What Does Snowmobile Insurance Cover?

Some coverage options you can expect to find with a snowmobile insurance policy in Montana include:

Liability coverage: This is designed to cover the costs that are accrued by third-parties who are injured or suffer property damage as a result of a snowmobile collision for which you are at fault.
Collision coverage: This is designed to compensate you for damages to your snowmobile if it is damaged in any type of collision, regardless of fault.
Comprehensive coverage: This is designed to cover damages to your sled if it is damaged in a non-collision-related covered event such as fire, flood, falling objects, vandalism and theft.
Medical payments coverage: This is meant to cover the costs associated with necessary medical treatment for you and your passengers if you are injured in a snowmobile collision, regardless of fault.
Uninsured/underinsured coverage: This is meant to cover the costs associated with personal injury and property damage that you may experience in a collision with an at-fault snowmobile operator who lacks the necessary coverage or funds to cover your expenses.
Trailer coverage: This is designed to provide coverage for the trailer you use to transport your sled to or from the trails.
Breakdown assistance: If you need help or assistance while out on the trails because of a problem such as a machine break-down, problem with your battery or even lost keys, this coverage is designed to cover the associated costs.
Safety apparel coverage: If you own expensive safety equipment such as helmets, gloves and goggles, you may want to add this coverage which is designed to cover your losses if your equipment is stolen or damaged by a covered event.

Does Snowmobile Insurance Cost a Lot in Montana?

Many insurance companies will permit you to insure up to five operators for your sled. Some will even enable you to save money by insuring multiple snowmobiles with a single policy. By eliminating the need to purchase a separate policy for every member of your family, you can save both time and money. There are a number of factors that can affect the cost of your snowmobile insurance policy including:

The make, model, year and purchase price of your snowmobile
How much liability coverage you wish to purchase
Which coverage options you choose
Where and how you store your sled when not in use
Whether or not you have successfully completed a snowmobile safety course
Your personal driving record and claims history

Despite the number of factors that can influence rates, policy costs will not vary much from person to person because this coverage is highly affordable. Most Montana residents pay less than $15 per month for their snowmobile insurance. This is a small price to pay for the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your investment and your finances are well-protected when you are enjoying time on your snowmobile.
