Rideshare and Twisted Roads both cover the owners bike and injury with their own policy if the rider is at fault. The rider also needs to have been licensed for 3 years, be over 25 and have a liability policy.
Not sure if it will be all that easy when it comes time to claim though. What if another road user is at fault? How do they decide who is at fault?
Usually you'd just claim from your own insurance and let them duke it out with the other party, but here you'll have to show cause.
Airbnb covers their owners' property, but the risk is far less.
I travel to the USA every summer and would like to give it a whirl this year. It's a real PITA getting a bike registered, as a non-resident, and then having to sell or store it until the following summer.
Touring Ted. I'm sure there are many foreigners who would like to arrive, hop on and ride and then walk away at the end of their holiday. Perhaps a reasonable rental secured by large deposit would be more attractive than buy-back.
