Motorcycle Insurance Archives

In Virginia and Florida, alcohol and drug-related traffic violations require an FR-44 certificate filing to reinstate a driver’s license. People who own a motorcycles can attach an FR-44 certificate to their motorcycle policy in Virginia but not in Florida. High-risk FR-44 motorcycle insurance costs significantly more than standard or SR-22 insurance.

FR-44 motorcycle insurance costs generally depend on these factors:

• Whether you live in a rural or urban area
• Your age
• Driving history
• Circumstances of your DUI or DWI conviction
• The type of motorcycle
• The motorcycle’s engine size

You’ll need SR-22 insurance for license reinstatement following a suspension for any reason. The cost of SR-22 motorcycle insurance depends on various factors, including:

• The state requiring the SR22 filing
• Motorcycle age and type
• The motorcycle coverage options you choose
• Circumstances of your license suspension
• Your driving history
• Your age
• Gender and marital status
• Credit history

These are the same variables that insurance companies use when determining standard insurance rates. Usually, the cost of SR22 motorcycle insurance is somewhat higher than a standard motorcycle policy, but cheaper than SR22 auto insurance rates.

Motorcycle insurance premiums substantially increase if you have a poor driving record due to multiple traffic violations or DUI convictions. You can keep your insurance payments low by avoiding accidents, traffic tickets, and driving under the influence.

Other ways to lower your insurance premiums include:

• Taking certification classes or training programs
• Buying a less expensive bike
• Improving your credit score

Purchasing only the minimum liability insurance coverage or opting for a higher deductible can also help reduce your motorcycle insurance costs.
