Cheapest motorcycle insurance companies in Indiana

Best motorcycle insurance for most riders: Nationwide

Nationwide is our motorcycle insurance recommendation for most riders in Indiana. It has the lowest price overall, as well as better-than-average customer service and coverage options.

The typical price of motorcycle insurance from Nationwide is just $442 per year in Indiana. That's 23% cheaper than the average we found statewide, and represents a savings of $136. And as a major home and auto insurer, Nationwide also offers bundling discounts for combining policies.

Nationwide has good customer service, too. It has a Complaint Index from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) of 0.87, meaning it received only 87% as many complaints as a typical insurer, relative to its size.

We thought Nationwide's coverage options were good, but not industry-leading. It offers OEM parts coverage and protection for custom equipment, but lacks things like rental reimbursement coverage.

Best for great customer service: Geico

Riders who value a strong customer service experience should look at Geico. It had the best customer service scores of any company we looked at, with an impressively low NAIC Complaint Index of 0.67. This means it received only 67% as many complaints as you would expect, given its size, and suggests that customers tended to be satisfied with the service they received.

Geico offered great rates, too. Its typical price statewide was $482 per year, only $40 more than the absolute cheapest option. That puts it $95 cheaper per year than the average price we found across all insurers.

The one place Geico falls short is its coverage options. It lacks a lot of optional protections riders may prefer for their motorcycles, such as coverage for OEM parts, carried contents coverage or accident forgiveness. It does offer roadside assistance and accessories coverage, though.

Best for coverage options: Progressive

Riders who have a high-end motorcycle or use their bikes for touring may find the extra coverages they need at Progressive. It had the most impressive range of coverage options we found statewide, including coverage for custom parts and accessories, guaranteed OEM parts replacement and carried contents coverage.

Progressive was also the only insurer we considered that offered trip interruption coverage, which reimburses you for expenses like lodging if you're in a crash while on a long-distance trip.

Customers can expect good customer service at Progressive. Its NAIC Complaint Index was 0.72, meaning that people filed complaints 72% as often as a typical insurer, when controlling for size.

We found Progressive's rates to be slightly better than average — $536 per year, or $41 less than the typical price statewide. Insurance shoppers looking for the absolute best price will likely be better off looking elsewhere, though you may be able to bring your price down by bundling with home or auto coverage.

Best-rated Indiana motorcycle insurers

Having a motorcycle insurer you can trust is just as important as finding a great deal on coverage. Overall, we were most impressed with Geico and Progressive's service in Indiana, based on their NAIC Complaint Index and AM Best Financial Strength Rating.

NAIC combines car and motorcycle insurance into a single industry category. This means the scores are based on each company's combined premiums for motorcycles and cars.

Quality of customer service is an important part of your experience with a motorcycle insurance company and should be factored into your purchase decision. Two important ways we measure a company's level of service are the Complaint Index issued by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and the company's AM Best Financial Strength Rating.

The NAIC Complaint Index compares a company's number of complaints with its share of the market. Lower numbers indicate better performance, and the average score is 1.0. A company with a better AM Best rating is in a better position to pay out claims, even in tough economic conditions.
