Snowmobile owners typically can’t wait to break out their winter toys once the first snowflake hits the ground. The snowmobile season opens December 1st and runs until March 31st in Indiana. Local snowmobile clubs, the Indiana Snowmobilers Association and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources manage snowmobile trails. Trails are open when snow conditions are adequate. 

You may be tempted to take your snowmobile out on the trail without adequate snowmobile insurance, but remember that it’s important to be prepared for a run-in with that hidden stump, partially hidden fence or another snowmobiler. Indiana snowmobile insurance can cover your sled for loss or damage, while also covering you and your passengers for injuries. Contact an independent insurance agent in our network who can gather several Indiana snowmobile insurance quotes for you to compare.

Is Snowmobile Insurance Required in Indiana?

23 states in the U.S. have mandatory snowmobile insurance laws. Indiana is one of those states. That means a police officer or park official can ask to see proof of insurance if you are found to be operating a snowmobile in a mandatory insurance state. Most insurance providers offer coverage for any state and Canada, regardless of where you live. This is usually available at no additional cost.
