San Antonio ATV Insurance Costs

If you use a UTV in your landscaping business, your coverage needs will be different from those of a San Antonio resident who tows an ATV a few weekends a year to a nearby trail such as the ones in Hidden Falls Adventure Park.

ATV Statistics
- There were 400,000 ATVs in use in 1985. Today there are over 9.2 million.
- 27% of all ATV accident fatalities are children under the age of 16.
ATV use comes with its risks. The state of Texas urges all riders to take safety courses and follow manufacturer’s guidelines when operating an off-road vehicle. Because ATVs can be dangerous and because they tend to be attractive to younger and less experienced riders, many insurers consider ATVs risky to cover. Taking approved ATV safety courses may reduce your insurance rates. In any case, these courses may be required for younger riders on public land in Texas.
