often exclude aftermarket equipment, custom paint, and added accessories. Accessory and custom parts coverage is available as an endorsement on most motorcycle policies and should be considered if your bike carries upgrades beyond the factory build.How do I know if I have enough uninsured motorist coverage on my motorcycle policy?
A good starting point is matching your uninsured motorist limits to your liability limits — but the right amount depends on your medical coverage, income, and risk tolerance. Indiana's uninsured driver rates make this coverage especially important for motorcyclists. We review your full picture and recommend limits that reflect your actual exposure.
