A huge (multiple million policies) missing market that no one is covering here is motorcycle coverage. Almost every site caters to car insurance, but no one touches bikes.

Opportunity for someone for sure.



care to elaborate, pls?


I have multiple motorcycles. I'd like to buy insurance for them (already covered, but I wouldn't mind price shopping). Nearly all websites like this cater to finding you a better price on coverage for a newer car. I have a 30+ year old motorcycle and a 2 year old motorcycle. If there was a site that made it so I could find a cheaper (and better) insurance policy, I'd be totally up for it.

One key point here is 'better' as well- not just cheaper. If the insurer is likely to triple my premium after a claim, and another would only increase it by 10%, then I'd rather have the latter.

Kinda like Hipmunk- not just about the flight price purely, but the agony involved in flying that trip. No use on saving $5 on a ticket, only to need to spend 12 hours and 3 meals in an airport on layover, or stuck at an airport that will always leave me stranded with cancelations.

I doubt this is a 300 billion dollar business (it isn't), but I can only imagine there's enough money in this to employ a few dozen people and make real money.


I've never found a company whose motorcycle coverage came even close to being as cheap as Geico's. So there's your comparison right there :-)
