Cheap Motorcycle Insurance – Can I Just Add It To My Existing Auto Insurance?
Reader question:
Can I get insured with my motorcycle on my car insurance policy?
Edgard
Yep.
Almost all of the car insurance companies out there will give you an option to do this. Normally this will be under the area of miscellaneous vehicles where you will put your motorcycle. In some states, though, you don’t need to insure your motorcycle if you aren’t driving it. For example, if you only drive your motorcycle in the summer in New York, you just have to fill out a form so that you don’t need auto insurance.
If you don’t have a car and only have a motorcycle, then you might need to go with a company that insures motorcycles on their own vehicle insurance policies. One such company is Progressive. Another one is GEICO.

Cheap Breakdown Car Insurance Coverage
Even with a thousand features on your car to keep it from getting into a car accident, you are still often unprotected from it suddenly breaking down on you. Even a car that you take care of constantly will go out at some point, even if it isn’t your fault, especially in the winter. However, most of the time you can avoid this just by a little extra care once a month. Most people don’t bother, and that’s why things such as rescue and breakdown coverage provided by car insurance companies comes in very handy.
There are several different kinds of coverages that can come in here. Roadside assistance is one of the best, because it saves you hundreds of possible dollars in the costs of towing and other things. It can come in handy when you’re stuck out in the middle of nowhere with a broken down car and have no one to pick you up. You can just call and bring a tow truck, and show them your car insurance card. The types of roadside assistance vary. Some go by the person, but most go by the car that is being insured in the first place, so you will be covered for roadside breakdown and a tow to a repair shop regardless of who is driving the car.
Some car insurance companies even offer breakdown coverage that will take care of you if your car breaks down right there in your driveway. You can even get a combination of the two.
One of the most important things to have to accompany your roadside assistance coverage is car rental reimbursement. This is a great investment, because if your car breaks down or you get into a car accident, that won’t change the fact that you need transportation. If carpooling isn’t a possibility for you, then you’ll want to pay the few extra dollars a month in order to be paid back if you should have to rent a car while you’re out of your own one. The amount that you will pay for this type of coverage in an entire year is usually less than even a day’s worth of paying for a rental car.
Some companies offer extended coverage for breakdowns, such as GEICO. GEICO’s mechanical breakdown insurance is a lot like a warranty, and is a great option for drivers who still need coverage once their warranty is out. Like warranties, it does not provide coverage for things such as wear and tear, and you can’t expect to get reimbursed for something if you don’t maintain your car and the breakdown is a result of wear and tear. All you have to pay for any other breakdowns is the $250 deductible, and the rest belongs to GEICO.
It is often a better option than an extended warranty from your dealer, because, for one, it is much cheaper than you will be charged for. Also, at a dealer they usually tell you what parts you can get repaired, whereas GEICO does not restrict this. And anytime you need, you can take your car in to get repaired so long as it falls under the requirements. Even if you’ve already bought one, you usually still have one to two months during which you can refund it and get something else.

Cheap High Performance Car Insurance
Why should you pay more for high performance muscle car insurance? Could it be justified because you own a fast car, does that mean you are going to drive fast and reckless?
I know of many fast car collectors in this country and many of them do not really drive fast at all….heck their cars cost too much money to put in jeopardy driving like a mad man.
So does this mean that their car insurance carrier will give them the same low rates as a “normal” vehicle? Ya right my friend, think again.
I would assume that the vast majority of cases the insurance rates will be greatly higher for a muscle car than that of a regular whimpy vehicle. Could this be fair? Can one really expect to find cheap fast car insurance?
So how can a high performance car owner reduce your insurance rates?
- Carry the highest deductible allowed
- Move all other insurance plans to one company to take advance of combined coverage discounts
- Check for discounts like limited use or restricted use vehicles if you only drive on the weekends or at certain times of the year etc.
- Take defensive driving class or some other state offered driving program
- Clean up your driving record. Keep your record clean and clear of violations even when not driving in your fast car. Any and all violations will increase your rates regardless of what kind of vehicle you were driving in when you were giving the citation.
