Nebraska motorcycle insurance
Nebraska offers motorcycle riders wide-open skies, boundless prairies, and daring cliffs. But before you cruise through the state’s vast rolling plains, make sure you have adequate motorcycle insurance to cover you and your bike. You’ll want to know the state’s motorcycle laws, too.
What’s required of all motorcycle riders in Nebraska?
To legally operate a motorcycle in Nebraska, you must be at least 17 years old and hold a Class M license. The state also requires all motorcycle riders to observe the following rules:

Are optional motorcycle insurance coverages available in Nebraska?
Yes. If damages exceed your minimum insurance coverage in an accident, you’ll have to pay for the extra expenses out of pocket. That’s why we offer optional coverages in Nebraska, including:
Collision coverage
When your motorcycle is involved in a collision with another vehicle or a stationary object—or even if it just tips over and is damaged—your collision coverage can help pay for the resulting costs of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage
If your motorcycle is damaged by something other than a collision, comprehensive motorcycle insurance can help you pay for repairs and other costs. This coverage frequently applies following incidents like theft, vandalism, and weather events like hailstorms.
Medical payments coverage
Medical payments coverage can help pay for the costs of medical coverage if you and your passengers sustain bodily injuries, regardless of who was at fault in the accident that led to the injuries.
