Did you try calling your insurance company and asking them if it's something you could add to your existing policy?
I flew down to Orlando a few years ago and rented a BMW GS1200 from them to ride down to the Keys (bucket list stuff) and they were really awesome. Make sure they include helmets in the rental if you decide you don't want the hassle of transporting yours. Also, do a quick video (cell phone) walk around of the bike in case you miss anything on the initial inspection. Lastly, if there are any toll roads that require the e-z pass they will try to up sell you into paying a lot of money per day. You have three options if you want to avoid the additional rental fee. 1.) Walgreens or the like usually provide the box for purchase. 2.) You can normally log onto the state's DOT site and post pay any tolls within 2 weeks to avoid a fine. 3.) Avoid the tolls. Rubber down and have fun!!!
And if your insurance company won't allow you to add to your current policy you can always switch to Progressive...this is right from their website: https://www.progressive.com/understandin...cycle_ins/
