There are 4 main ways you can lower your Montreal motorcycle insurance cost:

1. Avoid making small claims – If you have 3 or more claims within 5 years, you will have a very difficult time finding affordable insurance.
2. Raise your deductibles – The more you’re willing to pay out of pocket to have repairs done, the less expensive your Car Insurance will be.
3. Bundle your motorcycle & residential insurance – You can save a significant amount when you combine insurance policies.
4. Consider buying “one-way” coverage – Just be aware of the coverage and protections you’re missing out on by spending less.

Your motorcycle insurance rate is already adjusted to accommodate the riding season. 

Since Ontario is covered in snow for half of the year, the fact that you won’t be riding for those months is already taken into consideration when setting your price. 

So, getting seasonal motorcycle insurance is as simple as getting a quote.

It’s not just Ontario. 

Motorcycle insurance is expensive Canada-wide. 

Why?

When you purchase insurance, companies consider how much risk you bring to the table – and driving a motorcycle is more hazardous than driving a car. 

For example, motorcycles riders face a few different risks: 

1. High accident rates
2. Higher fatality rates 
3. Riders are more exposed to the elements

The more risk you carry, the higher the chance you’ll make a claim.

And claims are costly to insurance companies. 

So to balance things out, high risk insurance clients pay more.

Auto insurance is mandatory in the province of Ontario, and motorcycle insurance is no exception. 

Here are the four mandatory auto insurance coverages in Ontario that are automatically included in all policies. 

• Third party liability: This covers you for responsible damages made to a third party. At a minimum, all drivers in Ontario have to carry $200k in third party liability insurance. 
• Statutory accident benefits coverage: Provides coverage for income replacement, death and funeral expenses in the event of an accident. 
• Uninsured automobile coverage: Pays out in the event that you’re injured or killed in an accident in which the responsible party is uninsured. 
• Direct compensation property damage (DCPD): Covers damages to your car if you’re in an accident in which the other driver is at fault, and has Ontario insurance coverage in place. 

You can purchase different coverage amounts depending on your needs. There are also add-on coverages like collision and comprehensive insurance that you can opt in for.
