Your policy will not cancel if the payment is not received by the due date, however a late fee will be incurred.

If you receive a notice of cancellation, your policy will cancel as of the cancellation date indicated on the notice. If your policy is in cancellation due to non-payment, your policy will cancel as of the cancellation date, unless the payment amount is paid prior to the cancellation date.

Yes, you can submit a payment on a cancelled or expired policy through your online account or here. If you are seeking reinstatement for a non-payment cancellation, please contact us or your agent.

If you cancel your policy, you may be entitled to a refund. Not all refunds are pro-rated. Pro-rated means that the amount of time the policy was in effect is compared to the 12 month term and that proportion is multiplied against the premium.

Claims

You can report a claim 24/7 by selecting Report a Claim Online from any page on plymouthrock.com or by calling your agent. You can always contact us directly too.

Whenever possible, all losses should be reported immediately to the police. A police report is mandatory for all theft, attempted theft, and theft with recovery claims. In many states it is also required for all hit and run claims.

You are not required to take your motorcycle to a specific dealer or repair shop; however, the facility must be licensed by the state. If your motorcycle is covered under a factory or extended warranty, please check with your motorcycle dealer for any restrictions or conditions that apply that may void your warranty. You can also ask your claims representative for preferred repair facilities.

No. As Rider Insurance Company has paid you to have the parts replaced, you are not entitled to keep the damaged parts. At the discretion of the company, all damaged parts are either picked up by our salvage dealer or disposed of by the repair facility.

In the event of a loss, your policy remains in effect until we receive a written and signed request from you to cancel the policy or to delete a motorcycle. If the motorcycle is a total loss, you may request a cancellation or deletion as of the day following the accident or incident. If your motorcycle is stolen, it is suggested you maintain coverage for a minimum of thirty days or until the claim is resolved, at which time you may request a cancellation or deletion as of the day following the theft.

Coverage

Pays for covered losses caused by impact with another vehicle or object. Policy limit for collision coverage is $45,000, subject to deductible and policy exclusions. Coverage is optional. All vehicles must be listed in the N.A.D.A. Book to qualify for collision coverage.

Pays for covered losses from damage not related to a collision with another vehicle or object. Types of coverage covered under comprehensive insurance includes natural disasters and storms, fire, vandalism, theft, damaged caused by hitting an animal and falling objects. A motorcycle is eligible for this coverage if it is listed in the NADA appraisals guide and is within 40 years of the current calendar. Coverage is optional and subject to a deductible and $45,000 policy limit.

Rider Insurance will pay replacement cost for certain total loss motorcycles. Motorcycles that are entitled to replacement cost must have been purchased new and within one calendar year of the date of loss. Replacement cost means the cost of purchasing the same motorcycle or the price you paid for it, whichever is less, minus the deductible. It is up to the insured to find a replacement bike. Invoices will be required. Replacement cost does not include every dollar spent when the bike was purchased. For example, it will not include payment for extended warranties or other dealer incentives; it will also not guarantee that any loan will be completely paid off, if that loan exceeded the unit cost of the bike.

The maximum Rider will pay will be $45,000, plus accessories, if eligible (up to the accessory limit). Accessories coverage is not included in the replacement cost coverage. Accessories will be covered under the accessory coverage endorsement where applicable.

The Rider Accessory Package applies to all qualifying vehicles listed on the declaration page of your policy of insurance with comprehensive or collision coverage. For no additional premium, the Rider Accessory Package includes two separate coverage benefits. First, it supplies coverage for accessories, chromed parts and non-standard equipment and customized paint up to a maximum of $8,000 ($3,000 for paint), subject to the per motorcycle deductible. Second, it supplies coverage for trailers, as excess above any other available coverage. You also have the option to tailor your policy with increased limits up to $30,000. Not available for ATVs or UTVs.

If you purchased comprehensive or collision coverage, you are automatically covered for the following items: damage to DOT approved helmets 5 years old or less to a maximum of $500, after applying the collision deductible; and safety apparel that was damaged in an accident, to a maximum of $500, separate from the $500 maximum for a helmet, after applying the collision deductible. Finally, the package supplies trip interruption coverage for a limited reimbursement for meals and lodging if you get stuck more than 100 miles from your home because of an accident.

If you purchased comprehensive coverage or collision coverage, trailer coverage protects from damage caused by an insured peril to a trailer that can be towed by a motorcycle regardless of whether it is attached, and applies in excess above any other available coverage. This covers the trailer itself (excluding accessories and customization), not items within it.

This is an optional coverage which pays medical bills for the operator and passengers in an accident. The coverage is provided regardless of fault. Limit options include options up to $25,000.

No, your motorcycle is not covered outside the United States. The only exception is Canada, and you will have to obtain a Canadian ID card from Rider Insurance as proof of insurance. Please contact us with your request.

Customer Service

Adding an additional operator may increase the premium depending on the operator’s age, motor vehicle record and vehicle assignment. All additional operators must be disclosed.
