We are a Texas-based Insurance Agency and we will shop for the best Motorcycle Insurance in Texas and New Mexico to find you the best coverage at an affordable price. You can either fill out our online quote form or contact us for a free, no-obligation quote.
Insurance companies will take into consideration many different factors when insuring your motorcycle in Texas and New Mexico. One company is not always the best fit for everyone, that is why we compare companies for you.
Most companies offer coverages similar to Auto Insurance policies. This would include your bodily injury and property damage liability. You may also consider additional Texas and New Mexico Motorcycle Insurance including Medical Payments, Comprehensive and Collision coverage. An Uninsured Motorist covers you in the event you are injured by someone who does not carry insurance or may not have enough insurance to cover your injuries.
​
INSURANCE COVERAGES
Full Replacement Cost and no Depreciation for Parts
We'll always return your bike to pre-accident condition or better.
Example: Your three-year-old handlebar gets damaged in a covered loss. Its depreciated value is only $100, but you need to replace it with a new one that costs $250. We will give you the full $250 for a brand-new handlebar and not the depreciated value of $100.
​
Accessories and Custom Parts/Equipment (CPE)
You'll choose the amount you need to re-customize or restore your bike. We'll automatically include $3,000 of coverage with Comprehensive and Collision to pay for upgrades, customizations, equipment and your accessories. If that's not enough, you can purchase up to $3,000 in coverage. Keep in mind, as you make upgrades to your bike, you may want to increase your accessory coverage limit so you'll be adequately protected.
​
Example: A few months after you bought your bike, you added a custom, diamond-stitch seat to your ride. If it's damaged in an accident, your accessory coverage will replace the seat. A deductible applies.
OEM Parts
If you have Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Parts in your bike, we'll always use OEM Parts in repairs. Or if you have customer parts, we'll use custom parts in repairs. With Progressive, you're always covered with the same or better parts. This coverage is included if you add comprehensive and collision.
​
Example: Your headlight is damaged in an accident. We'll replace it with one from the original manufacturer. At Progressive, we know you're proud of your bike's brand and you don't want to settle for aftermarket parts.
​
STANDARD COVERAGES
Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability (BI/PD)
Pays for damages to other vehicles and injuries to others if you're liable in a motorcycle accident, as well as legal expenses if you're sued. Bodily Injury Coverage is mandatory in almost every state.
​
Example: You're at fault in an accident with another motorcycle, injuring the rider and damaging their bike. We'll pay for both the rider's injuries and damages to their bike up to the policy's limits.
​
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
What happens if someone who doesn't have insurance hits you? Sometimes, they'll pay out of pocket for damages. But if they can't, UM/UIM pays for your medical bills, damages to your motorcycle and lost wages if you can't work.
​
Example: You're blindsided by a driver with no insurance and no way to pay for the injuries they've caused. UM/UIM coverage will pay for your injuries up to the limits of your policy.
​
Comprehensive and Collision
Comprehensive pays to repair or replace your motorcycle if it's stolen, vandalized or damaged in a fire or collision with an animal. Collision coverage pays to repair or replace your bike if it's damaged in an accident. You'll be able to choose your deductible amount for Comprehensive and Collision.
​
Example: You're in a collision with a deer and your motorcycle is totaled. Comprehensive coverage will pay for the actual cash value of the bike, minus any deductible.
​
Medical Payments
Pays for you and your passengers' medical bills if you're in an accident, regardless of fault.
​
Example: You fall off your bike and break your arm. Unfortunately, you don't have health insurance but your policy's medical payments will cover your medical bill up to specified limits.
​
EXTRA COVERAGES
Total Loss Coverage for a New Motorcycle
Available if your bike is no more than one model year old on a new policy and two model years old during a renewal of a Total Loss coverage policy. If your bike is totaled, we'll give you the full manufacturer's suggested retail price for a brand new bike, minus the deductible on your policy.
​
Example: Let's say that you bought a motorcycle for $15,000, and it's now only worth $10,000. If it's totaled and the latest model costs over $15,000, we'll give you that amount. If your motorcycle is no longer eligible for Total Loss coverage at renewal, your policy will still cover the actual cash value of your bike.
​
Roadside Assistance and Trip Interruption
If your bike is disabled anywhere in the United States or Canada, our Roadside Assistance program will tow your bike to the nearest repair shop for free. You can also add trip interruption to pay for food, hotel or transportation up to $500 if you're away from home.
​
Carried Contents
Covers personal belongings that you carry on your bike if they're damaged, stolen or lost, including phones, camping equipment and hunting gear.
​
Disappearing Deductible
We'll take 25% off your deductible for every claim-free Motorcycle Policy you have all the way down to $0. If you have a claim, the deductible returns to its original amount at the next renewal.
​
Enhanced Injury Protection
If you're injured and can't work, we'll pay you up to $250 every week for two straight years. We'll also add death benefits to this, so if you're in a fatal accident, we'll pay your beneficiaries $25,000.

​
Do you need insurance for a scooter or moped?
Liability insurance is required by law if the engine is 50cc or greater. That means you'll be protected up to your policy's limits if you cause damages or injure someone while riding. If you're financing your bike, your lender may require you to carry physical damage coverage. Some states may not require Scooter or Moped Insurance for engines less than 50cc or top speeds below 30 mph. Make sure you know your bike's specifications and check with your state to find out what's mandated.
​
What are the benefits of a scooter or moped?
With a smaller engine and less weight to haul around, riding a scooter or moped allows for increased fuel efficiency compared to a larger motorcycle or automobile. You won't just save on gas—a parking permit for a scooter or moped typically costs less than one for a car. Plus, the compact size can be particularly beneficial when finding a parking space and navigating crowded areas on a college campus or in a big city.
​
What are the differences between a scooter and a moped?
Scooters and mopeds are similar, yet there are some differences worth mentioning. Mopeds have pedals and are known for resembling a bicycle, while scooters usually have a step-through design with a platform to rest the operator's feet. They're both two-wheeled vehicles, but scooters are considered more powerful. Mopeds usually have smaller engines and therefore, less power capacity (49cc and under). Scooters have larger engines (50cc up to 150cc) and can reach higher speeds.
​
Tips for quoting Scooter and Moped insurance
-
Keep in mind, vehicles you can stand on with a platform for your feet are not classified as scooters or mopeds and cannot be insured by Progressive.
-
If you don't know your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), make sure you know the year, make and model to get the most accurate quote.
-
Completing a motorcycle safety course could lower your insurance rate.
-
Make sure to add all possible riders of your moped to your quote.
