What is ATV insurance?

ATV insurance is a type of personal insurance coverage designed to protect you and your ATV from financial losses in case of accidents, damage, or theft. Sometimes called four-wheeler insurance, this policy provides coverage tailored to the unique risks of driving off-road vehicles. Although Virginia law doesn’t require ATV insurance, it’s highly recommended for anyone who owns and operates an ATV. Not only does ATV insurance protect your vehicle, but it can also help cover liability costs if you’re involved in an accident that causes injury or property damage to others.

Can four-wheeler insurance be canceled during the offseason?

Yes, some insurance providers do allow policyholders to cancel four-wheeler insurance during the offseason, especially if the vehicle is not being used for an extended period. This can help reduce costs by eliminating coverage during months when the ATV or four-wheeler is in storage. However, canceling the insurance entirely leaves your vehicle vulnerable to risks like theft, fire, or damage while it is not in use. Even though the vehicle is not being driven, it can still be exposed to unforeseen circumstances that may result in significant financial loss. Instead of fully canceling the policy, many insurers offer the option of adjusting your coverage to reflect the seasonal use of your four-wheeler.

Client Reviews

The work I did with Jenkins Insurance covered multiple policies, for vehicles and residence, covering several autos and drivers, and was complex and multi-faceted. Tammy worked with me to make sure everything was in order and on time (even with changing deadlines).

Whenever we need to update our policy because of buying a new car or some other change Mackenzie has been efficient and even sent me copies of the new policy because it wasn’t convenient for me to get them online. Tammy checked our policies (home, auto, and umbrella) and applied a discount so we are paying less per month. Very good agency.

What does ATV insurance typically include in its coverage?

ATV insurance in Virginia typically provides coverage in several key areas to protect both you and your four-wheeler:

Liability Coverage: This covers injuries or damages to others if you’re at fault in an accident. It includes both bodily injury and property damage liability, which can protect you from costly lawsuits.
Collision Coverage: This part of your policy helps cover repairs to your ATV if it’s damaged in a collision with another vehicle or object, regardless of who’s at fault.
Comprehensive Coverage: Comprehensive coverage helps cover non-collision-related incidents, such as theft, vandalism, fire, or weather-related damage to your ATV.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage: This helps protect you if you’re involved in an accident with someone who doesn’t have insurance or lacks adequate coverage.
Medical Payments Coverage: This covers medical expenses for you or your passengers if you’re injured while riding your ATV, regardless of fault.

Are friends or family members covered if they borrow my ATV?

In most cases, friends or family members who borrow your ATV are generally covered under your insurance policy, as long as they have your permission to use the vehicle. Most ATV insurance policies provide coverage for other drivers, including those who are not listed as primary policyholders, as long as they meet certain conditions. These conditions typically include being of legal driving age and having a valid driver’s license. However, coverage for accidents or damage may vary depending on the terms and limits of your policy. It’s important to check with your insurer to confirm that your policy covers friends or family members driving your ATV, as some policies may have exclusions or limitations.

Does ATV insurance cover rental ATVs or ATVs used on vacation?

Typically, standard ATV insurance does not cover rented ATVs or ATVs used on vacation, especially if the rental occurs out of state or internationally. Your personal ATV insurance is designed to protect the vehicle you own, and it may not extend to other ATVs you rent or use while traveling. This limitation can apply whether you’re renting an ATV in a different state or abroad, as most policies only cover vehicles that are specifically owned and insured by the policyholder.

Can I get insurance for multiple ATVs under the same policy?

Yes, it is possible to insure multiple ATVs under the same policy, often referred to as a multi-ATV or fleet policy. Many insurance providers offer discounts or customized coverage options for owners who have more than one ATV, whether for personal use, recreational riding, or commercial purposes. A multi-ATV policy allows you to bundle all your vehicles under a single insurance plan, making it more convenient and potentially more affordable than insuring each ATV individually.

When insuring multiple ATVs, you can typically select the same coverage options for each vehicle, such as liability, collision, comprehensive, and medical payments coverage, or you can tailor coverage based on the specific needs of each ATV.

What factors affect the cost of ATV insurance in Virginia?

Several factors impact the cost of ATV insurance. Knowing these can help you make an informed decision when choosing coverage:

ATV Type and Engine Size: ATVs with larger engines or unique features typically cost more to insure due to their increased risk and higher replacement costs.
Vehicle Age and Condition: Newer ATVs or those in excellent condition may have higher premiums because of the higher value of these vehicles.
Usage: If you use your ATV for recreational riding versus work-related purposes, it could affect your premium. High-frequency or high-risk use may increase insurance costs.
Coverage Limits: Higher coverage limits will lead to higher premiums. Deciding how much protection you need depends on your individual risk tolerance and how valuable your ATV is.
Deductible Amount: A higher deductible will lower your premium, but it means paying more out-of-pocket before insurance kicks in after a claim.
Driving Record: If you have a record of safe driving, it may reduce your insurance premium. On the other hand, any record of accidents or traffic violations could increase the cost.
Location: Virginia-specific factors, like where you ride and store your ATV, can also impact costs. Rural areas may have different premiums than urban ones based on risks like theft or accident rates.
