I am thinking about getting minimum coverage so I can ride my ATV on State Forest trails. Does anyone know an approximate annual price for ATV insurance?

I pay $44 for a Yamaha kodiak, Pretty sure it more then needed, I have the limits pretty high just for peace of mind.
I imagine $30 for the least, Progressive has all three atv wrapped into one.
Never understood how they can give you full coverage on something your going beat up. A buddy hill climbed a Grizzly 660 up at tower city, rolled end over end, slammed down into the pond...covered. New everything.

"BODILY INJURY & PROPERTY DAMAGE LIABILITY $11.00
BI $100,000 EACH PERSON - $300,000 EACH ACCIDENT
PROPERTY DAMAGE LIABILITY - $50,000 EACH ACCIDENT"
06 Kodiak cost for liability

I sell ATV insurance.A lot of companies have a minimum premium of 75-100 dollars.The liability is extremely cheap,usually less than $12/year but that will depend on age,driving history,type of machine,multi-policy discounts etc.I can usually write a married adult with full coverage for under $100/yr.Since the minimum premium is $90/yr,it just makes sense to keep adding coverage until you hit the 90 dollars.
I have 3 ATV's and a dirt bike.I would never not cover them fully unless they were pretty old.Homeowners doesn't cover them in Pa for anything and your auto doesn't cover them when trailering them.Last summer,my kids twisted two of them up pretty bad and did about 7k worth of damage to them.The 90 bucks was money well spent.
I have hundreds of ATV's insured and really only ever had a couple claims each year until the Can am commanders and RZR's hit the scene.People destroy those things on a regular basis.ATV insurance used to be pretty cheap because the risk really wasn't all that great.I'm predicting that's about to change.People are demolishing these side by sides every day and the claims are big,especially when you add in the cost of all the aftermarket accessories.That brings up another point,if you have a lot of money in accessories,make sure you add them on.Most policies have a limit of 1k-3k so if you have more than that,add it on.

I totally agree dce. I sell insurance as well. People need to understand to carry insurance on these machines. Also don't skimp on liability limits, personal injury can occur just as easily on these machines as your auto. The days of cheap coverage for these things will be in the past with the rise of cost on these machines.
Most of the liability issues revolve around kids and alchohol.Kids do stupid things.They ride their friends and they let their friends ride them.That's a liability disaster waiting to happen.A few years ago,one of my cutomers let his uncle and nephew take his RZR for a ride.I never even knew he had one so it wasn't insured.His wife called me in a panic because the nephew hit a tree,killing the uncle.It was family so nothing happened but it could have been catastrophic.He never did get reimbursed for the rzr which was destroyed.
I live in a rural area right on the edge of Elk county where you can pretty much ride most of the twp roads.People run the roads around here to get there,which is illegal.Generally speaking,if a cop pulls you over and you stop and have your insurance and registration handy,they usually let you skate.

No.The only motorized vehicles covered under a HO policy are ones used strictly for the maintenance of the property.If you can prove that you use it strictly for plowing snow,pulling implements etc and it never goes on a trail,you may have a case.It would be a tough nut to crack though.I only know of one instance where that worked.
