About Markel | Common Sense Insurance Experts

We are who we insure.

Your fun isn’t an afterthought for us – it’s our primary insurance focus.

For over 35 years, Markel American Insurance Company’s sole focus has been insuring motorcycles, boats and ATVs – unlike other insurance companies that offer it as a supplement to their auto and homeowners business.
