Default Loaner Coverage

My dealer has a program where they will lend me a bike during maintenance for free.

It is a fun way to test ride bikes, but USAA does not appear to cover motorcycle replacement vehicles, just cars.

Does anyone have a company that will, and that is otherwise good as well?

Mike

I had the same question for my insurance company, Farmers. I do not have a motorcycle yet but I have rented. They would not cover a rental motorcycle on my auto policy. They would cover a motorhome though? If I had a motorcycle policy they then would cover a motorcycle rental........ Kinda stupid. Looked at my policy and it stated rental autos were covered in the Rental Vehicle section. Did not exclude Motorcycles but did not say it would cover them. So if in doubt, get it in writing on your policy.

Progressive doesn't. Probably due to high cost of renting bikes vs cars.

Get your policy and check the "Definitions" section (usually the first section). Find the definition of "Your Covered Motorcycle" and that will let you know what is covered.

My policy will cover a loaner bike if mine is in the shop. It will not cover a regular rental.

Foremost.

Forgot to mention that it covers Liability/UM/UIM only, not damage to motorcycle itself.
