Delaware motorcycle insurance
Plan your Delaware motorcycle trip ahead of time—being sure to keep motorcycle insurance as a top priority, along with learning the state’s rules of the road.
What’s required of all motorcycle riders in Delaware?
Each state establishes its own laws and guidelines for residents operating motorcycles within the state. In Delaware, you’ll need to:
Register your motorcycle
Wear a helmet and eye protection approved by the Delaware Secretary of Safety
Hold a motorcycle endorsement on your driver’s license
If you’re younger than 18 years old and can’t get a motorcycle license endorsement yet, you can earn a student completion card by passing a state-approved motorcycle rider training course.
If you live in another state and plan to ride in Delaware, we have good news—Delaware accepts motorcycle endorsement and rider completion cards from other states.

Motorcycle insurance is mandatory for all motorcycle owners in Delaware. If you’re caught riding an uninsured motorcycle, you’ll likely face a heavy fine, and your license may also be suspended. Here are Delaware’s required coverages and their minimum limits:

Are optional motorcycle insurance coverages available in Delaware?
The minimum motorcycle insurance requirements will keep you compliant with Delaware law, but they may fall short of meeting your expenses if you’re involved in an accident. To help reduce that risk, consider purchasing additional optional insurance coverages, such as:
Collision
If you’re involved in an accident—whether with another vehicle or a stationary object—collision coverage can help cover the costs of the resulting damage to the insured vehicle.
Comprehensive
This optional coverage helps cover damages to your motorcycle not related to an accident—for example, fire, severe weather, flooding, and even vandalism and theft.
Uninsured motorist
If your motorcycle is damaged by an at-fault motorist who doesn’t have insurance, you could be forced to pay for repairs and other expenses out of pocket. This coverage can help reduce those costs.
Underinsured motorist
Similar to uninsured motorist coverage, this optional insurance can help pay for expenses following an accident with an at-fault motorist who doesn’t have sufficient insurance to cover your expenses.
