ATV, Moped & Motorcycle Insurance in Shreveport, LA

In order to register your motorcycle, moped, or 4-wheeler in the state of Louisiana, you must show proof of insurance. At minimum, you need $15,000 or $30,000 for bodily injury or death and $25,000 for property damage.

Are the minimums enough for you? Remember, in addition to getting a great rate, you must make sure you have adequate coverage to make those premiums worthwhile.

Your independent motorcycle insurance agent can help tailor a coverage package that may include additional coverages such as increased liability coverage, uninsured/underinsured motorists coverage, replacement cost coverage, towing and roadside assistance, coverage for passengers, rental reimbursement, lease/loan gap coverage, and coverage for optional or customized features on your bike.

Those additional coverages, should they be recommended, can be a major factor in how well you recover financially from a motorbike accident.

What factors determine your motorcycle insurance rate?

The following factors are critical in determining your motorcycle insurance rate:

• Age and driving history
• Style of bike
• Where you live and how you store your vehicle
• Are you a year-round or seasonal rider?
• Do you regularly carry passengers or not?
• Do you ride on a street or a track?
• Have you recently completed a safety course or are you a part of a group like the American Motorcyclists Association (AMA) or the Harley Owners Group (HOG)? If so, you may be eligible for a discount.

Note: Not only do you need to carry insurance on your motorcycle or moped, but you must make sure you have proof of insurance on you when riding. If you are unable to show proof of insurance when asked, your bike may be impounded!

Personal Watercraft and Boat Insurance in Bossier City, Louisiana

Is boat insurance required by law in Louisiana? No. Is it a really good idea to carry it anyway? Absolutely.

The Bayou State is consistently ranked within the top 10 states for boating. And if you live here you know, whether it’s a fishing charter or a pleasure cruise, being out on the water is just a way of life for Louisianans.

In 2013, the US Coast Guard tallied 96 recreational boating accidents in Louisiana, resulting in 15 deaths, 92 people being injured, and over $600,000 worth of property damage. The number one cause of boating accidents was collision with a recreational vessel.

Basic Boat Insurance Coverages – From Bass Fishing Boats to Yachts

The risk of injury or property damage is very real due to inattentive, inexperienced, or intoxicated boaters that you’re sharing the waters with. And compared to your other higher-cost insurance premiums, your boat insurance rate is generally relatively affordable, on average, running around $300 to $500 annually – a small price to pay for peace of mind. The most common watercraft coverages include:

• Watercraft liability: Helps cover medical costs, loss of income, and funeral expenses of others involved in an accident.
• Uninsured/underinsured watercraft: Helps cover injuries sustained by you, your family, or anyone on your boat as the result of an accident involving an uninsured/underinsured boater.
• Medical payments: Helps cover payment for some of your medical costs or those of passengers on your watercraft.
• Property coverage: Helps cover damage to your boat as a result of collision with another boat, pier, buoy, or dock and also typically pays for damage or loss as a result of theft, fire, vandalism, and some natural disasters.

Additional Boat Insurance Coverages

Your watercraft insurance agent may recommend additional coverages to help protect you and your family, including personal property coverage, emergency services coverage, additional boat equipment coverage, boat trailer coverage or repair cost endorsement coverage.
