Rhode Island is a beautiful state for recreation, especially if you have an all-terrain vehicle, or ATV, such as a quad, side-by-side, UTV, or 3-wheeler. While there are some restrictions as to where you can ride, there are great trail-riding opportunities in Newport, near Narragansett, or in the Burrillville area. Anywhere you go can be fun, but because there are other riders and obstacles along the way, there can be some significant risks too. Whether you use your ATV for work or leisure, make sure you’re prepared with the right Rhode Island ATV insurance to protect your investment.

What Is Rhode Island ATV Insurance?
Whether you drive a UTV, a quad, a 3-wheeler or a side-by-side, there is a Rhode Island ATV insurance policy available for you. ATV insurance works much the same way as an automobile policy works. The coverage protects your from damage or loss to your ATV in an accident, or can help you pay medical costs and legal fees that may be associated with an ATV accident in which you are found to be at fault. Here are some of your options:
- Liability coverage is for an accident you cause. It typically covers third-party bodily injury claims, property damage claims, and can also pay for your legal defense.
- Comprehensive coverage pays for damage to your ATV after a deductible is paid, due to theft, falling objects, hail, colliding an object, or hitting an animal.
- Collision coverage will pay for damages to or replacement of your ATV as the result of an accident, after paying a deductible.
- Other coverages, like medical payments, underinsured motorist, and roadside assistance coverage are available, in case your ATV becomes disabled while on the trails.
How Much Does Rhode Island ATV Insurance Cost?
In general, you may find that Rhode Island ATV insurance is very affordable, though rates will vary by carrier, your location and how you use the vehicle. If your vehicle is used for farming or ranching on your own property, and does not leave the property, your coverage will be very cheap, as your risk of a claim will be very low. But if your use the vehicle every weekend for hunting or trail-riding, you will likely pay a little bit more.
However, there are several other factors that go into this as well, such as your driving record, your age and gender, where you live, the age and value of the vehicle, and how much coverage you would need to be adequately protected.
