All-terrain vehicles, also known as ATVs, are loads of fun. Kids and adults alike enjoy cross-country travels, getting off the beaten path, taking the road not taken. But like any recreation involving speed and unpredictable terrain, people can suffer injury and property can be damaged. While insurance can’t protect you from an accident, insurance can go a long way in protecting your financial security. Get a quote today.
ABC’s of ATV Insurance
All-terrain vehicle insurance is somewhat similar to car insurance—both cover vehicle use. The way each is used, however, gives risk to different risk exposure. An ATV owner should review and understand the provisions of typical policies, keeping in mind how the ATV will be operated.
- Collision coverage addresses just what you’d think—significant damage caused by collisions, whether with a tree, another ATV, a rock, fence, etc.
- Comprehensive coverage is sometimes called “other than collision” coverage because it comes into play if your all-terrain vehicle is damaged or destroyed in a way other than a collision. For example, if your machine catches fire, is stolen, or is vandalized, you would make a claim under this portion of the policy.
- Liability coverage addresses expenses resulting from lawsuits. If you are sued, the insurance company provides a defense and covers a portion of the money damages you must pay the other party. The damages could result from property damage or personal injury.
- Underinsured coverage fills in if someone else injures you or your ATV, but doesn’t have enough insurance to cover all your damages.
- Uninsured coverage steps in when the person at fault failed to carry any insurance.
The amount of reimbursement you receive pursuant to these coverages depends on the particular policy—its limits, conditions, and deductible provisions. These factors also impact the cost. The best way to get a handle on cost and coverage is to visit with an independent agent like Andreotti Insurance Agency.
