Reader’s Question:

Instead of a car, I’m planning to get a moped – it’s more convenient for weaving around traffic here in Chicago, IL. What kind of insurance can I get for that and how much would a car insurance cost?

Hi Ericka! Personally, I’m terrified of motorcycles – but that’s because I can’t even balance on a bicycle. I agree, though, mopeds and motorcycles give you much more mobility than a car in crowded streets. That is, if you know how to use it safely.

Now, since a moped is to be used as a vehicle, most insurers would offer something similar to auto insurance coverage. Basic coverage would include auto liability coverage for damage caused to your vehicle or other properties and bodily injury you experience yourself or cause to happen to others while using your vehicle. Insurers in Chicago, IL also usually offer additional insurance coverage, if requested.

While cost varies depending on the coverage required as well as on the insurer, there are ways to lower your premiums. You can begin by choosing a less flashy and more reliable moped – the make and model of the vehicle are a big consideration especially for first time users. Usually, if you’ve been insured for about 3 years already and consistently drive safely, never making a claim, your premiums are likely to decrease dramatically.

To find out how much auto insurance coverage for your moped in Chicago, IL will cost you now, why don’t you sign in your zip code on the forms on this page so you can access free online quotes. This is a convenient, efficient way to determine whether there is sufficient affordable auto insurance coverage for mopeds in the area before you decide to get a moped instead of a car.
