But hikers and snowmobilers aren’t the only ones who can take advantage of them – with thousands of kilometres of trails to explore, Ontario’s ATV (all-terrain vehicle) trails give riders access to some of the most stunning landscapes this province has to offer.

Ride With Peace of Mind
Whether speeding down a rocky cliff or cruising along a dusty trail, don’t leave yourself and your ATV unprotected. Whether you’ve been riding for twenty years or twenty days, it’s vital to have the right kind of coverage, so you can ride your ATV with peace of mind.
Just like other recreational vehicles, all-terrain vehicles are covered under your auto insurance policy, and are insured against physical damage. However, as an ATV owner, you must also carry third party liability coverage – this protects you in the event of an accident, if you cause damage to another person or property.
