Georgia motorcycle insurance
Georgia has plenty of roads to entertain riders who love twists and turns and great views on their travels. The state is also home to an abundance of national forests and parks—and the spectacular Blue Ridge Mountains.
These rides are authentic treats for adventurers. For vast stretches in Georgia, you can ride without seeing people or going through towns. Be prepared with a full tank of gas and some food in your saddlebags.
Preparation is a part of every journey, which is why you need a motorcycle insurance policy when you hit the road in The Peach State.

What are the motorcycle insurance requirements in Georgia?
Motorcycle insurance is required in Georgia, and proof of insurance must be shown prior to registering your motorcycle.
Whether you’re riding along the coast or in downtown Atlanta, you’ll need the following minimum motorcycle insurance coverages to legally ride:
$25,000 for bodily injury liability or death to one person
$50,000 for bodily injury liability or death to two or more people
$25,000 for property damage liability per accident
When the losses are higher than these limits, you may be responsible for paying the difference. Choosing higher motorcycle insurance limits can help protect you and your assets in these situations.
