If you are considering buying an ATV, you&#8217;ll want to know the insurance required by the state. Premier Insurance Agency can help with getting a policy to keep you covered.<\/p>\n<h2>State Requirements for ATV Insurance<\/h2>\n<p>If you are operating an ATV strictly on off-road adventures, the state of Michigan does not require owners to have liability insurance. There are exceptions. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you choose to retrofit your ATV, so that it is street-legal, along with a license plate, the state requires that you have a standard no-fault auto insurance policy.<\/li>\n<li>If the ATV is being financed, the lender will require insurance for collision and comprehensive coverage.<\/li>\n<li>Some private clubs or properties will not allow access to an ATV without proof of insurance.<\/li>\n<li>If you plan to ride in private parks, state parks, or private trails, liability coverage is usually required.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Benefits of ATV Recreational Insurance<\/h2>\n<p>Ride with confidence when you have insurance. With a policy, you can avoid a financial hit in case of an unexpected event. A policy may cover the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Theft of your ATV.<\/li>\n<li>Vandalism.<\/li>\n<li>Collision protection, regardless of who is responsible for the collision.<\/li>\n<li>Protects expensive custom parts.<\/li>\n<li>Provides protection for you from an uninsured ATV off-road driver.<\/li>\n<li>Covers medical expenses if someone riding your ATV is injured.<\/li>\n<li>Provides third-party liability coverage for medical bills, legal fees, or damage to property if you injure another rider along the trail. This also applies to someone who may be a bystander and just watching.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Contact Us<\/h2>\n<p>The agents at Premier Insurance Agency are ready to make sure the time you spend on your ATV is enjoyable. Whether you only enjoy off-road trails or your ATV is ready to roll along the streets of Detroit, MI, we&#8217;ll make sure you have the recreational insurance coverage your ATV needs whenever and wherever the road takes you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About ATV Insurance ATVs provide an exciting way for Detroit, MI, residents to explore interesting terrain in and around Detroit, MI, whenever you&#8217;re in the mood for an outdoor adventure.
