Motorcycle Insurance in Missouri: The Cheapest Quotes and Best Companies

For Missouri riders, the least expensive option is to get a motorcycle insurance policy that only meets the state minimum liability coverage limits. But affordability does not make a policy the best option. While liability-only motorcycle insurance in Missouri is much cheaper, it only includes bodily injury liability, property damage liability and uninsured motorists insurance. A comprehensive and collision coverage insurance is the better option for most Missouri riders as it offers more protection and higher liability limits.

The profile used for this analysis was a rider with a good driving history and 50/100/25 liability-only coverage policy.

Based on MoneyGeek’s study, the most affordable motorcycle insurance companies on average in Missouri for liability-only coverage are:

• GEICO: $124 per year
• Progressive: $133 per year

If you want to have better protection, consider getting full coverage with comprehensive and collision insurance. It will cost more than a liability-only policy but will protect you against damages due to collisions with another vehicle or structures. Additionally, it covers damages to or the loss of your bike due to non-collision incidents like fire, theft or vandalism. You will likely need full coverage insurance if you are making payments on your motorcycle.

For this analysis, MoneyGeek chose a driver with a good driving record and a full coverage policy that includes 50/100/25 coverage and a $500 deductible.

The study found that the companies with the cheapest motorcycle insurance rates in Missouri on average for a full-coverage policy are:

• Progressive: $307 per year
• GEICO: $394 per year

Meanwhile, the most expensive motorcycle insurance carrier for a full-coverage policy in the state is Nationwide, with an average rate of $660. Progressive is 53.5% cheaper, showing that it pays to shop around.

All motorcycle riders are required by law to have motorcycle insurance in Missouri. Your policy should at least meet the minimum state liability-only coverage requirement, which includes:

• $25,000 per person bodily injury liability
• $50,000 per accident bodily injury liability
• $10,000 property damage liability*
• Uninsured motorist coverage

State law requires riders to have motorcycle insurance with a minimum level of coverage at 25/50/10. These represent the liability limits that your insurer will pay you in the event of an at-fault accident. These include $25,000 per person bodily injury insurance for a total of $50,000 per accident and $10,000 for property damage liability coverage.

Aside from liability coverage, motorcycle insurance in Missouri should also include uninsured motorist coverage. The minimum limits are $25,000 for bodily injury per person and a total of $50,000 for bodily injury per accident.

MONEYGEEK EXPERT TIP

For most riders in Missouri, MoneyGeek recommends a full coverage policy of at least 50/100/25 and preferably 100/300/100 because of the small incremental cost for a large increase in coverage. The state also requires uninsured motorist coverage. For this, MoneyGeek recommends that you match this coverage with the policy coverage mentioned above.
