Things to Know About ATV Insurance Policies

While requirements vary by location, understanding coverage options helps you avoid costly surprises.

1. Liability coverage is the foundation of most ATV insurance policies. It helps pay for bodily injury or property damage you cause to others in an accident. Even in states where ATV insurance isn’t legally required, liability coverage is strongly recommended, especially if you ride on public land or trails.
2. Collision coverage pays for damage to your ATV if you collide with another vehicle or object, regardless of fault. This is particularly valuable for newer or high-value ATVs, as repairs can be expensive.
3. Comprehensive coverage protects against non-collision events such as theft, vandalism, fire, weather damage, or hitting an animal. If your ATV is stored outdoors or transported frequently, comprehensive coverage can be essential.
4. Many policies offer medical payments or personal injury protection, which helps cover medical expenses for you or your passengers after an accident, regardless of fault. This can supplement health insurance and provide faster access to care.
5. Uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage is another important option. It protects you if you’re hit by someone who doesn’t have enough insurance—or any at all—while operating their vehicle.
6. ATV insurance premiums are influenced by factors such as the ATV’s engine size, usage type, riding location, safety features, rider experience, and claim history. Discounts may be available for completing safety courses, bundling policies, or installing anti-theft devices.
7. It’s also important to understand where your policy applies. Some policies exclude coverage on public roads, racing events, or commercial use. Always review exclusions carefully to ensure your riding activities are covered.
8. Finally, consider optional accessory coverage for custom parts, trailers, or riding gear. Standard policies may not fully cover aftermarket upgrades.

In short, ATV insurance isn’t one-size-fits-all. Choosing the right policy means balancing legal requirements, riding habits, and financial protection to keep you covered on and off the trail. Call us anytime if you need more information.
