Insurance for ATV’s/ All Terrain Vehicles – Request a Free Quote

The question about whether or not an ATV owner is required to buy Liability for their ATV can be answered quite simply: Yes, if you operate your ATV on a back country road in BC it is highly likely that you will be traveling on a Forestry Road. Ministry of Forests and Range regulations require you to carry proof of liability insurance and registration for your ATV. You will be asked to produce proof insurance by a Conservation officer, Forestry Enforcement officer or the RCMP. The fine can be well over $200.00 for failure to do so.

Q. What is third party liability insurance?
A. Liability insurance provides protection from legal liability that arises from the ownership or operation of your ATV/Dirt Bike covers both bodily injury (including death) of a third party and/or damage to their property caused by you.
Q. What is physical damage insurance?
A. Physical Damage is the policy you buy to protect against the loss of or damage to your ATV by fire, theft, transport or even collision.
Q. Is aftermarket equipment covered?
A. If extra equipment is attached to the insured vehicle and the value of that equipment was included in the insurance limit purchased, it will be covered. It is highly recommended that receipts for the original purchase of the added equipment be kept and that photos are kept that prove the existence of the extra equipment.
