If you own recreational vehicles and toys such as jet skis, ATV’s or snowmobiles, you should have Recreational Insurance. Do not assume your homeowners’ insurance or auto insurance policies cover these recreational items.
On The Water
Illinois provides access to the Mississipi River and Lake Michigan. If you own a small personal watercraft such as a jetski, protect yourself and your passengers against financial loss caused by injury, liability, or theft. Other watercraft drivers may be inexperienced, underinsured, or intoxicated. If you have questions about personal watercraft coverage, ask the insurance agents at George Ryan Jr. Insurance Group Inc., in Bourbonnais IL.
On the Land
If you ride your ATV on any highway, roadway, or traffic right of way, you must have insurance meeting the minimum requirements of Illinois. Letting non-household members drive or ride your ATV is an excellent reason to have quality insurance coverage. Insurance is available for three-wheelers, four-wheelers, UTVs, and dune buggies. You will need liability insurance if you plan to ride your snowmobile on public trails, or if you drive a moped.
A newer type of bicycle, the electric bike or pedelec, does not require insurance in Illinois. However, since the law classifies the vehicle as a bicycle, riders are not required to pass a driver’s test. If you ride your electric bike around other pedelec riders, you should consider purchasing insurance.
