What Coverages Are Included in Snowmobile Policies?
As is the case with most insurance products, the exact coverages included in snowmobile policies can vary. Nonetheless, there are many coverages that policies frequently make available. More common protections include:
- Personal Injury Protection, which might cover an operator’s and passengers’ injuries
- Bodily Injury Liability Coverage, which might cover other people’s injuries
- Collision Coverage, which might cover damage to the snowmobile that occurs in an accident
- Comprehensive Coverage, which might cover damage to the snowmobile that occurs in a non-accident incident
- Accessories Coverage, which might cover a trailer, aftermarket parts and safety equipment
- Property Damage Liability Coverage, which might cover damage to other people’s property
- Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage, which might cover accidents caused by snowmobilers who don’t have insurance
There may be additional protections that a policy makes available as an included or optional feature.
An insurance agent who specializes in this type of insurance can help snowmobilers wade through the various coverage options, and select the ones they need or want.
Do Snowmobile Policies Come with Roadside Assistance?
While not a coverage in the traditional sense of the term, many snowmobile policies offer towing and roadside assistance as an available add-on. This feature normally pays towing costs if a snowmobile breaks down while in use.
Where a policy’s roadside assistance program will cover towing from, however, varies. Some policies will only pick up snowmobiles from nearby an actual public road, while other policies may tow snowmobiles that malfunction away from roads.
Snowmobilers who are especially interested in this feature can ask their insurance agent to look for a policy that offers extended emergency towing services.
How Much Do Snowmobile Policies Cost?
Premiums for snowmobile policies vary because they’re based on a lot of factors. Just a few of the things that can influence how much a policy costs are the:
- Snomobile’s year, make and model
- Rider’s or snowmobile's location
- Rider’s recent claims history
- Coverages and limits chosen
Even with these variables, however, most snowmobile policies tend to be quite affordable.
