Protect Your Next Off-Road Adventure

Whether you're riding wooded trails, exploring hunting property, maintaining land, or enjoying weekend recreation, your ATV or UTV represents a significant investment that deserves proper protection.

 

Many owners assume their homeowners insurance will fully protect their off-road vehicles. In reality, coverage is often limited or may not apply when the vehicle is being operated away from your property.

 

At M&M Insurance Agency, we help ATV and UTV owners throughout Michigan and Wisconsin find insurance coverage designed for how these vehicles are actually used.

​

What's the Difference Between an ATV and a UTV?

 

ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle)

An ATV is typically:

• Designed for a single rider or operator

• Controlled using handlebars

• Straddled like a motorcycle

• Commonly called a four-wheeler

 

Examples include:

• Polaris Sportsman

• Honda FourTrax

• Yamaha Grizzly

• Can-Am Outlander

 

UTV (Utility Task Vehicle)

A UTV, often called a Side-by-Side, is typically:

• Operated with a steering wheel

• Equipped with seats and seat belts

• Designed for multiple passengers

• Larger than an ATV

 

Examples include:

• Polaris Ranger

• Polaris RZR

• Can-Am Defender

• Can-Am Maverick

• Kawasaki Mule

• Yamaha Wolverine

• Honda Pioneer

Transportation and utility use on hunting properties.

​

Property Maintenance

Land management and utility work on private property.

​

Farming & Rural Property Use

Coverage options may vary depending on how the vehicle is used.

​

Recreation

Family riding, camping, and outdoor activities.

​

Michigan ATV & UTV Insurance

Michigan has extensive ATV and ORV trail systems that attract riders from across the Midwest.

 

Because ATVs and UTVs are frequently operated away from home, liability protection is often one of the most important coverages to consider.

​

Wisconsin ATV & UTV Insurance

Wisconsin's trail network continues to expand, making ATV and UTV ownership increasingly popular.

 

Proper insurance can help protect both the vehicle and the owner when accidents occur on trails, road routes where permitted, or private property.

​

Why Homeowners Insurance May Not Be Enough

Many homeowners policies provide limited coverage for off-road vehicles.

 

Coverage restrictions often apply when:

• The vehicle leaves your property

• Liability claims occur

• Theft occurs away from home

• Physical damage losses exceed policy limitations

 

A dedicated ATV or UTV policy is often the best way to protect your investment.

​

Discounts May Be Available

Depending on eligibility, discounts may be available for:

• Multi-policy customers

• Multiple recreational vehicles

• Homeowners

• Safe driving history

• Multiple insured units
