How to Save on Motorcycle Insurance in Colorado

Colorado drivers have several reliable ways to reduce their motorcycle insurance costs without sacrificing meaningful coverage.

✓
Complete a safety course
A Colorado-approved motorcycle safety course (MSF Basic RiderCourse) earns 5-15% discounts with most carriers and can waive the DMV riding test for new riders.
✓
Bundle with auto + home
Bundling motorcycle with your auto and home policies from the same carrier can save 15-25% in Colorado. Multi-vehicle discounts also apply when insuring multiple bikes.
✓
Consider seasonal lay-up coverage
If you don't ride year-round in Colorado, a storage/lay-up policy drops collision coverage during off-season months while keeping comprehensive protection — saving 20-40% annually.
✓
Choose your bike wisely
Sport bikes cost 50-100% more to insure than cruisers or touring bikes in Colorado. Engine size, theft frequency, and repair costs for your specific model directly affect your rate.
✓
Compare multiple carriers
The spread between the highest and lowest quote in Colorado is often 40-60%. Getting quotes from State Farm, GEICO, Progressive, and others simultaneously is the single highest-impact action you can take.
✓
Review annually
Colorado insurance rates change every year. Set a reminder to re-shop your motorcycle insurance policy at renewal. Loyalty doesn't always mean the best rate — your current carrier may not be the cheapest option next year.
