Do I Need Snowmobile Insurance in IL?
Illinois is one of 23 states that require snowmobile owners to carry at least a minimum level of liability insurance, but that might not be enough to protect you after an accident. Many sled accidents are caused by driving into other vehicles, trees, animals and thawed lakes, which could cause damage that you don’t have coverage for. Your agent can help you fill any insurance gaps and answer all your questions so you have the right amount of coverage for your needs.
What Exactly Does Snowmobile Insurance Cover?
Snowmobile insurance provides similar coverage to many motorized vehicle policies such as ATVs, motorcycles, and even cars and trucks. There are several types of coverage available for a snowmobile policy, including these basic policy options:
- Liability: This is the state requirement. It pays for damage to other vehicles and/or medical bills for injuries suffered in an accident for which you are at fault, up to the limit you choose.
- Collision: Pays for damage to your snowmobile caused by an accident, regardless of fault.
- Comprehensive: Pays to repair your snowmobile if it is damaged by weather, fire, theft or vandalism.
