Basic policies may start around $100 a year for a legal adult rider with a good driving record.

For example, some insurers will offer you a lower price if you take additional safety courses, ride without making claims for a period of time, or bundle your snowmobile insurance with auto or home insurance, for example.

If your machine is just for trail rides, it may be less expensive to cover than if you plan to use it for racing, or if you haul it to remote mountain areas to ride.
