Motorcycle insurance after a DUI or with an SR-22 in California

A DUI in California affects your whole driving privilege, not just the vehicle you were in — so a DUI in a car follows you onto a bike, and a DUI on a bike follows you into a car. If the DMV requires an SR-22, it can be attached to a motorcycle policy; if you do not own a bike or car, a non-owner SR-22 satisfies the filing.

  • SR-22 on a motorcycle policy: we file it electronically with the California DMV the same business day the policy is bound — typically required for 3 years from reinstatement.
  • What it costs: the filing itself is a small fee; the DUI is what moves the premium. Post-DUI motorcycle rates vary widely between carriers, which is why we quote several specialty carriers rather than one.
  • How long it follows you: a DUI stays on a California driving record for 10 years; most carriers weigh it heavily for the first 3.
  • No bike yet? A non-owner SR-22 reinstates the license first; we move the filing to the bike policy the day you buy one, with no gap.

Full detail on the DUI rules is on DUI insurance in California and SR-22 insurance in California. Comparing carriers before you buy? Read our best motorcycle insurance in California (2026) guide, then come back here to bind.

Motorcycle Insurance FAQs

Everything you need to know about insuring your ride in California

What is the minimum motorcycle insurance required in California?
As of January 1, 2025, California requires minimum liability coverage of 30/60/15 for motorcycles (same as cars): $30,000 for injury to one person, $60,000 for all injuries per accident, and $15,000 for property damage. Given the higher risk of injury for riders, we strongly recommend higher limits and medical payments coverage.
How much does motorcycle insurance cost in California?
Motorcycle insurance in California generally costs much less than car insurance — liability-only on a standard bike is often the cheapest policy a rider can hold, and full coverage adds collision and comprehensive priced on the bike's value. Your exact rate depends on your bike, riding experience, location, record, and coverage level. Cruisers and touring bikes are usually cheaper to insure than sport bikes. Rates are estimates, not guaranteed, and vary by driver, vehicle, and carrier underwriting.
Do I need insurance for a scooter or moped in California?
If your scooter or moped has an engine larger than 150cc, it requires the same insurance as a motorcycle. For 50cc and under, insurance isn't required by law but is highly recommended. We offer affordable coverage for all types of two-wheeled vehicles.
Is ATV insurance required in California?
ATVs used only on private property don't require insurance, but it's smart to have it. If you transport your ATV on public roads or use it on BLM land, liability coverage is highly recommended. We offer comprehensive ATV coverage starting at just $15/month.
Can I get motorcycle insurance with a DUI or accidents?
Yes! Auto World Insurance specializes in helping riders who've been turned away elsewhere. We work with multiple carriers who understand that past mistakes don't define you as a rider. SR-22 filing is available if needed.
Does motorcycle insurance cover my custom parts?
Standard policies typically cover your bike at market value. If you've invested in custom parts, chrome, exhaust, or paint, you'll want our Custom Parts & Equipment coverage. This ensures your modifications are protected at their full value.
What discounts are available for motorcycle insurance?
We offer many discounts: safety course completion (up to 15% off), multi-bike (up to 20% off), bundling with auto/home insurance (up to 15% off), experienced rider (up to 10% off), and anti-theft device discounts. Our system automatically applies all available discounts.
