There are some beautiful places to visit in Canada, especially on the open road in a motorbike. Motorcycle Insurance is required if you plan to ride in Canada. It is priced differently than a standard Car Insurance policy because it insures a vehicle you may ride seasonally, which does not provide the same safety measures (seatbelt, airbags, etc.) as a car.
Motorcycle Insurance safeguards against financial loss in cases of a motor accident, theft, vandalism, or liability. The Standard Insurance currently offers motorcycle coverage options to Northwestern Ontario.
What Does Your Motorcycle Insurance Cover?
No two riders are the same, which is why The Standard helps you customize your insurance policy based on your vehicle type, age, and lifestyle. We work with some of the country’s top insurance providers to tailor policies that give you the best coverage at the most competitive rate.
While you can add extended insurance to your policy, the most basic Motorcycle Insurance quote includes coverage for:
Accident Benefits
If you are in an accident on your motorcycle, your insurance will help pay for medical expenses outside your provincial coverage (and funeral expenses in the event of death). This removes the financial burden from you and your family.
Liability
If a motorcycle accident injures another person or their property, liability protection covers the cost of repair or medical bills. This is critical coverage if you are found at fault in the accident.
Direct Compensation
Direct Compensation protection covers your motorcycle. If another insured driver hits you, this portion of your policy pays for damage to your bike.
Optional Motorcycle Coverage
Along with the standard coverage you receive in a Motorcycle Insurance policy, you may also opt for extended insurance products, such as:
Replacement
If your bike needs to be repaired or replaced, your Replacement Coverage provides you with alternative transportation while you wait for your bike to be repaired.
Belongings Coverage
If you are a biker who loves long rides, you probably have a storage compartment or saddle bag containing essential items. Your belongings or personal effects protection keeps these items safe by covering their value in the event of accident or loss.
Collision
A Collision Coverage add-on protects your motorcycle in terms of repair or replacement up to its actual cash value minus your deductible.
Comprehensive
Comprehensive protection provides financial aid if your motorcycle is damaged by something other than a motor accident. For example, vandalism, theft, inclement weather, or falling objects.
All Perils
As with Car Insurance products, you can add All Perils Coverage to your motorcycle insurance. This option combines the coverages of Collision and Comprehensive.
Specified Perils
Specified Perils protection allows you to pick and choose the perils you would like to cover in your policy. Your Motorcycle is still covered for any listed risks such as fire, lightning storms, or theft.

Motorcycle Insurance FAQs
At The Standard Insurance, we receive many questions regarding Motorcycle Insurance. We have compiled a list of our most frequently asked questions to help you better understand what your policy would entail:
I have a custom motorcycle. Is it harder to insure?
Your custom motorcycle can be insured just as a stock bike can be; the difference lands on price point. You may pay more for your insurance on a custom bike because parts and labour aren’t provided by the manufacturer.
I ride my motorcycle as a main vehicle. Can I get standalone bike insurance?
Your insurance products can benefit from a cheaper price when bundled, but many Canadian insurers offer Motorcycle Insurance quotes for standalone products. You can bundle with a car, but you don’t need to.
Insurance on my motorcycle is more expensive than the bike I bought. Why?
Your Motorcycle Insurance is based on risks involved in driving the bike, your experience as a bike rider, your past claims, and other factors. It does not take into consideration the price of your bike. However, there are many ways to save on your insurance quote; a Standard Insurance advisor can help you find the best products to meet your budget.
Can I use someone else’s insurance as an occasional rider instead of getting my own insurance?
If you are only riding occasionally on somebody else’s motorcycle – which is insured through their insurance company – this is possible. However, if you plan to ride your bike or build a clean driving record for reduced insurance rates in the future, the best option is to get your own motorcycle and insurance.
