As an ATV driver in Calgary, there are responsibilities that come with owning and driving an ATV. Due to the relatively high cost of an ATV (the average price ranges between $3,000 and $15,000, at an average of $7,000,) a solid insurance policy is something to consider before your next adventure.
Although only basic ATV insurance is mandatory in Calgary, you may want to include some optional coverage options if you use your ATV on public roads. See below for additional insurance options.
Top 5 ATV Safety Tips
At Sharp Insurance, we value your safety. It’s about more than just protecting your investment — it’s about protecting you. ATV insurance in Calgary might be able to help pay your repair costs, but it can’t heal a broken arm or restore you back to a pre-concussion state.
In Canada, there are approximately 100 ATV-related deaths each year. ATVs are fun vehicles, but an accident can change your life forever.
Top 5 Safety Tips:
- Invest in some nerf bars for your ATV. They are huge foot pegs that will allow you to stabilize your feet for maximum control.
- Wear your safety gear. Helmets, goggles, boots — the works. Flipping over is a lot easier than you think!
- Inspect your fluids, lug nuts, tire pressure, etc. No one likes to be stranded.
- Back to basics — ride on designated trails only, one to a vehicle and save the alcohol for when you’re done.
- Tell someone where you’re going and when you’ll be back. Always go with another rider.
