What Types of Coverage Are Available in Alabama?

ATV Insurance options are grouped together in order to give you the most coverage as an ATV rider. This includes different coverage types such as the following:

  • Liability: If you are involved in an accident with your ATV, you may be liable for damages, medical bills and repairs. Liability coverage helps pay for these costs.
  • Collision: This coverage helps repair your ATV after an accident, regardless of fault.
  • Comprehensive: This insurance is termed "other than collision." If you have a bad run-in with a tree or run into a rock or you fall victim to a fire, wind or theft, this coverage can go to work to get your ATV repaired.
  • Uninsured or underinsured motorist: Unfortunately, since ATV insurance isn't required, many riders do not have coverage. If you are involved in an ATV accident, you can file a claim to get the repairs or medical bills paid by the responsible party, but if they don't have insurance or reach the limit of their policy, you may be responsible for paying the bills yourself. This coverage can help pay those costs.
  • Equipment coverage: If you use equipment such as a GPS system, a trailer or cameras, equipment coverage can cover those items.
