If you are the owner of an ATV or snowmobile, chances are you’re quite the adventure seeker! You also probably know how crucial it is to properly protect yourself. Remember too, that this same protection extends to your ATV.
Are you aware that if you drive an ATV on public roads, it is obligatory to carry insurance coverage with you? Regardless of whether you’re using your ATV for hunting, fishing, or exploring trails, Will Marshall Insurance in Orillia has the coverage that you need.
What We Offer:
Our insurance protection covers all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) that typically refer to self-propelled vehicles which are built with four or more wheels, and designed to be driven off-road on land, snow, and ice. A good example of an ATV would be a four-wheel vehicle driven near your home or cottage, or for recreation purposes like driving through forest trails. Having said that keep in mind that snowmobiles aren’t considered ATVs, and therefore they have their own insurance policies. ATVs can sometimes be defined differently by provincial laws, so if you have any concerns we recommend that you refer to the legislation here in Ontario, or in your province for information on whether your vehicle qualifies as an ATV, and what obligations you might have.
As with car insurance, ATV insurance is mandatory but subject to some specific exceptions. The mandatory insurance coverage includes liability coverage should you be legally liable for bodily injury or damage to property, caused by the use of your ATV. It may also include Accident Benefits coverage for medical expenses and loss of income, and additional coverage based on your particular location.
Additional voluntary coverage for your ATV is also available, with many options to choose from such as comprehensive, which provides protection against fire, theft and vandalism, and lastly collision, which covers damage to your vehicle that is the result of a collision with another object or by upset.
