Motorcycle Insurance in Alberta - What You Need to Know
The average annual price of motorcycle insurance in Alberta is approximately $448 a year (this equates to roughly $40 a month).
Unfortunately, we can’t provide you with an exact cost because several variables influence the price of motorcycle coverage in Alberta. We can say that if you’re paying closer to $3,500, your motorcycle insurance company likely considers you a “high risk driver”.
Yes, motorcycle insurance is required in Alberta. Riders must have, at the very least, third-party liability insurance. This kind of insurance covers the cost of any bodily injury or property damage that you may cause to others while operating your motorcycle.
It is not only a legal requirement, but it also provides vital protection for riders. Motorcycle insurance financially safeguards you in a collision, theft, or damage to your bike.
Most motorcycle insurance policies in Alberta can include the following coverage components:
Loss or damage coverage — A type of coverage that financially covers your motorcycle if it gets damaged in an accident or by other risks (fire, theft, vandalism, etc.).
Third-party liability coverage — As the name implies, third-party liability insurance covers damage that you cause to a third party (another driver, a pedestrian, etc.) and/or their property. As mentioned earlier, motorcycle owners need to have liability coverage in Alberta. Many motorcycle owners generally purchase one to two million dollars worth of liability coverage.
Accident benefits — A type of coverage that financially protects drivers and passengers who get hurt in an accident.
Hit-and-run coverage — For those that don’t know, a hit-and-run is the act of getting into an accident and fleeing the scene before the authorities arrive. If you have hit-and-run coverage, you’ll be financially protected if you’re involved in such an event.
Yes, even though the season may only last a few months, it’s still a good idea to keep your coverage active for the entire year. Insurers are aware of the short time frame for riding your motorcycle and the limited usage is already factored into your premium.
Yes, protective gear must be worn when riding your motorcycle in Alberta. Helmets must meet safety standards and have either CSA, DOT, Snell or BSI certification. Riders are also encouraged to wear additional safety gear including eye protection, sturdy clothing, gloves, and boots.
