The General is one of the few motorcycle insurers who provide no-frills coverage to high-risk drivers. You’ll like The General if you can’t find a good rate with another insurer because you’re considered a high risk driver, especially if you’re a new driver or have a spotty driving record.
However, competitors may offer additional coverage and discounts for the average rider seeking more benefits. You’ll typically find better rates and perks from standard insurers.
The General provides basic coverage to get you on the road. The draw of The General is getting the minimum coverage you need to stay on the road without paying extra for special perks or add-ons.
The General doesn’t include many discount options. However, you can save money by paying your policy in full. Pay your 4-, 6- or 12-month policy premium up front to get this discount.
You can apply for motorcycle insurance online or through a local agent.
