Motorcycle Insurance Alabama 2026: 25/50/25 + $91/yr
Alabama motorcycle insurance 2026: 25/50/25, UM, helmet, $91/yr
Motorcycle insurance in Alabama is a statutory product first. Alabama’s Mandatory Liability Insurance law (Ala. Code §32-7A-4 and §32-7-6; AL DOR and AL DOI, fetched 15 Aug 2026) requires 25/50/25 on a motor vehicle designed for a public highway: $25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 per accident, $25,000 property damage. Progressive’s Alabama motorcycle page (fetched 15 Aug 2026) applies the same 25/50/25 split to riders.
Uninsured motorist coverage is included unless you reject it in writing (Ala. Code §32-7-23). Progressive says UM/UIM bodily injury “is also required in Alabama, but you may reject or lower this coverage with the submission of a signed form.” That is the offer-and-reject rule, not a purchase you cannot decline.
Alabama’s universal helmet law (Ala. Code §32-5A-245; Alabama Legislature code page, fetched 15 Aug 2026) requires every operator and passenger on a motorcycle or motor-driven cycle to wear protective headgear that complies with §32-12-41, plus shoes. There is no age exemption. 2026 Regular Session bills proposed amendments; they are introduced text, not enacted law. Progressive: all motorcyclists and passengers, without exception, must wear protective headgear.
