Whether you are buying coverage for the first time or renewing your motorcycle, moped, motor scooter or motor-assisted bicycle insurance, your policy will typically include:​​

How to Buy Motorcycle Insurance

Insurers base your motorcycle, moped, motor scooter or motor-assisted bicycle insurance rate upon factors similar to those used for rating auto insurance, such as:

• Your age (in some provinces/territories)
• Your riding experience
• The type of motorcycle, moped, motor scooter or motor-assisted bicycle (for example, manufacturer and engine size) you own.

If you live in a province or territory with private insurance, shop around to compare prices, coverages and service. Learn about additional things to consider when buying motorcycle​ insurance.
