Snowmobile Insurance is Different from Auto Insurance

People use snowmobiles for a variety of reasons. You might use them for sport or for a weekend on the tracks. But snowmobiles are versatile. You can use them for many practical purposes. 

 Some people use snowmobiles as property appliances when they live in winter climates. Others use them as a vehicle if they are snowbound and need to get on the road. 

Local laws for operating snowmobiles on public roads vary. Many states allow snowmobiles to operate on public roads. However, their use is usually strictly defined in these cases. Where and when you operate a snowmobile begs the question, are snowmobiles considered vehicles? 

Snowmobiles are vehicles, but they are not your car or other vehicles you drive on a standard road. Therefore, your insurance coverage for a snowmobile is not auto insurance coverage. You should not attempt to add a snowmobile to a standard auto insurance policy. 

Snowmobiles come with their own, specialty snowmobile insurance policies. When you venture out in a snowmobile, you experience risks that are different from risks involving a car. 

Snowmobile insurance is not the same thing as auto insurance. But, it often covers many of the same aspects of car insurance. 

Liability Coverage 

This coverage will cover property damage and bodily injuries to other parties if you are liable for an accident. 

Collision Coverage 

This will help cover you if you collide with another vehicle, and in many cases if you experience a rollover. 

Comprehensive Coverage  

This type of coverage can help if your snowmobile experiences damages that aren’t caused by a collision. This can include theft, fire and weather coverage. 

Uninsured Motorist Coverage  

This covers gaps in coverage if you collide with another operator or vehicle that doesn’t carry appropriate insurance. 

Bodily Injury Coverage  

This will help cover medical treatment for you and passengers. 

Snowmobile insurance might also come with special coverage aspects. Parts of your policy might cover safety apparel and replacement with original parts. 

One other important thing you should check when you buy snowmobile insurance is when coverage works. Some policies may only cover off-road use. Others may cover both on- an off-road use. If you use a snowmobile outside its covered area, then insurance may not issue you a payout. 

You should always know local laws that require you to carry snowmobile insurance. Always consider the circumstances in which you use your vehicle. Even though snowmobiles are not cars, they can be vehicles nonetheless. 

We are proud to offer many different choices on snowmobile insurance. If you have questions regarding your coverage, call us today at (716) 631-0363.
