The state of Indiana requires insurance coverage for two-wheeled motor vehicles such as motorcycles and dirt-bikes, but there are no insurance requirements for all-terrain vehicles such as UTVs, 4-wheelers, 3-wheelers or side-by-sides.
You likely spent a lot of money on your all-terrain vehicle. If it were to be stolen or damaged in an accident, a comprehensive ATV insurance policy would provide compensation for your losses. More importantly, an ATV insurance policy protects you from liability expenses if you should cause an injury or property damage to someone else while on your ATV.

This insurance is usually very limited and often only applies if the accident, theft or damage to your ATV occurs on your own property. For full and reliable coverage, you need an Indianapolis ATV insurance policy.
