If your motorcycle is stolen while you’re in Mexico, this coverage can compensate you for its market value, minus the selected deductible.
Example: You park your motorcycle outside a restaurant, and it’s stolen while you’re dining. After reporting the theft to the Mexican police, your policy may cover the loss after applying the deductible.

You and your passenger are injured after being struck by another vehicle. Medical expense coverage may cover your hospital bills and treatment costs.
