What ATV Insurance Coverage Is Available in Idaho?
ATV insurance in Idaho works much like a car insurance policy. There are many different options for coverage. A typical ATV policy may include the following:
- Liability coverage: Liability insurance is designed to cover you if you cause an accident while riding your ATV. If the accident is serious and involves medical expenses, your liability insurance will cover those costs up to the policy limit. If the accident ends in a lawsuit, your insurance can also cover fees related to your legal defense.
- Medical cost coverage: Medical cost coverage will cover any medical bills for you or riders of your ATV, regardless of fault. It can also cover out-of-pocket medical costs.
- Collision coverage: If you've purchased your ATV from a dealership, they most likely required you to carry collision coverage until the loan was paid. If your ATV is involved in an accident, this coverage will pay for the damage to your ATV.
- Comprehensive coverage: Lenders also require borrowers to have comprehensive coverage before they purchase an ATV in order to cover any damage stemming from anything other than collision. This covers fire, theft, vandalism, falling objects or “acts of God.” This coverage also extends to any accessories or upgrades.
- Uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage: If you're involved in a collision with an uninsured or underinsured ATV rider or motorist, this coverage will pay for damage to your ATV.
