Do I need quad bike insurance?
Yes. Government regulations were introduced in 2011 (PDF 746KB) which stated all quad bike owners must be covered by an appropriate policy, in an attempt to crack down on uninsured motorists.
Without adequate cover you could still be fined, even if your quad bike is not in use. The only exception to this rule is if you have declared your ATV off the road with a Statutory Off-Road Notification.

Which level of quad bike cover should I choose?
There are three different levels of quad bike cover, and it’s important that you choose the one that’s most suited to your needs. They are:
- Third-party only
- Third-party, fire and theft
- Comprehensive
Third-party only
This is the most basic level of ATV insurance and offers the minimum degree of protection. You will be insured against the vehicle or property of a third party becoming damaged as a result of an accident that was your fault, but there is no cover for fire, theft, or damage suffered by your quad.
Third-party, fire and theft
A policy of this kind offers the same protection as third-party only, but your quad will also be covered in the event of it being stolen or suffering fire damage.
Comprehensive
A comprehensive policy offers protection against any damage to a third party’s vehicle or property, as well as for fire, theft or accidental damage suffered by your ATV.

Why would my quad insurance not pay out?
There are some circ*mstances which may mean your quad bike insurance is invalidated. These include but are not limited to any liability, accident, injury, loss, or damage that occurs when the quad is:
- In the charge of someone not entitled to ride it, as described by the certificate of insurance
- Ridden by someone who does not possess the appropriate licence
- Being used to carry passengers or goods in a way that is likely to affect its safe driving
These are just some of the instances where you are unlikely to be protected by your quad bike insurance. For a full list of the exclusions, please check your policy wording.
